We hate WinRAR now?
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.
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.
It's pretty old, there's a whole meme around it
