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.

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

UndeadFoodSnob@lemmy.worldOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Netflix Discs is going away, where will you rent/buy disc based media?English51·2 years agoI 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.

Supporting your local library is always a pro move
UndeadFoodSnob@lemmy.worldOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Netflix Discs is going away, where will you rent/buy disc based media?English6·2 years agoWhat 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)
Cd’s was not really a thing in 83.

I love trash! Even though I love these movies, I feel most would label them as terrible. I would also recommend any of these movies if you haven’t seen them.
Three movies from S. Craig Zahler
- Bone Tomahawk
- Brawl in Cell Block 99
- Dragged Across Concrete
Extra Trash
- Cemetery Man (Dellamorte Dellamore)
- Deep Rising
- Escape From L.A.
- Idle Hands
- Warlock
- Surf Ninjas
- Your Highness
