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...

Sometimes part of the content can be seen in the search result page, as the crawler got the content. But when you click inside, you're blocked by the membership wall. Irony?

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?

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.

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.

Why would a for-profit company spend three millions to develop the desktop application, then a million per month to maintain it, in order to lose your personal data therefore making less money?

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?
