Will be interesting to see how this spans and plays out in reality. Looks promising too, did a quick scan of their builtin permissions and trackers and looks good too. (Scanning tool is called Exodus)
you wouldn't be happy with that. i looked up how the Wifi routers are distributed, and (in Austria at least) small towns have 1-2 routers placed in the municipal buildings they have, servicing the town square. Which means you would have to sit around inside or outside of city hall all day.
Yes, it's not like poor people or children with abusive parents need library wifi to do anything important like looking up how to deal with life's shit when their parents never taught them how.
bro, i never said anything about people in bad situations; it's clear that they profit from that and that's a great thing. but cancelling your cell service to use this instead is not a smart move.
