As-tu essayé de demander directement aux bibliothécaires ? On ne sait jamais
(traduction)
J'ai simplement dit aux bibliothèques qu'il y avait des problèmes de connexion et ils n'avaient aucune idée ni aucun intérêt à en discuter. À une branche WiFi n'était pas alimenté (pas de SSID) et ils ne savaient même pas comment l'allumer. Ils ne pouvaient que signaler le problème. Les techniciens semblent inaccessibles aux utilisateurs.
(original)
I simply told the libraries there were connection problems and they had no idea or any interest in discussing it. At one branch WiFi was not powered on (no SSID) and they did not even know how to turn it on. They could only report the problem. The technicians seem to be unreachable by the users.
I see, that's unfortunate. Public services tend to be subfunded in Belgium
I would agree there is a lack of funding for public services. This is likely what has driven communes to close their counter service and only exclusively serve online people (and even then only those with the most mainstream of devices). But the lack of funding may not be primary culprit for the library issues. Whenever technology is pushed on people, there is widespread across-the-board incompetence in both public and private sectors, and likely worldwide. In the case at hand, there is a widespread irrational mentality that Tor users are criminals. From that manifests the idea that the Tor community can be shut out without discussion.
I agree. It's a worldwide issue, and Belgium is no exception
