If I describe this as "literally Orwellian" am I being histrionic

Wait, wait, no, I've got it now.

Oh. Oh okay. The city government just decided nobody was gonna read books between 5:30 and 8:30 PM today. Normal political-economic system

@mcc oof. Given the hacks they’ve dealt with recently I’m guessing it’s only somewhat a choice (beyond the choices that led to the situation that made them hackable)

@platypus I'm not necessarily blaming the city of Toronto or the TPL but rather the international 250-year chain of decisions concerning copyright and how information is displayed on touchscreen computers that created a situation where an authentication server going down for three and a half hours could leave me unable to read an ebook file already present on my phone

On the bright side, the Book outage lasted less time than originally forecast. I attempted to open a book at 7:57 PM and it let me
