>>Tixati

there's literally no other non-shit bittorrent client
give me one and i'll refute it
inb4
qbittorrent
>dependencies on the HORRIBLE qt library, whereas tixati is NATIVE on windows / linux
deluge
>HAHAHAH PYTHON
utorrent / bittorrent
>NSA shills gtfo
rtorrent
>I love using command line to make me look like s1ck hxxx0r
rutorrent
>I go into a web browser to do things other than web browsing

any others?

i should clarify, i know qt is native, but it's a horrible library that makes for painfully large binaries

Gimp
Open vm
Libre torrent
Vim
Open office.
Thunderbird mail

Sublime text is dead

>tixati

Transmission is superior in every way.

use vim, or ed. sublime is a dead project and has a shitty plugin lib

Never

you must be 18 or older to use this website. please leave.

All of them, no FOSS was or ever will be as good as proprietary.

>Gimp
a literal joke. nobody serious uses this. not a single professional designer uses it. It is a JOKE.

>Open vm
The fuck?

>Libre torrent
>java

>Vim
Meme

>Open office
Once again, nobody serious outside FOSS circles use it

>Thunderbird mail
Not even an example. That's a client not a mailserver.

I should have also added active directory, which FOSS land has nothing even remotely comparable to.

>vim is a meme
>uses sublime text
enjoy doing everything manually

...

>adobe photoshop
I'd agree even tho Pixelmator is better
>VMware workstation
kvm/qemu is better
>tixati
kek. transmission, deluge and rtorrent are better
>sublime
acme, sam, ed.
>office
troff, latex, luckless sent
>microsoft exchange
a product so useless it doesn't need an alternative

>complaining about Java and python
Woah, watch out, we got a badass "programmer" on board!

>doing everything manually
Don't FOSS cultist Line-x users pride themselves in doing that?

suckless* sent, silly autocorrect.

>Tixati
Take your furry shit to /trash/, you literal fucking autistic neckbeard

But i like tixati

Transmission

Yeah, people jerk of to horses too

IDA Pro.

>try-hard autist is a phoneposter
Why am I not surprised

>Tixati
Take your meds, autist

Why is tixati somehow related to mlp
Why have i not been informed of this meme

I'm not phone posting.

...

none of us do things manually. we write scripts to do it for us.
if you're talking about setting up the os, sorry you couldn't install ubuntu without your mom to help

>WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE ELSE CARRY A USED THINKPAD WITH GENTOO AT ALL TIMES? IT'S NOT FAIR! FOSS IS MEANT TO BE THE FUTURE!

Lead dev is a furry

>Microsoft Exchange
>Better than a Postfix stack
Thanks for the laugh, mate. Exchange is a fucking pile of shit and pretty much anyone that has to manage it universally hates it. They just also can't into Linux so it's what they have to settle for if they don't want to migrate to the cloud. Postfix is a million times more stable and uses a tenth of the resources as Exchange while being even more performant.

not really
e.g. to compile and run a .c file by pressing ctrl+b you just need to make a standard .sublime-build file with "cmd" : ["xterm", "-hold", "-e"] and the rest of the compile & run command
Same applies to other languages whose .sublime-build files you can edit with PackageResourceViewer

Why would I write scripts to do things for me when I can use a grown ups OS like OSX and have everything work out of the box?
Silly Line-x children.

>Even Furries make better software than FOSS fags
It's funny how you try to insult others without realising you are only insulting yourselves.

>iPad posting
even worse

>Sublime Text
You do realise it's dead, right?

>have anything work out of the box
i fell for the install gentoo meme and gave up the post

Anything that involves UI shits on most FOSS software.

>Postfix stack
let's see where in that stack you can bulk administer users, set retention policies, use AD groups to populate details

yeah didn't think so. even MIT use Microsoft Exchange. Admins don't hate it at all. It was a pain to administer before 2013. Everyone is moving to office365 because licencing is cheaper

Why the fuck would that matter to me?

I'm not going to transfer 300 torrents to another client because the dev is a faggot

Tixati never tempted me, Transmission works fine, so does Qbittorrent and Deluge. What kind of mental gymnastics are you playing over snake oil torrent clients?

ncmpcpp+mpd
weechat

I've never touched Line-x because I only use real operating systems that aren't for fat, neckbearded "libertarians" who eat their own foot cheese.

ricer gtfo

Well, that's a good reason for not changing your torrent client, which is fine. Sadly, OP doesn't think that way

funny how creative geniuses are the most fucked up people

All games.
paint.net
nvidia graphics drivers
foobar2k
vmware

>iMac posting
hmmmm
>foobar
software so useless requires no alternative. for media playing one can simply use plain ol ffplay.
>mirc on windows
irssi/sic are cross platform
its living

good, we don't want any more retards
linux just werks nowadays though, you're just retarded

>eckbearded "libertarians" who eat their own foot cheese.
stallman isn't even a libertarian. A libertarian would like more permissive licencing like the BSD licence.

Make no mistake, Stallman and GNU are fucking commies who demand everyone give their shit up and work for other people

>creative
kek

Sublime kek will soon join the graveyard with Acme

FPBP
Pony fuckers BTFO

Not him, but GNU preserves consumers' rights to the source.

SOLIDWORKS

Is this really true?

sublimetext.com/sales_faq
>Licenses purchased for Sublime Text 3 do not expire, however an upgrade fee will be required for Sublime Text 4.

