VideoLAN @videolan App Stores were a mistake. Currently, we cannot update VLC on Windows Store, and we cannot update VLC on Android Play Store, without reducing security or dropping a lot of users… For now, iOS App Store still allows us to ship for iOS9, but until when?
Fdroid is the obvious answer me thinks. Anyway love you guys/gals at videolan still haven’t come across a piece of software that destroys every other in its field in every aspect.
Have people actually checked the versions there before making the suggestion?
F-Droid: Version 3.5.4 (13050408) suggested Added on Feb 23, 2023

The problem seems to be squarely with VLC themselves.
I dont think that works for windows?
How about winget or the other commandline package managers? winget does have VLC according to winget-pkgs. This is the kind of “stores” we need, ones that emulate Linux repositories instead of locked down smartphone garbage.
Is singer secure tho? Iirc chocolaty isnt
Asking if something is secure on an insecure OS. Seriously, both the program and the repositories are on github:
https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli
https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs
So you be the judge.
Unfortunately even FlatPak is insecure, so OS doesn’t really matter
Maybe don’t check all the permission boxes in flatseal and you might find it’s more secure than you think.
It’s all about default permissions
Winrar?
7zip.
PeaZip is something you should check out too
What does 7zip do better?
Not show annoying popups about licenses?
7z is better than rar and its algorithm is fully open source
Removed by mod
Check out PeaZip
Oh shit I did not know that. Switching now, thanks
Encryption?
I tried it and went back so winrar.
