Comment on Has ethernet become illegitimate? A librarian flipped out after spotting me using ethernet
coffeeClean@infosec.pub 5 months agoIt’s a good point. But note the bigger absurdity with his comment: that a public library is “his lawn”. If his inability to serve the whole public would be just in the private sector, there would be no issue because everyone he disservices can refuse to do business with him.
What’s sickening here is he said “I’m someone in IT for a Public Library”. So he is operating a public service in an exclusive manner telling people /get off his lawn/, which was financed with public money. And 53/55 people are okay with that.

In that sense, it implies that I was encroaching on his space, when in fact he entered this thread to demand that people recognize an approach to sysadministration that does not respect equal rights, privacy, or the environment, and ultimately undermines human rights and promotes consumerism to ease his job at his competency level, as if the public is expected to serve him. It’s not his lawn in either sense of the meaning.
