Last Sunday, I made my first attempt at offering free digital support to a non-technical crowd. The main focus was to help install ad blockers, but it was also the opportunity to adjust accessibility settings, remove bloatware, and give various tech tips.
It was part of a freeshop event here in Valence, France. I installed 12 ad-blockers and a few alternative YouTube frontend (Tubular) in a few hours, and had some nice chats on digital tools; will do it again 😄

@maxlath@piaille.fr Where did you set up? Was it just random people coming up to your table or was there some kind of theme or event where you were?
