Just relax, it's not the end of the world. You're not an *ssh*l* for thinking what you do. I applaud them for wanting to maintain the bistro vibe. In Europe, it's refreshing to see people actually relaxing, and engaged with each other instead of staring at screens, and frankly, it's nice that they're working to create that type of feel. There are plenty of places you can go, plug in, and camp out.

I really appreciate it. I fully support work from home, but people do tend to take over cafes with their work. I hate listening to someone’s Zoom meeting while I’m trying to vibe; I go to cafes to escape. The holding pen for people who want the cafe to be their office is hilarious though.

There’s plenty of other options to work in. Thanks for providing a cafe recommendation for me to check out!

Edit: Looked them up. “The Study” area is great! It allows all the people wanting to work from a cafe to do so together.

Using a VPN isn't going to cut it; the apps will detect it and stop you from placing a wager, and might even lock your account for trying it.

And that's because of the consequences for them of not adhering to state lines. They didn't even let me use a rooted phone despite actually being in a legal state, because location can be spoofed on a rooted phone. And I haven't seen anyone yet figure out how to bypass that detection.
