      I’m repeating myself here but I hate it when people say “Just use X. It’s better.” and then omit explaining why it’s better. Give us a reason to consider changing or say nothing at all

        Fair enough. 7z offers basically the same functionality as winRar including windows shell extensions (right click -> extract here, etc). It has slightly better compression ratios than WinRAR, and it’s open source. It doesn’t nag you to register.

        It also supports an insane number of file formats. It will extract files from every pretty much every obscure archive you can think of (.ace, .cab) and all kinds of file types you wouldn’t expect like self-extracting executables, isos, .msi installers, vmdks, and more.

          Sounds cool. I’m still just using the unzipper that’s built in windows explorer. I don’t see why it’s inadequate.

    Don’t be like my friend and unzip large archives to the desktop.

    He couldn’t use his desktop.

        My private PC: a shell script for altering xmodmap more to my liking. Nothing else.

        Work PC: endless excel files, text files with notes, a bunch of schematics in pdf format, new folder, new folder (1), aoeu.txt, misc shortcuts, a folder full of stuff I probably don’t need anymore but shouldn’t delete, a couple of work related pictures, a myriad ofbhalf-finished reports, a 4gig dd dump that I honestly don’t remember making, only that it was important for later for… something. Sometimes i take everything and stick it into a subfolder with a date as the name, in an attempt at cleaning up the desktop while keeping things that might still be important. I have five of these folders on the desktop. I ought to make a sixth.

    I love how it looks like the bus is crowd surfing. Given some of the photos I’ve seen taken in East Asia, I wouldn’t be surprised if one of those existed. And was possibly faster than the actual buses.

    This meme reminds me of the one time I accidentally extracted the entirety of Minecraft onto my desktop and basically broke my pc lol.
