Some of my coworkers were talking about using RSS to read blogs, which made some of the younger folks in our team ask what it is and why we keep using it.

Some still use iPods to avoid subscriptions and streaming services, my favorite was one of our sysadmins who showed me Gopher.

I’m curious about others though, thanks!

        I use it because it usually costs money but somehow it’s been working free for me for decades!

          There’s still 7zip or Peazip that does the same thing, but they are properly free (open source). Check them out.

              Well, I know people that still uses winrar (and total commander) trial for decades. So it might be /s for you, but not for others. Sadly.

        winrar? just works.

        it’s never failed, so I’ve never used an alternative.

            i only paid once, and not until a decade after i started using it, but i did at dinner point paid the whatever it was, although now i just use the free version again and the purchased version (which is identical) is long lost.
