@SherBeareth generally the #Enshittifucation of #PublicPhone|s / #PayPhine|s is real!
#WhatsMissing: #Privacy-#PhoneBooth with secure, #E2EE #calls between locations.
@kkarhan I went to college in Paris, and on magically great occasion the phone booth line would be around the block and word would go out the box was broken. Foreigners would line up and be courteous about time spent. Always cracked my Dad up when it happened. Free call??!! Then in DC I worked for Sen. Leahy and they had a coast to coast free line, you signed up on a timesheet. The name escapes me. Damn I’m getting olde.
@freequaybuoy Condolences. My Granddad was Welsh, and he’d have spit glass. Then taken a couple fingers of whiskey.
@freequaybuoy Cheers. 🥃 🤘🏻 And thank you. I was a lucky granddaughter. I haven’t been over since 2013, far overdue for visiting Wales. I need to pick a region I haven’t yet explored and practice driving on the left side of the road. I nearly cooked a duck’s goose outside St. David’s last trip and still guilt about it. I live in a mountainous windy-roaded region of the NE US and should be no great threat to ducks.
