Hiya folks! Please flag answers consisting mainly of a link to listoffreeware.com as spam on sight. We've gotten six answers from them in the last few days, over two accounts and with the same terrible style:

Also, please don't leave a comment that just says “we need more information”. Give some examples of what is missing. Concrete guidance is a lot more useful and more welcoming than “RTFFAQ”.

@JohnnyApplesauce Trustworthy in what sense, will it give you a virus? No. Should you trust them with personal information? Probably not, but they have a confidentiality policy. I'd personally use something installed in my computer like pdfsam for documents with sensitive information.

and if you are actually being treated unfairly, I will make a lot of noise until people focus on treating me unfairly instead of you

Q: What are some computer programs to draw macroscopic things on molecules?

SavirIt's just for the presentation. I saw in many papers/presentations such things. For example a human on a molecule, etc. Are there any specific softwares/tools for that?

Happy new year to all who already arrived in it – and see you on the other side once you arrive who are not yet here :D

@GnomeSlice That's because the basic unit of an answer is not "a piece of software" but "a solution". While the latter will typically involve a piece of software that needs to be acquired, such common cases do not define what makes an answer.

Ah, right, sorry, I was from my console. Will just close, and give this reason. I'm not going to migrate sub-par questions. Thanks!

@Pandya as long as you don't violate copyrights, why not? Jitsi is FOSS – and you use that logo to "adverise" their product. I see no problem with that.

@Izzy Is it ok to attach image/logo ?

@Izzy Which is why I think we should just stick to "free" and "open source".

I'm interested in finding a text reader other than Notepad (on Windows), so that I can make the background black and the text white. Do you know where some alternative text readers are compared?

Is online2pdf a trustworthy site?

@dan @JanDoggen @RockPaperLizard When you see spam, please don't edit it to remove the spam link, just flag it as spam. Deleting posts by spam flag trains the automatic spam filter.
