Did WinRar ever try to break a union
Kinda pointless to unionize when it’s run by two brothers and there are, as far as I know, no other employees.
Wikimedia Foundation has 650 enployees as of 2025.
One chance to guess where I got this from
GPT?
Honestly didn’t stop me from donating, ultimately no one was fired and while it does sound scummy I have yet to see an alternative to Wikipedia that isn’t run by grifters or looneys.
ultimately no one was fired
Except for Brooke Vibber and other union organizers.
People who buy WinRar should consult with psychiatrist about their medication. WinRar is obsolete. We have better open-source alternatives for a decade or even longer.
What you recommend?
7 Zip
I’m gonna go against the grain here and recommend 7-zip
7zip
Seven-Zip
7zip
7 ziP
7ziiiiip
7ZIP
7 Zip is good
7zip
7Zip
7-Zip
Sept-Zip /French
xzcomes standard with every Linux distribution, and it implements the same 7zip compression algorithm but with more options.7zip is good but the UI is shit.
Hot take: 7Zip
zip zip zip zip zip zip zip
this may be unpopular but I suggest 7-zip
Winzip
There’s also the more modern and powerful zstd. Better than 7zip/xz and far more flexible.
8zip is better because it’s one more.
7zip? Or is there a new one for me to check out.
Ark is good too

I donated to wikipedia once and they went after me every year like I had fed an hungry dog.
No, I doesn’t got more cookies boy!
I donate to them regularly, or at least I did until I found out they were going to spend my donation on union busting.
Yeah, this is why I stopped donating to them
I donated to them for a few years, $20 a year, so not much. And then one year they sent me an email that was very clearly meant to guilt trip me into thinking I wasn’t donating enough to the platform. So I cancelled the contribution instead.
Marketing people really love the smell of their own farts. They all feel like they are the smartest people ever.
I bet the person who typed up that email was thinking “hell yeah, I fucking got those suckers right where I want em.”
Donated to wiki. They proceeded to spam my inbox every other day begging for more.
My good sir, I donated five dollars to Wikipedia
A place I use to work purchased over 1000 licenses, no corporate discount, retail prices over 5 years.
Stupid dev refusing to use anything but winrar, stupid manager not contacting a reseller for a discount.I’ve done both. No need to grovel, but you can call me “your excellence”
You think somebody bought Winrar?
What kind of monster would break the honor system?
Probably the same that misspelt honour.
This meme is just beggin for a lower decks redo.
My work was matching donations at one point and Wikipedia was an option so I donated $50 + $50 of corpo money to Wikipedia at one point. They’ve never stopped asking me for more
I bought a copy to give back for decades of pirating everything.
People still use winrar?
7zip ftw!
No but we are still happy to remind people we paid to support it.
I actually donated 5 five dollars (or at least the equivalent on local currency) and even paid for the bank taxes (about 25 cents of dollar)
I think this was my favorite scene in Barry Lyndon.
