Trisquel does have an Aarch64 version available, but it's unlikely it will work at all;

https://mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/trisquel-images/trisquel-netinst_11.0.1_arm64.iso.asc
The only distro that seems to properly support Aarch64 is Gentoo, which is acceptable if you make sure to set ACCEPT_LICENSE="-* @FREE -Artistic -NPSL-0.95" (it is possible that there's a few other proprietary licenses in "@FREE") and avoid ebuilds with an incorrect LICENSE (for example all the Linux ones - use a free version of Linux instead; https://gnu.org/software/linux-libre).
When it comes to Aarch64 compiling with gcc, it seems 85% of ebuilds will compile and result in mostly working software if you compile to little-endian output; https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/AArch64-Options.html
You'll have to handcraft a GNU/Linux-libre image, but in the end it'll probably work just as well as a handcrafted AMD64 image (but would have taken much longer).

GoldenDict-ng looked proprietary due to the proprietary CoC, but thankfully it being GPLv3-or-later saves it; "All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term."

Linux will never be an OS, let alone one that is comparable to the GNU grub OS.
Linux doesn't allow you to press 'p' to poweroff, 'r' to reboot, 'o' to load OS's over SATA or NVME, 'u' to load OS's over usb or 'c' to enter a real command line without needing to install additional software.
You can even bundled software and commands like;
videoinfo and videotest (displays a cool video test).
pcidump (in straight hex true GNUmers can read).
lsacpi
cbmem (tells you how well coreboot init went (I'm not sure if this can even be printed once GNU/Linux-libre is booted))
lsmod (it actually tells you what modules are loaded).
Plus raw memory functions like; dump cutmem read_byte read_dword
smbios (read smbios variables)
tr
list_env
testspeed (file read speed)
cmosdump/set/test/clean
loadfont
cat
There's even networking functions like nslookup built in, although there is few supported network cards
Most of these commands can be passed --help to get usage tip too.
Such functionality is not default on most GNU/Linux distros, although it is on GNU Grub distros.
All of that is a far cry from what Linux offers too.
Install the GNU Grub OS today.

Someone may chime in and say "but LLVM" - but LLVM could not possibly be written without GCC, as it started as a GCC frontend.
LLVM frankly should not have been written - it is the LLVM's developers duty for the sake of humanity to adopt a free copyleft like the GPLv3-or-later or AGPLv3-or-later, or find and delete all copies of it, but they relentlessly shirk their duty.

@nprofile…ljg7 @nprofile…ytjz @nprofile…4hhn @nprofile…fpcl >the JS-less approach works well until the number of web requests grows.
Considering that fastCGI uses less web requests that your typical JavaScript webpage (it gets everything done in one hit fast, rather than keeping a socket open, or multiple to perform each operation), JavaScript scales worse than fastCGI.
>keep the user experience smooth and keep out the bots and AI through PoW captchas.
Scraping bots can be detected by analyzing the access logs and then you just block them (usually fully automatic, as they hit the server multiple times a second from the same IP or IP block).
PoW captchas written in JavaScript burn a serious amount of electricity and why wouldn't advanced scraping bots just run the JavaScript?
>cloud integration with file hosting
There is no cloud, there is only someone else's computer.

JavaScript doesn't scale well due to its poor efficiency, although most webhosts don't care about dumping the inefficiency onto the suckers.

Most of such sites are static sites, except instead of implementing them in FastCGI, they are implemented worse in JavaScript.
Such sites would be faster and waste less power without JavaScript.
>e-learning
Static HTML pages with maybe some images and videos are best for learning, as that way there are no distractions.
>all need client-side JavaScript.
None of them need JavaScript and should NOT have JavaScript.
>It's just a *necessity* to meet the minimum quality standards.
Working without JavaScript is the minimum acceptable quality standards for any website.
If JavaScript-free clients like GNU Social and BloatFE weren't available, the fediverse wouldn't meet my minimum quality standards, but thankfully it does.

The extension for that video is .file rather than .mp4, meaning browsers will only offer to download the video and not play it.

@nprofile…ljg7 @nprofile…ytjz @nprofile…fpcl >iFrames are discouraged by most web dev guidelines, as they can embed malicious remote content,
So iframes without JavaScript is bad, but a page full of malicious proprietary JavaScript without iframes is good? Huh.
Have you considered that JavaScript is always the "malicious remote content"?
>allowing criminals to inject malware, steal information, or conduct fraud
Exploitation, information exfiltration etc require JavaScript to pull off - meanwhile you cannot do any of that with just HTML.
>whereas client-side JavaScript is sandboxed within the isolated context of the webpage
Have you considered that there's always a sandbox bypass?
>with same-origin policy restrictions.
Last time I checked those can be applied to iframes just as well.
>Client-side processing grants improved responsiveness, better privacy and faster loadings, also reducing the carbon footprint by avoiding unnecessary web requests.
In reality, I find that cgit is far more responsive and loads faster and has better privacy than JavaScript-based git hosts, which are much slower and really hit the CPU hard - increasing electrical consumption substantially.
If you want to reduce CO₂ emissions, one effective move would be to eliminate JavaScript.

