18-year-old built a better computer monitor that doesn't strain your eyes
I use "Monitor Control" on my Mac Studio to control the brightness of my Dell monitor:
- Scrollbars Are Becoming a Problem

[50% OFF] Lunar Pro summer discount
Good free alternative is MonitorControl. Pretty sure it does everything Lunar does but is open-sourced.

Which apps do you install first on any new Mac?
MonitorControl- use the native DDC/CI of external monitors to control their brightness and contrast and volume through the menu bar rather than the physical monitor controls

A long list of problems with MacOS (and their potential solutions)
Solution: Monitor Control.

TIL there are apps that can control your monitor without touching the buttons on it
MonitorControl (simple manual controls, doesn't yet work on M2 Macs though)
The best apps on macOS are BetterDisplay and Lunar by far in terms of features. MonitorControl is a strong offering as well, the gold standard in this field and is open source but it does not support recent M2 macs or any of the built-in HDMI ports of Macs since 2018 (note: BetterDisplay is the only macOS app that supports everything - Intel, M1, M2, USB-C, HDMI - even the HDMI port of the 2018 Mini).

Stuffit – 30 Years of File Compression
It's good, but I've shifted over to Keka (https://github.com/aonez/Keka) which is much more modern and versatile (and compresses)
Keka isn't open source. It's not even source-available! https://github.com/aonez/Keka/blob/fb4292000cf946e6a022d0281...
> The source code of Keka 1.0 will not be public due some legal issues. Legal support is needed, if you can help the project, please get in contact on [email protected] or the Project page on the official Keka website. Any help is welcome.

A collection of useful Mac Apps
Keka - Price: Free File archiver for macOS that supports many file formats, including ZIP, RAR, and 7-Zip.

Seven.zip
Since RAR decompression is listed, I'll assume you mean compression:

Sounds like it is a licensing issue more than anything? People still compress to RAR?

A guide to using Campaign Cartographer 3+ on a Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 chip) + optional iPad drawing tablet using Apple Pencil
Step 3: Right click the duplicated EXE and click Open With> and select the extraction program of your choice.
