The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised.

If it was for me, I would support a FOSS alternative but, parents didn't enjoy the Libreoffice experience.

I got my parents in their 70s to use Ubuntu for a few years now. All they use is a web browser and word processing application for .docx files. They used MS Word for years and I found Only Office has a similar UI and opens word docs.

At one point I gave them an older laptop running windows again and they hated it. They wanted Linux back.

There is! 7th Heaven is what you want.

This is more like a huge mod manager that lets you pick and choose the mods you want, rather than Moguri Mods install and it just works.

Thanks UbiSoft for rubbing it in my face with this message, "You no longer have access to this game. Why not check the Store to pursue your adventures?"

The feeling of falling into the cold inky blackness... I love it!

These Star Trek memes are hot fire!

I dont believe this will have the desired affect Google thinks it will. I, personally, will never buy Premium or switch to Chrome without an AD block. If anything, I will just download via linux or just not watch Youtube anymore.

If it comes down to it, I have no issue just not using Youtube ever again. FireFox and Ublock are your friend.

I sadly see a lot of doom and gloom on the horizon when it comes to streaming services as a whole. Prices will increase, Ads will become common place and limitations on how and when you view your content (Hardware exclusivity for example).

Additionally, as others mentioned some media will just be lost to the ages. Many movies and shows will likely never come to a streaming service and are lost to time. Kevin Smiths Dogma for example will likely never come to a streaming service.

Archiving and backing up a DVD, Blu Ray or UHD can be very valuable to a user even today. I run a personal JellyFin with over 1000 movie titles. Having instant access to a library like this can not compare to any streaming service in size or quality and it has zero subscription fees.

But each to their own.

This is a great suggestion!

Supporting your local library is always a pro move

What services do you use?

As a rental service I have used gamefly and redbox. When buying media, I have used Amazon, Hamilton Books, HPB and Decluttr.

Whats your experience with any of these services?

Gamefly

Its, okay....

Long mailing times due to lack of shipping centers.

Library of movies is pretty good, but lacks many classics.

Low stock.

Good place for contemporary media.

Redbox

Harder to find in my area.

limited library.

Decluttr

This is hit or miss. I have only bought and never sold items here.

Large library of changing titles.

Since pricing is set by an end user, so prices can be amazing or down right insane. (no one is paying $100+ dollars for a used blu ray)

I am a lover of trash, behold my list of trash:

• The Possession of Hannah Grace | RT 21%
• Death to Smoochy | RT 42%
• Reign of Fire | RT 42%

Death to Smoochy is a great gem if you haven't seen it.

Cd's was not really a thing in 83.
