So I'm a hotel with #enshittified wifi. My Linux laptop can't connect to it bc my browsers are like, "Hell no, we're not touching that corporate surveillance crap." So...

#Linux #phone #wifi #hack #workaround #computers #kludge

I got my #iphone on the #wifi, I plugged the phone into the computer, and now it's a tethered internet connection.

NB: It's #Gnome on #Debian, which might make a difference.

#hack #workaround #kludge #computers

This is only possible, I figure, because #iphones are absolutely shit at security and are letting the hotel impregnate the phone with many and various pieces of corporate malware.

Alas.

Final note:

This DID NOT work! I think the enshittified captive wifi somehow stops at my phone's hotspot, so my computer has actually been drawing on my data plan, and Canadian data plans are *CRAP*. I just got a text from my provider that I'm 50% through my data two weeks in, and that's never happened before.

So: this hack is not viable.

Sigh.

"Canadian data plans are *CRAP*"
That's an understatement! We have the worst!

@TrueNorthSpice I think we might be literally The Worst in the world. Because we must defend against American corporations (that threaten our domestic monopolies).
