4 days agoThank you. Would you mind explaining what this means please? What is a U.S.-sanctioned place? Why does the U.S. government think this is a bad thing?

8·7 days agoImagine a contributor of the project. He would have been fixing the bug for free and give the work to the public project. Right before he submits the code change, he sees an ad from a big tech bro: “Hiring. Whoever can fix this bug gets this job and a sweet bonus.” He hesitated and worked for the company instead.
Now that he is the employee of the company. He can’t submit the same bug fix to the open source project because it is now company property. The company’s product is bug free, and the open source counterpart remains buggy.

Ceep up the good work oops.
The official website?
It’s a skill which not many have.
I think this is why OP got 21 downvotes. It is unreasonable to demand something fast, free, and good. You are going to get flatpak if you want it fast and free.
How about compiling from source? Or look into how Debian/Ubuntu/Mint build the
gimppackage, then change the version and run the build process on your local machine?
No. Feel free to download shit and even attempt to run shit. Chances are they won’t run because shits are compiled against glibc and my system is not.
I think you were being biased.
- You heard the name of the software
- You search on Google, which takes you to their official website
- You click on the download button and download it
- Double click on the file and follow the on-screen guide to finished the installation
What you described as the weakness, is actually what is strong of an open source system. If you compile a binary for a certain system, say Debian 10, and distribute the binary to someone who is also running a Debian 10 system, it is going to work flawlessly, and without overhead because the target system could get the dependency on their own.
The lack of ability to run a binary which is for a different system, say Alpine, is as bad as those situations when you say you can’t run a Windows 10 binary on Windows 98. Alpine to Debian, is on the same level of that 10 to 98, they are practically different systems, only marked behind the same flag.
