I’m not using my chefs knife most of the time either, but I sure as fuck am not going to walk to the community chef knife repository every time I want to use one.
My shower only sees 10 minutes of use a day, do I need to remove half of my bathroom and share with a dozen people so we aren’t over producing fiberglass showers?
How about my vacuum? I only use that about once a week, probably shouldn’t even own one of those either. I’ll just pop on down to grab a vacuum when someone else isn’t using it, maybe make a schedule for who gets to use one and when for max efficiency, like a vacuum library.
It’s not like they wear out sitting there for a week, they wear out when they get used. I would agree that the race to the bottom in quality is bad, and more people should have durable repairable machines that don’t hook up to the wifi, but I don’t think that a non-consumable utility like a washing machine is bad for people to own and use.
It is not illegal to make backup copies for yourself of games you have purchased and own.
