Blocky Pixels

I rather enjoy the library. It's quiet, has internet, and doesn't block any websites I need for my projects. Until they decided to block open game art and any website I would upload my game updates to. I live in an area where I cannot get high-speed internet, even if I had the money. Over the course of a weekend half the websites I used got blocked, but the library still has minecraft and roblox on their computers. Good luck updating them when you block anything to do with games.

Their security system, Fortiguard, is "great". It categorizes derpibooru as pornographic and gurochan as  arts and culture. With derpibooru you have to set the filters to view anything adult but with gurochan it's just a click away, a click away. Because gore is so artistic and cultured. Pixiv is marked as Entertainment, but has similar content as dirpibooru, just in broader categories. And don't get me stated on furaffinity being arts and culture. I guess nobody was logged in when that site was classified.

Fortiguard won't update a website's category, even if you ask nicely with evidence that the category is incorrect.

I know, I'm complaining, but I think I should do that more often.

The local coffee shop doesn't block games. I may not like the music or chairs, but I'll be hanging around there more often. Mainly to avoid The People's Library.

Maybe they'll block blogger next.
