Unfortunately 24 hour libraries, or even late night, are pretty much non-existent now because 1) parents use them as babysitters and 2) nothing against homeless people but librarians aren't equipped or staffed to take care of them appropriately.

And now with the book bans librarians are in short supply too, which means shorter hours and even fully closing on some weekdays.

Support your local library, everyone! See if there's a "friends of" group. It's a great way to connect with your community.

God bless Firefox reader mode.

Good VPNs have adblockers.

Everyone on the Internet should have one now. Also a password generator.

I wonder if this will have any effect on the film industry...

Several cities, including Paris and Grenoble in France, São Paulo in Brazil, and Chennai in India have taken concrete steps in this direction. In São Paulo, ads are banned from certain parts of the city, and in Paris, they are prohibited near schools.

Several more cities are following suit, with a growing ad-free movement aiming to make cities a better place to live. ‘Adfree Cities,’ a UK-based nonprofit, is one such example. Cities such as Bristol, Birmingham, and Cardiff are part of its network, attempting to drastically reduce the amount of urban advertising

This is an excellent trend, and one that only lobbyists would fight against.

Since the online advert bubble seems to be bursting, I'm going to take that as a glimmer of hope. And until then, VPN maximus, ads be gone!

You ok there bud?

I'll be curious to see how well this does.

I just put /e/ on my Gen 1 Pixel and the camera quality was not good. I need to try the google camera apk and see if that helps, but that was quite the downer for me. Kind of the only things I care about are battery life and photo quality.

I had two friends quit call centers within a month of joining because it immediately sent them into a depression.

I'm sorry for everything you have to deal with at work.

One of my required classes in college had a day where the professor just talked about all the times porn determined the newest media distribution standards.

I can sympathize with you.

My industry is also anti-solarpunk (television and live events) but the skills I've learned along the way would translate well. I use the term "guerrilla TV" a lot because we really do swarm into any location and make it functional for our needs. It would just be neat if live entertainment could be beneficial and green instead of capitalism-driven and wasteful.
