WinRAR announced the release of version 7.23 on X, thanking customers with a tongue in cheek message about actually getting payments.

      Unlike 7-Zip, which is actually free and also open-source as well

      7-Zip is by far the best archiving software on Windows

        Didn’t Microsoft get in trouble for trying to steal 7zip code without credit or something?

        Well, but I’m used to WinRAR and never had any issues. Only need it once every few months. And it’s pretty fun when the software tries to tell me that it isn’t a free software. What a silly thing to say!

          I didn’t say I use Windows. I only said that 7-Zip is the best archiving software available for it.

        Free as in free beer, not as in freedom.

          When refering to software free usually means free as in freedom
