That’s not sarcasm, that’s satire

That pretty much depends on where in the world you are, FYI. Librarian == professional fucking researcher is not a thing in Asia.

We could discuss all sorts of hypotheticals, including where there’s a secret supervillain base under the library and they’re about to assassinate OP for jacking into their network. It’s pointless because we’re not discussing an event we have any way of obtaining any other information about other than what OP has provided.

Do you trust every one-sided story to be entirely accurate of all details?

No, but for the sake of discussion in this thread, that is the scenario we’re all going by. We’re not rendering a legal judgement here, we’re discussing the situation as described.

In a public library, I would fully expect public-facing ethernet ports, especially in sitting / working areas, to be available for public use. I’m not sure why they would be there otherwise. And if they’re no longer meant for public use, it would be on the library IT staff to have disabled those ports.

what does trust have to do with it?

Because I don’t trust non-IT-savvy people to even properly understand the question. I’ve met way too many people with no technical clue who refuse to admit to any sort of lack of knowledge when it’s extremely obvious.

“Do you have ethernet or wired internet?” is actually a common library question and the response from whoever works the front desk will likely tell you everything you need to know.

Would you trust the reply somebody like the librarian in the OP gave you? Seems like the sort of person who would refuse to admit to any lack of knowledge and just bluster.

Sounds like a her problem.

Hope she’s doing well, shame what the CCP did to her

Weirdness. Anyway, kudos for being one of the few people actively supporting FOSS monetarily!

I almost got banned over there just for asking that

Huh. Why, what was the reasoning there?

Only in the BDSM subgenre

I’m not seeing the issue here

This is why beehaw needs downvotes. Crappy submissions like this article that don’t make any sense

Edit: OP has been spamming his nonsense across multiple communities, and has hundreds of downvotes on each of them. Except here on beehaw…

Why? Bitwarden has a free tier you don’t have to self host

Seeing as the customer insisted on that package despite the expert’s recommendation, that’s a fully justified idiot tax

Source? I find that doubtful considering his nick is “Cory Doctorow NONCONSENSUAL BLUE TICK”

But worse to me are their comments in that post calling the people responding “childish trolls in this community”. I do not think that this is appropriate for a moderator.

Funny, because that’s certainly how most of the responses sound like to me. OP was asking a reasonable question, and most of the responses there were nowhere near civil.

Not so easy for macbooks. Is Asahi out of beta yet?

I’m a Discord-using LGBT ally, and I don’t know anybody who uses this (nor had I heard about it until now). You may be overestimating it’s reach / appeal.

I’m a techy, linux-driving, self-hosting guy. I’m using Discord for my club chat because there’s no other practical options. People who harp about moving off Discord seem like they’ve never considered user-friendliness in their considerations.

You say it like mods are anything other than a bunch of random diverse people with little to no communications between those on different subs