I really want to buy a licence, but there's no point if SL4 comes out

>we don't want any more retards
The punchline being that the Line-x community is full of mentally ill, like Terry and especially pedophiles.

acme reached perfection already.
thats like saying ed or sam are dead.
no, they just can't improve further.

>terry
>linux
die

>SL4
even ST3 is in beta, since like a decade

>GNU preserves consumers' rights to the source
The GPLs demands are stupid

If we didn't have the BSD licence, we wouldn't have the PS4 as we know it.

The BSD licences say "anyone can use my code, and if you want to use it privately thats OK"

The GPL says "here's my code, you must never keep it private, you must always give back to me"

that's fucking commie shit lad

>thats like saying ed or sam are dead.
Yeah, true

Good thing there are FOSS editors like vim

>Microsoft Office
Maybe in 2003, dumbass.

literally uses Line-x during his streams

Deluge is superior

vscode >>> sublime text

>>Microsoft Office
closed proprietary document formats are the cancer of sw

IDK, I am not interested in politics. However, I can see both viewpoints.

All I can say is, GNU ushers information/knowledge exchange while BSD license leaves a hole to prevent technological progress and lock it down to corporate vendors

>his entire argument for how good or bad a thing is depends on a video game console that is a bloodborne box.

You must be 18 or older to post here.

doesn't it use opendocument since 2007

have fun developing an os on windows, retard. does windows even have an emulator with a debugger, or a decent assembler?

Clearly, he's not a developer

I make a major improvement upon something that's "free and open source" and I owe you anything?

>closed proprietary document formats

>being fucking retarded

This is incorrect, you're not obliged to make all GPL code publicly available, the only requirement is that those to whom it's distributed are to have access to the source code.

If the PS4 had never been released, every bit of its OS could be under the GPL and Sony would be under no obligation to tell anyone about it.

Also,
>we wouldn't have the PS4 as we know it.
Go back to Sup Forums

have you watched terry's old streams? he made an entire os. he's the smartest programmer that's ever lived

>Adobe Photoshop
I prefer gimp but I understand some workflows may be easier on photoshop for the casual user
>VMware Workstation
in your dreams, I wish I never even got all my vmware certs. Performance or feature wise, oh boy does it lack
>Tixati
now I know you're joking
>Sublime Text
implying kiddies next notepad++ is better than emacs or even vim
>Microsoft Office
yeah bloated file sizes and shitty formatting options really reck latex. Even libreoffice file sizes are like a fraction the size of MS's yet featurewise comparable
>Microsoft Exchange
aka you've used it but never fucking administered one. Exchange is a nightmare to deal with an MS is never going to fix that so they can keep pushing office365 bullshit

>>Adobe Photoshop
Nope. GIMP and Krita are better.
>>VMware Workstation
This is x86 only horse shit. QEMU is the best.
>>Tixati
Transmission is better.
>>Sublime Text
I agree with this.
>>Microsoft Office
WPS Office is better but still proprietary. MS Office is pleb shit.
>>Microsoft Exchange
No. Just no.

i wish word actually used that properly

You're diverting the topic from the fact that only tinfoil hat loons, like Terry are on Line-x for any reason.

You owe it to fellow people. Most scientific discovery/inventions follow GPL at heart. Of course, there are some proprietary technologies but they don't do any good to the world as much

I was talking about OP. However I do not agree that he's the smartest programmer ever to exist.

making something yourself and calling it a standard isn't how it works


it's like calling your dad's cock the standard of fucking your mom, meanwhile he doesn't know she's getting blacked on

well obviously terry can't use windows because the cia niggers will get him

"Photoshop" is an ancient African word for "I am too stupid to use GIMP"

>makes improvement to work someone else made and begrudges having to provide the source code or attribute the origin of the work he made

I don't owe you or anyone else shit for free.
It's my work, you commie.

What MS Office does is that it implements some proprietary design tools over the documents. Note that the documents that does not have fancy styles work fine across all platforms

he did say sublime text though?

>Sublime Text
You realize it isn't even one of the good proprietary text editors, right?
If you don't want some garbage catering "devs" but an actual text editor that opens gigabytes of text file without sweat UltraEdit, 101Edit, EEdit and probably some more are much better...
Also
>MS Office
>obliterating LO
Nice one, it is minimally better in some regards but totally abysmal in others.
>Tixati
I don't know what your damage is.


To contribute, there is still no GTK-based paint program that works satisfactory. But then again, it is GNOME I'm talking about.

Imagine if Newton said "I don't owe calculus, it's my work commie".
Of course, dumb rednecks like you don't understand this does not work, because sooner or later, someone would invent the exact same thing and share it world wide. That someone would be Leibniz

OP has shit taste in software. Wow, never seen that before here on Sup Forums.

OP has been getting BTFO since post #1

>let's see where in that stack you can...
You can do literally anything with Posftix if you know how to script properly. For example, you can configure it to store mail in a SQL database, at which point it's trivial to set policies base on AD security groups with a cronjob. Same with filtering incoming and outgoing mail.

>even MIT use Microsoft Exchange
Nice appeal to authority.

Sublimetext is the most pleb tier "programming" text editor.

>To contribute, there is still no GTK-based paint program that works satisfactory.
If you're looking for a basic desktop paint program to draw meme frogs then you might like Pinta.
