Comment on Has ethernet become illegitimate? A librarian flipped out after spotting me using ethernet

You’ve missed the thesis. This is not really about staying out of trouble. Or more precisely, as an activist up to my neck in trouble it’s about getting into the right trouble. The thesis is about this trend of marginalising people with ethernet ports and either no phone and/or shitty wifi gear/software. It’s about exclusivity of public services funded with public money.

How many times do we need to tell you that you can’t lie about your intentions and then expect people to respect your perceived “rights“? This is like anti-maskers who would walk into places with mask mandates intentionally and then takeoff their masks just to make a scene and record it for the Internet. You’re pot stirring.

Also, it is a library… very real possibility they have actual computers you can use/borrow for people that cant use their wifi for whatever reason (such as not having a laptop/tablet/smartphone).
