      WinRAR got me through some hard times. She might be filthy, but she did the job

        She’s proprietary nagware, and 7-Zip is better in every way.

          Say truthfully, when you was 7 y.o kid, did you used fully open sourced OS then? I think everyone used winrar when they were kids/teenagers (before learning about foss)

            I used winrar until I found out about 7 zip around 2003-4ish, but I still used 7z on windows back then tbf. Just using 7z and VLC on windows simply because they’re better doesn’t mean you have to be Stallman.

                …shit honestly I used winsomething until 7z, but you got me I can’t remember if it was -zip or -rar, damn similar names +20yr!

                But in either case, “the rest.”

                    Guess I used winrar back then, 'cause no.

                    Hol’ up is that a music player? Definitely no. For video it was VLC pretty early, WMP before that because it was preinstalled but the second it didn’t play something and the advice searching gave was “vlc will play the file” I never went back. I don’t remember what I used as a media player tbh, foobar for a while for sure but it was definitely something before that. Hmm, what the hell did I use?
