its harder than that too because you can’t really be neutral, you have to be what the political majority in the area that pays your bills thinks neutral looks like. in our case, thats redneckistan. thankfully most of the ones that would cause issues dont go to the library anyway (although for literacy reasons I’d still rather they did) but if some of the homeschoolers parents decide to raise hell on Facebook it could be bad for us. they are pretty dependent on us though bc ours is the library they have available for their kids but they still could do that if they wanted.

idk what the Dewey decimal on it was but it was in nonfiction bc we only have fiction, nonfiction, paperbacks, and fiction and nonfiction again for junior, ya, easy, and Spanish.

at our library something like a small tear is generally fine but if its major damage you are fined whatever it’ll cost us to replace the book right then edit: spelling

yeah, homeschooling needs some more regulation.

this sums up my experience with them pretty well too

why second-hand? those are the ones she already won’t get anything from.

we dont have an ‘adult’ section, just regular fiction and nonfiction and accompanying sections for ya and junior. i have no idea what a ya nonfiction book is and neither does anyone else who works there rn so nothing has been going to that section.

its especially concerning since we get a lot of people who are the bad kind of homeschoolers. the trump books and audiobooks dont move at all thankfully.

as a public facility, the library is supposed to prioritize what the public is using. because the book was getting used, bullshit can’t even be official.

I’ve gotten 4 or 5 messages from this bot, also since about january.

probably either a network issue or content filter (bc Nazi salute).

to my knowledge the closest they’ve gotten is failing tests

it should be considered harassment to advertise like this

This is my mbin account. the mbin community is @TuxedoOS@kbin.earth

how does it compare to something like jellyfin (or Plex, despite not being FOSS it’d be unfair not to mention them)?

cool, lmk what you think after you try it. also, there’s no posts yet but on one of my Lemmy accounts I made a community for it.

I (after a lot of prior distro hopping) went from neon to tuxedo OS and have had very few issues, and only one that was major (was my own fault).

unfortunately, a lot of the time they really don’t have a choice at the store level. I know it’s not the most helpful suggestion, but maybe reaching out to corporate to let them know there are people who want that could help. good luck on your lard quest.

make communities, tell people about them on Reddit, about all you can do. “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink”.
