/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.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

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

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

When were tar archives not good?

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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

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

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 14 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 6 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours 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?

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.
