So, a long time ago, I tried using 7zip for extracting a zip file or similar. I don't think it was a RAR file at the very least. I noticed that 7zip was slower than WinRAR, which is what I had always used since it was the first I'd heard of a program that could unzip files.

Fast forward a few years, I had some money and bought a WinRAR license, just because I liked the program that much.

Fast forward a few more years, and I use Nanazip on Windows and Ark on KDE/Fedora.

I will always remember the book stack icon for zips/RARs/etc. fondly and just how much faster (again way way back in the day). Multipart RARs were how I got a lot of stuff back in the day, even larger mods!

Anyway, I know it is popular to hate on WinRAR, but for me, it will always be remembered fondly for what it was. :,-)

Enshittification comes for us all. But we really need to be proactive about saving wikipedia, or at least it's data.

[–] nforminvasion@lemmy.world 1 points 1 minute ago

If you have a spare hard drive lying around (rare amidst this storage famine), consider downloading Wikipedia and a few other things you would be interested in. There are multiple ways to do this, but I'll recommend Kiwix.

Literally just for the sake of preserving and archiving information, for a bunch of reasons (fascist retconning, natural disasters, cyber attacks, etc...). You don't even have to seed it or make it available publicly. Use it if you want, or throw the drive into a drawer.

If anyone are unable to do this, absolutely no worries. But to those who can, please do. It helps.

Did WinRar ever try to break a union

[–] Egonallanon@feddit.uk 32 points 2 hours ago

Only into a mutlipart rar file.

People who buy WinRar should consult with psychiatrist about their medication. WinRar is obsolete. We have better open-source alternatives for a decade or even longer.

My work was matching donations at one point and Wikipedia was an option so I donated $50 + $50 of corpo money to Wikipedia at one point. They've never stopped asking me for more
