Ones here in the states vary a lot from place to place. Some places have absolutely everything, books, movies, games, tools, makerspaces (or at least 3d printers), computers etc.

But most city libraries outside if your big big ones are still relatively small. My local one is about the size of a small grocery store, real modest. Damn do the workers there pour their hearts and souls into it though, they're always hosting events and stuff. Really appreciate our library workers. Main benefit is getting access to their network, which generally gets you a whole host of other stuff. Ebook rentals, audio book rentals, book transfers, etc.

It's a shame what the GoP is trying to do to the American library system.

They're solid generic blockbuster action-ish movies. They're not amazing, but they're fun enough that I think they're worth a watch if you can't decide what to watch one night.

Alto , 1 month ago to piracy in What drew you to the high seas?

Emulation when I was younger (and to a lesser extent now. I own the vast majority of old consoles/games I have any interest in playing these days). These days it's near exclusively TV/Movies and pretty much entirely because of convenience. Between myself and the others in my household, we have near every streaming service, I just can't be fucked to figure out which one what I want to watch is on.

I really need to get around to turning my old pc into a media server.

Alto , 1 month ago to asklemmy in What's your most unpopular opinion about music ?

I think survivorship bias plays into it as well. Yeah, most the stuff on the radio today is kinda meh. Most the stuff on the radio in those days was kinda meh too. All the meh songs got forgotten, and you only remember the bangers. You've already seen it happen to 00s music and we're watching it happen with the 10s.

But yeah, it's wild how many people look at how accessible different types of music are now and just... don't go looking.
