Jannies are gonna janny. When resetera was sold off and the jannies still decided to work for free you know that they get paid in power. Same with the reddit jannies and the api fiasco last summer.

I would be fine with it if my job was just that review stuff.

But man when you are in the middle of something and you have to review something because they need it soon… It’s annoying as fuck.

jol ,

Reviewing code is part of your job. But you also deserve uninterrupted focus time. Just block focus time blocks in your calendar and check if your peers need reviees 2-3 times a day.

Software pirates still love it for some reason. You'd think they'd use non-proprietary archival programs.

And donate a ton of money

GregorGizeh ,

I’d buy winrar just because it has served me very well and all for free, for at least a decade even if I use mostly 7zip now. They earned that license fee

Pantherina ,

Better donate to 7zip lol

GregorGizeh ,

If I win the lottery they both get some.

or unzip your files just the normal way? why do you need a program?

Does “the normal way” support anything other that zip and rar?

well I’ve never encountered anything like that so…

AndrasKrigare ,

If you don’t want to spend as much time waiting for things to uncompress. Or if you want your compressed files to be smaller (and also compress faster).

funkless_eck ,

on windows I use peazip because I can right click context menu > extract to smart new folder - does 7zip do that? if so I’d switch back

adamantris ,
@adamantris@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Depending on what you mean with “smart”, when I used Windows 7zip also offered to extract into a new folder through a context menu

IndefiniteBen ,

In this context (IIRC) smart means “if this zip contains a single folder with contents, directly extract that folder, but if the zip contains files and/or folders, extract all that to a new folder named the same as the zip file”.

Some people zip folders while some people zip the files in a folder. Smart extraction just handles both automatically.

towerful ,

I dont know what a smart folder is.
But you can extract to ./[archive name]

stufkes ,

7zip doesn’t work well with win11. Read somewhere that the developer refuses to do something about it, but no idea. Went with nanazip, which is derived from 7zip

BCsven ,

Seems to. MB3 and you have Extract which does a folder name and places them in that, or Extract Here which puts all the files in your current directory

JCreazy , to memes in Winning the lottery

Once I found 7zip, WinRAR was obsolete. Lately though I’ve just been using the built in extractor in Linux because it works just fine.

Pantherina ,

Every linux archive manager is better than windows crap.

  • mark multiple zips and extract, they all extract. Windows doesnt do that, it extracts one
  • fuck “open in new window” windows that is horrible UI and only works well on tiling window managers lol
  • allows to use ANY archive format
  • allows to extract and delete in one go, the most commonly used action
turbowafflz ,

It really is amazing that even the worst linux ones are better than like everything on windows. I find fileroller so much more annoying than Ark, but if someone ported fileroller to windows it would probably be the best thing available by a huge margin

Pantherina ,

Okay I wanted to mention that there was pretty much no explorer alternative. But there is QTTabbar and Clover are a thing, and there are tons of other tools.

I think just nothing “looking like an improvement over explorer” on alternativeto.net

Overall, I dont know, Windows 10 was so ugly?? All those rectangles, the white theme, just ugly?

mugthol ,

I mean, shit on windows all you want, but there is a daek theme too

Sotuanduso ,

Windows Explorer can now open other types of archive, but it’s really slow about extracting at least some of them compared to 7zip.

MystikIncarnate , to memes in Winning the lottery

I’d probably try to keep a lottery win quiet. I don’t want relatives I don’t like crawling out of the woodwork clamoring for my money.

I mean, I wouldn’t give them any regardless, but I just don’t want that hassle.

SuperSpruce ,

If I won the lottery, someone would notice something seriously wrong when they see someone who was previously poor buying brand new motorcycles, a sports car, a house, and donating a crazy amount of money to open source.

Crashumbc ,

Only if you continued to live in the same place.

I would lay down a good false trail. For the 6 months it’d take me to quietly setup trusts and discreetly get the money. I’d be telling everyone and convincing them I’d gone full on prepper and was moving to Montana and prepper compound there. My “new” car would be from the 70’s so it’d work after the EMP blasts. Stuff like that.

One day I’m gone and they’d be like that crazy guy did it…

MystikIncarnate ,

For me, I’d be paying off the mortgage and buying new IT gear for my home, and setting myself up with passive income so I don’t need a job anymore.

If it was enough of a win, I may buy a new property and rebuild my house on it… Making a few small additions and renovations along the way. Stuff we already want to do, but don’t have the money for… The only big benefit would be that the house would be built on quite a bit more land than my current home. The lack of land was one of the things I wanted that I had to give up because of the other requirements we had, so being able to get what we have (which we need) and a bit more land would be perfect. Sell this old house and move into the new one.

Beyond that, any money I have left over would probably be spent to pay off friends debts and mortgages… One friend is still renting. He’s in a great place and his current rent is well below the average for his area, but the land owner is an older lady, and I would want to ensure he has the same security for a place to live as I have. I’d probably try to buy the place from the lady at market cost, and she can stay renting there as long as she likes, at very low rent, just as she has afforded to my friend for all this time.

When she decides to depart, instead of renting the place again, I’d renovate it, and gift the whole house to my friend. He would go from occupying a small basement apartment to owning the whole house. From there he can either take over the whole home, or rent out the upstairs and keep things as they are. It’s up to him.

I have a few other ideas but I haven’t even played the lottery in a long while.

Nope

A volleyball, like others have said. Wilson is a basketball manufacturer. Just got your wires a bit crossed.

Yeah probably, netball and volleyball are both girls’ games

Wilson manufactures many types of sports balls, including basketball, volleyball, tennis, and golf. The one in Castaway was a volleyball.
