We hate WinRAR now?
Not hate but we graduate to 7zip.
Isnt the FOSS thingie all the hype around lemmy? Feel like every discussion tends to drift towards FOSS topics (ironic, I know) and if an app with proprietary modules will be hated to hell and back.
Oh, I've somehow never seen anyone express that 7zip is FOSS; I didn't realize that. This should be the first thing anyone points out about it.
I just feel like that people who are still opening RAR files are technically savvy enough to have moved on from WinRAR
Edit: and the people who would still use it aren’t really opening archives anymore so I don’t know who this is affecting. Maybe they have corporate contracts.
It's pretty old, there's a whole meme around it