@nprofile…ljg7 @nprofile…ytjz >I own many digital goods and ownership is generally tied to purchase.
If you need to run a proprietary program to access such "digital goods", you don't own any of such.
>FOSS is about the rights of software developers and users to modify and distribute desktop and mobile software.
In fact, "FOSS" is about trying to be neutral between the freedom of free software and bootlicking corporates to get money to fund fast development ("open source").
>Users can choose to visit or avoid a website based on their own free will
In many countries, the government demands that the citizens visit a website full of proprietary JavaScript to submit taxes or census information etc, thus visiting a website is not always done out of free will.

@nprofile…ljg7 @nprofile…ytjz How does one own a website? It's not some physical thing that has a physical place.
It's the website host's decision what license to put their JavaScript under and what other JavaScript to use.
The user having freedom is in the visitors interest and if there is proprietary JavaScript, the user is denied such important interest; https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html#four-freedoms
Merely being able to see and read the source code and check the security is only half of freedom 1

@nprofile…ljg7 @nprofile…ytjz Minification doesn't just remove unnecessary white space (which can be done while retaining the formatting mostly by replacing each 1-3 space characters with a single space and by replacing each 4 space characters with a tab) - unnecessary white space compresses very well regardless.
Minification strips off any explanatory comments and changes variable and function names to non-meaningful one or two etc character names (i.e. a-z then aa-zz etc), which is extremely effective at hindering the ability to audit the software.
If you want to minimize the "carbon footprint" or actually CO₂ emissions, you should avoid JavaScript like the plague, as it's dozens, hundreds or thousands of times less power efficient than HTML.

@nprofile…ljg7 >cve.org is popular and safe to use.
You write that, but then I see the following Obfscript;
https://cmp.osano.com/AzyhULTdPkqmy4aDN/46057d56-0263-4cca-abac-9adddada4f3b/osano.js
https://www.cve.org/assets/index-mLL8icbW.js
Those are sufficiently large programs that would be quite trivial to slip proprietary malware in and have such go unnoticed.
Any attacker wouldn't even need to compromise the computer cve.org is running on to attack visitors - they could compromise cmp.osano.com instead.
It seems more JavaScript programs are loaded too, although which ones are not revealed until you run proprietary JavaScript (free and nonfree JavaScript are mixed into the same file), which I refuse to do.
>JavaScript is a web standard that helps ensure compliance with EU safety regulations and accessibility requirements.
JavaScript absolutely destroys accessibility and seems to be primarily used to spy on the user, which doesn't exactly "comply with EU safety regulations".
>It is implemented by 97.69% of web browsers and utilized by 98.3% of all public websites.
97.69% of web browsers have a SEVERE vulnerability and a little less than 98.3% of public websites attack people with proprietary software and spyware huh?
>its presence on the CVE site is standard practice for modern web functionality.
Just because attacking the user is standard practice doesn't mean a website that doesn't function without JavaScript is acceptable.
The only JavaScript your website needs and should have is as follows;
<script>
/* AGPLv3-or-later */
document.body.innerHTML = 'We have detected that you have JavaScript enabled in your browser, please disable it to continue. Please be aware that your browser is severely compromised as it is automatically running malicious JavaScript.'
</script>

It's not a perversion of meaning to point out that a word means what it means even though you come up with some bizarre roudabout explanation why it doesn't.
>Gentoo dev's are not encouraging the use of non-free software
You only write and distribute an ebuild and document it if you want to encourage people to install such software.
If the ebuild developer didn't want to encourage the use of nonfree software, I'm sure they wouldn't have written such ebuild, or at least there would be a comment imploring the user not to use it - but there is no such comments.
>but some people want/require this non-free software thus it's better to host it in a friendlier, more free environment
Such proprietary environment cannot correctly be described as free or friendly - it's rather a less propriety environment than is more convenient.
As soon as you add a single proprietary program, without even a plan to replace it, you put yourself on the road to proprietary hell.

That would NOT be copyright infringement, as names are not creative enough to qualify for copyright.
I believe "Mercedes" is trademarked and doing so would be trademark infringement and possibly counterfeiting, but legally such act would not be regarded as fraud unless it was explicitly stated that you were selling a "Mercedes model x from Mercedes-Benz" at the market price.
The way trademark law works would allow you to legally sell a car called; "Not a Mercedes", although Mercedes-Benz would likely still send a cease-and-deist if they found out.
Now you have been enlightened, please don't continue to spread confusion between copyright, trademark, patent and trade secret laws.
