FUCK WINRAR!
it's so stupid and amazing this recent celebration of people that are proud to have paid for it.
It was never a good solution really..
It just worked for what it was for a time... Because it was better than WinZip or pkzip.
7-zip has been amazing for years..
Better OS support would be cool too but it's so unnecessary thanks to 7zip.
WinRAR was great for the time and their policies on paying for the program were extremely generous. Time just overtook it.
It was never great.
Their "generous" pay if you want to remove this obnoxious message prompt aside...
It was temporarily useful until better alternatives arose... Which took virtually no time.
This revisionist history is so wild I can only assume you are 16 years old and freshly playing on your first computer that you dont need to share
Lol... You people and your condescension is what's fucking wild.
As if only a child could disagree with your stupid fucking opinions.
Get over yourself.
Only a child wouldnt have lived through the history, and so doesnt know it.
You're a fucking idiot.
People have different opinions.
I am 50 fucking years old and I'd be really surprised if you're older considering the immature shit you're spouting at me.
This is just an inaccurate timeline of events, not a difference of opinion.
Im very sorry to hear you spent 40 years of your life in a coma, but Im glad youre up and walking now.
