Superior to VLC? You shut your mouth when you're talking to me!
Bumchi
Foobar? That's German right?
MandaloreTheODST
Man I lover OBS but God does it take some getting used to.
PhillipJFrenchFry
Protip: use https://ninite.com/ to get all of these (except a few) and keep them up to date.

No love for MPV, Puush and MusicBee? BLASPHEMY! MusicBee is next gen WinAMP!

Add Blender for 3D imaging
YourMumsMassiveRubberFist
Use ninite.com to download these safely with no malware ????
LeSethX
Logged in just to upvote this. I tell clients about Ninite.com and the lack of toolbars/boatware often.
JonnyTHM
My torrent client of choice is transmission.

No VLC, Notepad++, advOR(slow ass proxy but no install needed) or VirtualBox?? What kind of cut rate list is this I want my money back!
Danielv1234
VLC and N++ are both epic. VLC is hands down the best media player out there.
WhotheFuckAretheArcticMonkeyss
VLC FTW! One of the only freeware I've been using for more than 15 years without any deception
scrotumflee
Free as in it costs nothing. Not free as in freedom
truk77
gimp at least is free as in speech. As are a few others on that list.
znom
uh...no, you're wrong on a few counts there
SatansAssWater
Audacity is an amazing tool for bass boosting :)
Doggoarchivar
i made my own beats with it back when i was 13 xD
Elite4W
OBS is popular for streaming butit's a hidden gem in the recording department imo once you get the right settings.
PigeonFace
When this comes up I always have to say: FireAlpaca is better for some people than gimp, studio one 2 free is free, for music sequencing
dragonherder
FireAlpaca really depends on use case tbh. Photo editing you want gimp, but firealphaca is better for drawing. Though if you are more
dragonherder
Serious about drawing, getting Opencanvas proper or even sai is a better option than firealpaca. Even for some drawing elements gimp can be
dragonherder
better in some regards. Though i don't know if firealpaca support wacom tablets (gimp had trouble with them in the past and haven't tried
dragonherder
more recently) and don't know if firealpaca falls to same issues or not being free and all.

I'm still looking for a free decent video editor.
GenericImgurianDragon
I can vouch for f.lux. Shit's awesome.
privatemoo
Thank you for not including VLC. It's garbage.
MinedPhreak
How is it garbage?
Superkroot
Why is VLC garbage? Genuinely curious here.
EricLau
Its codec support is average at best. It also does not handle UHD well at all. It's gotten better, but there's still tons of needed work.
EricLau
I wouldn't call it complete garbage, but it receives a lot more praise than it deserves IMO.
kjusielvi
It's ok for casual movie watching.
MatureMotherFuckersOnly
Check out virtualbox.
ivdok
Also, QEMU and KVM.
RevonsRutabaga
I prefer Krita over Gimp.
dragonherder
Krita is more comparable to Sai or opencanvas vs gimp though. Gimp is an image manipulator/editor much like photoshop is where the others
dragonherder
are better for painting and drawing.
HyrulianShield
The crime lab I interned at used GMP because they didn't have the funding for all the licensing required for Photoshop for everyone.
TimeFoDat
MS Office is something I just can't recommend going free. The real deal is so ubiquitous and has so much support ... just fucking buy it.
TimeFoDat
You can get away with Word alternatives probably but it's super annoying using Excel alternatives when you wanna do complicated stuff.
tablecat
No, it really depends on what you're doing. I'm doing absolutely fine with GDrive, but I can see why some people would need teh full package
TimeFoDat
Anything for work or school I just don't see the point of using an excel alternative unless it all but steals the formulas/interface.
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
.doc sucks, and they hardly support .odf. ms can suck a dick.
sofasamuria
I would add discord to the list as the best chat server. Superior to Skype
SaltySouffle
And TeamSpeak
DrakenMusic
Discord is better than TS
ProphetTenebrae
I thought uTorrent had been generally abandoned because it became ad-infested bloatware?
alexthecuteangel
noobies use it use Deludge
anthaneezy
That's why they linked a good version.
FuzzyX
I much prefer the Flud BT client on Android.

