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.

Me too. I presume half of the votes on this comment are upvotes because they only read the first half of it.

Can you please explain how you come to such a conclusion of your second half, OP? Like you saw, we really don’t follow.

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 bug free, and the open source counterpart remains buggy.

AI-generated shit.

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?

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.

1. You heard the name of the software
2. You search on Google, which takes you to their official website
3. You click on the download button and download it
4. Double click on the file and follow the on-screen guide to finished the installation

I think softwares like i3 or dwm are what OP means.

Is there anyone here remember Gentoo and the merge/split /usr period?

Gentoo developers are kind and super helpful that they put out any important notice after you pull upgrades to your system. Run eselect news read to know what the breaking change is going to be, and carefully perform the required actions one by one. It’s a great distro made by great fellas.

I don’t mind there is breaking change at all. I do mind that you don’t tell me about it.

I used to use Gboard for Cantonese input. I downloaded fcitx5 reading your comment and tried it for some time. There are some features noticeably missing compared to Gboard.

• top numeric row
• single-hand mode
• simplified and traditional characters selection#

# Found it. It’s in the settings bar at the top of the typing area. Click it open and go deep inside it.

What Gboard and fcitx5 both don’t have for Jyutping input is glide typing. I wish fcitx5 have it because it is really what could make me switch and not look back. Gboard in general has better finger tap detection/correction because duh Google had more data to train on. But I will definitely start using fcitx5 because being open source is sufficient for me to switch.

For languages that isn’t supported by its plugins like Japanese, I have to keep using Gboard though.

GTK+4 was released? When??

I’ve been compiling GTK+3 3.2x, the latest stable version about ten years ago and always wonder will they ever advance the major version. Years of installing XFCE4 and stuff and I always saw them pulling GTK+3 as a dependency. Never seen GTK+ marked 4 though.

To be fair I haven’t visited their official website for a while though.

What you both said are true. It’s convenient to load a site and perform tasks to a degree what native clients can, and it’s also weird how since more than a decade ago we can’t agree on anything and now we are trying to do everything in a web client.

Wasn’t TGA doing the same thing? Obviously everyone know that the game of the year is… is not Astro Bot.
