Closed source software, freeware made by some russian dude. In 2024 i would really VET this before installing.

Because it’s closed source or because they’re Russian? Lots of closed source Swift projects in the App Store and elsewhere.

Both.

Firstly im very cautious of any "single-dev" built side project, and when its closed source im even more aware of the dangers installing. And with russia in 2024 i cant trust any software produced over there. So, combine all three (close-source, single dev and russia) and you have a something really suspicious.

Yeah single devs usually have some sort of ulterior ad driven spyware motive.

I must tell to every username out here who implying negative attitude only by pointing out that this is Russian made, you have been conditioned by mass media to become russophobic [1] you must understand that your attitude rooted in propaganda spread by institutions and not in objective reality.

Nostalgia. Any confirmation of whipping a llama’s ass?

Damn beat me too it. Shame it doesn't whip llama ass.

At least you can import skins and double the original size, maybe for some screens, it should be triple... Ironically enough, I installed the soft on my computer last Monday and used a Gunnm skin I used still I stopped listening music on my computer, nostalgia++

the AMP in winamp is trademarked, that's the reason why FreeAmp had to change its name, though not enough of a reason to call it Zinf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinf#Naming

Apparently this is coming from Russia. Good luck enforcing that trademark.
