I don’t know much about them but I like the idea and I’d be more inclined to use one.

We have the Co-op in the UK and it’s a household name. They run a bank and local shops but I think do more than that. They’re not employee owned though, they’re consumer owned. I’m not entirely sure what that means but I remember you used to be able to walk into a shop, pay a small amount of money, and then join. Each year you’d get a small amount of money depending on how much profit they’d made.

What about VMware Workstation Pro? Or are you looking for something FOSS? It’s easy to download without creating an account and I found it easier to setup that VB. I actually switched because I’d been having connectivity issues with VB and it took me a year to realise it was a VB issue.

Everyone’s in here acting like this is happening because they’re getting rid of shops. The shops wouldn’t be going anywhere if people were using them.

People use digital media because it’s so much more convenient. I’ve moved house three times in the past four years and it was so much easier just having to move my console rather than lug a bunch of games with it. Plus I can buy them while I’m sitting on my arse and I don’t have to go to a shop or wait until the next day for a delivery.

People are using digital media because it’s convenient, not because the shops are closing.

Was Dishonoured 2 any good? I finished the first one but it was really soured by the whole chaos system thing. I really didn’t like how I was supposed to play the game without killing anyone to get the good game. Playing the game without killing people is boring but the sad ending is so depressing it makes you feel like you failed.

What do you mean by censored? As in what’s it’s trained on?

Avatar 2 was like a 50 minute movie and 2 hours of swimming.

They didn’t get to choose the apartment they lived in, they couldn’t own them, they were often basic with communal kitchens and bathrooms. It’s a good thing they were free because the wages were low, and people were assigned jobs so there was little they could do to improve their careers, not that skilled people got paid much more.

I have no idea what’s happening but if I know Lemmy then the community is overreacting.

This joke is from 2002.

Where do you live that you’re getting raided by the police? This sounds like one of those situations where they might use the wrench technique.

It’s crazy how entitled we all feel to free information and news nowadays. 30 years ago you would never expect a newspaper for free but now it wouldn’t even occur to me to pay for news. Then we all wonder why the news sites all only deal in crappy click bait.
