They should sell a t-shirt that says “I never paid for WinRAR and all I got was this lousy t-shirt”.
I’d buy one.
Tbh I never found out about 7zip until like when I was 30. And I’m 33 now xd. I used WinRAR for years.
And I will say, 7zip is much better. No offense to WinRAR. I got much respect for WinRAR.
As someone who actually paid for WinRAR, will I get a free bag?
Why did you pay for winrar? Would you still do so today or do you find that free/opensource alternatives are as good or better?
Libre software selling whatever they can is good for maintaining development.
If the Linux kernel ever changed to AGPLv3 I would for sure buy one GNU/Linux stable release each year to make up for corporations that would ban Linux from their network due to AGPL3 legal obligations.
Prob those companies will go back to windows server or freebsd lol.
For the sake of basic security, there should be a lot more corporate adoption of OpenBSD and FreeBSD. Company networks would be a lot more secure than using Linux due to Linux’s schizophrenic nature. Ask a full time BSD sysadmin their view on Linux.
Honest question: to what are you referring by “Linux’s schizophrenic nature”?
I thought I might get questioned on it, no prob Bob. For Linux, both the kernel and the 400 distributions, I say schizophrenic they are all labelled as Linux but they can’t function together. The Arch kernel is different from the Parabola kernel, and the Fedora kernel and the kernel.org generic kernel from the Slackware kernel, The way Pllasma runs on Gentoo has been modified from how Plasma runs on Devuan. Again, they all fall under “Linux” but can function quite different and any 3rd party software has to be modified to be customized for each distribution. If a program in Debian can’t function, SUSE people might not be able solve it if they don’t know the Debian layout. The Linux eco-systems is very fractured, divided, yet all run Linux kernel, they are the same but different because they’re distributions, but run the same system but not compatible with each other, it’s schizophrenic.
In comparison to OpenBSD, it is on group of people that develop the OpenBSD kernel, OpenBSD system files and libraries, with a single point of focus behind their engineering and design, and develop their own software management tools. Similar with FreeBSD, that there is a set team that develop the FreeBSD kernel who have nothing at all to do with OpenBSD kernel. What works on FreeBSD is not going to work on FreeBSD. And the FreeBSD team develops their own FreeBSD system files and libraries with their own FreeBSD design and engineering so that each BSD is their own standalone operating system. A FreeBSD kernel will never function or be recognized by an OpenBSD system. Porting a program to OpenBSD is not going to work in FreeBSD because the whole system is designed differently, that’s why each BSD is an operating system and why BSD does not have distributions. FreeBSD will never be able to read a NetBSD file.
