Bettertouchtool

I can’t use a Mac without it. Just read the website, it does damn near everything, and just as good as Apple would in most cases.

But if I had to describe it (poorly) it remaps gestures on nearly any input device, including the stream deck and many Logitech devices (MxMaster!). The custom gesture support is linear, meaning that the animations track with your fingers/input rather than just pop onto place (like how you can “peek” into Mission Control” and the old launchpad with trackpad gestures).

Definitely MediaMonkey, though I’ve had it for 16 years instead of 10 after paying $40 for a lifetime license. The license format changed once and I’ve misplaced my key a couple of times, but their support has always been great at getting me back on track.

Zsnes

Also Winrar

Kind of niche but Guitar Pro. Not sure what the newer versions are like but the one I have is great for composing and arrangement.

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.

Can I say Jellyfin? I think so, since it was emby before it was Jellyfin.

Totalcommander.

Even went so far as to get a licence.

Skyrim

I’m a big fan of Smooth Video Project (SVP) for video interpolation: https://www.svp-team.com/

Say what you will about high frame rate video/animation, I paid like $10 for it in 2014 and it’s still getting updates!

Guitar Pro. Ableton. Microsoft Excel.

The switch from Premiere Pro to Davinci Resolve was happiness every step of the way. Current workplace uses premiere pro… it’s like a time capsule. Barely any changes in 7 years and still subscription.

OpenLDAP. Have been running that as the backend of several of my services since 2015.

I use it for authentication/authorization, either directly or via Authelia, as well as the backend storage for my DNS, DHCP, Kerberos, email servers, and a few internal / self-built applications. I even registered an official IANA PEN so my custom LDAP schema are properly implemented. It's setup with a 4-way multi-master replication strategy and highly available via two load balancers in different data centers (plus one locally).

Runner up is Nginx as I've been running it for just as long or a bit longer, and it also underpins most of my services in some way (at least as the frontend proxy/WAF).

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

termux

Gimp

I don't think any software I regularly used has changed since 2016( lemmy being an obvious exception. Rip reddit). Maybe home assistant. Not sure when that started. Most used: Obviously gnu+Linux+gnome. Gimp, beersmith, sabnzdb, deluge, plex. Vscode, Firefox. I'm sure many others

Reaper (DAW)

Firefox, probably tmux.
