Factorio
I like Paint.NET. It’s easy to use for simple image edits.
KiCAD for 10 years now. Leaps and bounds better than then!
Steam 15 years or so
VLC since windows XP
Firefox since then also
Arduino for quick things for 12 years about
Discord since 2016 (and now looking to change)
VLC maybe 20 years. How long has it even been around?
GIMP 10+ years for sure.
Plex+Sonarr+Radarr. Netflix raising subscription rates again? Yarrr, not my concern. Studios locking away their content behind exclusivity agreements? Yarrr. “This program is not available in your country”? YARRR!
Yup. Got my lifetime PlexPass on sale like a decade ago, and it has easily paid for itself a hundred times over. I also run Jellyfin because I prefer the UI, but the security vulnerabilities (and lack of a native TV app on my mother-in-law’s TV) mean it isn’t really suitable for external access. So it’s Plex for the friends and family, and Jellyfin for me. Luckily, they both happily run side-by-side.
WinAMP
mIRC (or for you guys, any IRC client). Not as vibrent as in the old days and some missing functions in comparison to modern clients such as Discord and many more.
Age of Empires 1 is old enough, but does one “use” it?
It’s got a unique co-op feature where you actally control the same people and can divide tasks (not like other RTS where you can play in a team but still need to do everything yourself, with any resource sharing being a manual (or even taxed) action in a menu somewhere), so my gf and I are sticking with this game. I think it’s the only game we’ve been playing consistently for our 10 years together. Crap, did I say playing? I meant using! It’s a relationship tool. Try it today! xD
I think StarCraft has Archon mode that functions the same way. Another tool in the toolbox.
KDE.
It’s the only one I have used more than 10 years and loved the entire time. Everything else has been replaced, not loved or not used for 10 years.
Linux, vim, zfs
Is it stupid to say Linux
No it isn’t.
arch btw
Got 'em (☞゚ヮ゚)☞
Vi/Vim. Is it intuitive? No. Is it user friendly? Heck no! What it is is everywhere. $20 Chinese travel routers? Yup. Wireless access points? It’s there. If it has a shell you can log into, it almost certainly has it.
Is it user friendly?
Isn’t vi designed to be navigate with a keyboard that looked like this? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a0/KB_Terminal_ADM3A.svg
Arrow keys were on HJKL.
vi is bloat. What’s wrong with using cat and echo?
vi is bloat. Back in my day we used ed. And we were happy with it.
You’re thinking like a developer. “I can just add or remove this or that.” I have to think like an IT guy. I’m working on dozens or hundreds of machines that are not mine and that I can’t change. So I need to get comfy with the tools that are most likely to be there by default.
It’s a joke. I’m also an IT guy, so I’m comfortable with vi.
Although I use nano at home so I don’t have to think.Ah ok. whoosh I guess. I’m used to hearing “just write the drivers yourself” and the like.
Cat and echo are bloat. What’s wrong with programming the microchips each time you want to change a byte?
I just use nano, but I’m not a developer or anything
termux
Linux.
Skyrim, firefox, blender, libre office, heroes of might and magic 3
