/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Really? I thought most people moved to 7-Zip.

[–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I keep it around and run it in Wine under Linux because I've encountered RAR files that other archivers can't open every so often.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have never had a rar archive that 7zip can't open

[–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 6 points 2 months ago

I have, I guess they may have been malformed or corrupted or something, but WinRAR didn't care.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Rar for Linux is something that exists, is free of charge, has no trial pop-up, and is basically the same thing that one runs for you. Also, 7-Zip can run it for you if you want to use a GUI.

But you need to install it.

7-Zip is a stupid name and I refuse to use it even if it's better than WinRAR. Not like I ever open the interfaces anymore. I just right click and "extract here" so I don't even know what to compare.

One is open source and doesn't steal your data. The other may or may not, who knows?

[–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Kind of a weird thing to dislike a piece of software just because of its name and not its functionality.

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

Probably, yeah.

It’s in their best interest not to. It’s difficult to compete for mind share if your file format doesn’t get into people’s hands somehow.

I bought a winrar license for my friend as a 2023 birthday gift.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I bought it for myself.

[–] data1701d@startrek.website 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I never get why people use RAR anymore when tar archives are good now.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

When were tar archives not good?

[–] data1701d@startrek.website 1 points 2 months ago

I probably shouldn’t have thrown in the word “now”; what I meant to say is FOSS formats are so good that the existence of RAR is ridiculous.
