Do you just want to see the text content of a HTML file? - a text editor

Do you want most, if not all, HTML tags to be rendered as pretty graphical shapes?

Do you want the text have proper fonts?

Styles? You need something to parse CSS files.

What about dynamically generated content like ten smiley faces? You need a JavaScript engine.

Do you also want to see iframes? You need it to be capable of sending XHR requests.

What if it references to a piece of WebAssembly?

It’s way more complicated than you anticipated.

What’s wrong with http://makemkv.com/? I’ve used it for years for lossless backup DVD/BD and no issue.

There are so many posts about made in EU software recently. What happened?

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.

You must reach adulthood to have the right to decide whether you want to live. You most probably can’t if you don’t vaccinate.

Lifelong Android user here. I don’t know where an app saves its files (not to personal folders, but app-private folder) even it’s rooted. I’m glad this protects me from malwares but it also forbids me to put my device in full control.

Windows XP’s error sound wasn’t scary. Windows 95 and 98’s were. That natural alarming chime, combined with the angry faces when our parents find out the non-functioning operating system…

Thank 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?

contributor being geolocated in a US-sanctioned place

Imagine 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 big 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 gimp package, then change the version and run the build process on your local machine?
