"...the bulb broadcasts a public network that uses a captive portal to take you to the web interface of the library. From there, users can browse books– including learning from where they were banned and why...'

Build a #bannedBook library #server on a WiFi #smartLightbulb, that you can leave around anywhere as a dead drop. I personally don’t understand any of the tech but I’m sure someone around here does, and might find it tasty as a project. The more boosts this gets the more likely it’ll find the right eyes. https://www.richardosgood.com/posts/banned-book-library/

Book bans and attempted bans remain at record highs, according to the American Library Association. And efforts to have titles removed have never been more coordinated or politicized. #books #bookbans #bannedbook #library #reading #freedom #BookSky

There's a fresh #BannedBook news post on my blog: https://pwoodford.net/blog/?p=37092

Les Misérables ? Wasn't it on the list of banned books ? Why get banned ? Wasn't it about the tyrant disliked the sound of boos and a paranoid officer hated on himself for get booed by his belief ? Indeed, it is all about boos, what a boo, boos of Victor Hugo.