TemetNosce000
Haven't updated and not going to
Lestrange212
That and they were harvesting bitcoin. ????
JonnyTHM
I have always used transmission since it's the default bundled with a bunch of linux distros.
ivdok
For a reason. Deluge sucks ass.
TangoIndiaTangoSierra
I rarely use torrents since my torrent sites were taken
Eldiablo17
Use newsgroups instead.
mybrothersmario
Oznzbd ftw! Though they're not free any more.
shorgen
kickass.cd is up for now. it's pretty good
TangoIndiaTangoSierra
Thanks!
JackScagnetti1
Dont use public torrent sites thats how u get virus or letters in mail. Use private or newsgroup
TheFineBros
What's newsgroup?
JackScagnetti1
http://www.htpcbeginner.com/what-is-usenet/amp/ its not free
JackScagnetti1
www.htpcbeginner.com/what-is-usenet/amp/ its not free
ngauthier
yes. Use deluge. It's open source!
StrangeUncleFromAbroad
It is, but is bad. Sluggish on both Win and Linux. qBitTorrent is really a better option + it has implemented search engine
ivdok
Aw hell no. It barely even scratches 4mbps out of my 100mbps connection.
jazzy663
I think Deluge is a better torrent client though.
ivdok
It's really slow-ass, both in terms of bandwith, and performance.
Hentaimannen
Open-source and blocklist support really sold me on Deluge.
Lierofox
Too bad fewer and fewer protocols are working with Pidgin these days. (Not their fault.) MSN and YIM are now both broken.
tablecat
Yeah, it was a little more relevant made i made this list
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
those were the days when i could use it for facebook messenger ...
Schmuck4hire
F.lux has been a saving grace, for me.
HiImChrisWilsonFromGrindingGearGames
same here, i never wake up in the morning any more with red eyes after downloading F.lux!
TastyTastyScience
It's supposed to make it easier to fall asleep. The thing is, if I'm using my computer at night then I don't want to fall asleep.
ArcturusNorth
I've been using it since college. Eye saver.
firebellys
Microsoft is working on implementing it in Windows 10 right now.
Woodmn
Prepare for a butchering!
wason
And it costs five hundred dollars per month.
niggasbleed
Legit makes me sick when its on. Just doesnt agree with my eyes
DrakenMusic
I really wish they had it for mobile, Cuz there are only bad alternatives for phones out there :(
ieaturfood
It exists for iOS and Android, but your device has to be jailbroken/rooted for it to work.
Bumchi
Actually, night shift mode in the display tab on iOS 10
ieaturfood
Nightshift mode is only for 64 bit devices. For those who have A7 devices or older, they'd have to jailbreak.
Bumchi
Ok thanks
silvertail
On Android: the Twilight app, yo.
DrakenMusic
Well but imo the Twilight app looks bad. The best ok looking alternative I found was "Bluelight Filter", it has a black filter, unnoticable
StrangeUncleFromAbroad
I'm running AOSP based ROM on my device - temperature correction is implemented as LiveDisplay. Works like a charm.
HerInfernalMajesty
Can confirm, it's a life saver
ats1995
Although Android 6.0 should have something built in, I use Twilight on my LG. I recommend it.
StrangeUncleFromAbroad
I have LiveDisplay since 5.0, but I'm running AOSP/Cyanogen. I thought it was a default option since 5.0?
ats1995
Sound reasonable. Damn OEMs don't implement default features. WHERE IS MY DPI SETTING LG?!?!?!
PeterNormal
I only found OBS like a week ago. Fraps is dead to me, DEAD.
Corrosion
What recording settings are you using? I've got awful bitrate on mine...
PeterNormal
with both OBS and Fraps, you have to transcode. All I am doing is recording a game window, I get 1776kbps after transcode to mp4
TheDizzyToast
OBS is really good, i use it too.
JustASlightJingleOfPocketChangePulsing
Been using irfanview since my Pentium 133MMX running win95. It has never let me down.
JustASlightJingleOfPocketChangePulsing
Wait, fuck it was a 166MHz, not 133.
Skadoodlle
It started doing weird stuff with gifs and I (reluctantly) stopped using it. I wonder if they fixed that.
JustASlightJingleOfPocketChangePulsing
Shat was it doing?
Skadoodlle
Playing some gifs super fast.
JustASlightJingleOfPocketChangePulsing
Haven't seen that, maybe it is fixed but might have been the files themselves.
pirkothederp
teamviewer makes it so easy to share screens, that it's actually super easy to exploit to hack someone.
iNarrateYourReply
I only use it to help my dad with his PC, or to connect to my PC with mobile device.
AlaSnackbar
Glad someone pointed this out.
MyPenisIsBigInSomeCountries

Thanks
ivdok
"However, it appears that a majority of affected TeamViewer users were not using two-factor authentication." That's idiot users' problems.
redsalmon
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
Doggoarchivar
if you are using it for 10 min to solve a problem you are very safe :P
ivdok
All the reports about "hacks" are from users dumb enough to use one password on multiple sites, or using suspicious pass managers. Fuckwads.
pirkothederp
only if you can turn it off afterwards. remember the program is designed to run in the background wanting for a join request.
SgtLemming
There's an option to install it for unattended use in the installer, I don't believe it's the default. Also there's the standalone client.
eraser1
Not to mention, you can choose in the "installer" to just run it once and not actually install anything...
JohnSmithterms
It was also hacked recently. Open the door to hackers by installing it. A simple port scan can you. Use with virtual box to be secure.
Eldiablo17
It was not hacked recently.
JohnSmithterms
Yes it was.
SgtLemming
A port scan can't reveal a teamviewer computer behind a router as it connects outgoing to their server, it doesn't open an incoming port.
JohnSmithterms
5938
SgtLemming
Great... you stated a port number, that doesn't prove shit. I checked all the PC's I have running it, and none of them have that port open.
aCatfishNamedKitty
I use join.me
pirkothederp
so do i, its fun but it does want a subscription i believe
redsalmon
Problems with join.me. Seems to be a problem with unmuting when screensharing. Plus if you have a lot of meetings you need several accounts
TangoIndiaTangoSierra
You download the little package, choose to install or just run, then give the browser URL out
TangoIndiaTangoSierra
You don't need accounts to use join.me, I've actually never registered, it's a one-use and throw away program...
MrStealUrMemes
The amount of scam calls I got asking me to download teamviewer
