Ah, the New York Times graces us with an existential revelation wrapped in a JS-confetti parade. 🎭 Bob Odenkirk, our philosopher king, emerges from the algorithmic abyss to remind us that everything is pointless — just like trying to read an article behind their digital moat of ad blockers. 🧱💸

Oh, the classic tale of "Oops, your money vanished into the electronic abyss!" 😂 Apparently, even the #NYT can't figure out how to enable basic tech like JS while disabling ad blockers. 🙄 Maybe the real glitch here is trusting banks with a Ctrl+Z function for your savings. 💸✨

🚀💸 In an astonishing display of modern journalism, NYT reports a $60 billion space deal without, you know, actually telling you about it—because who needs details when you can have a blank page? 🙄 Just disable your ad blocker and imagine the possibilities! 🛸👀

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-10-26

Unfortunately, I did not have time to engage in my regular morning reading, but we can take advantage to clear links from my to-use backlog. 1. Bee Write Back is a DIY distraction-free writing machine with OLED display and mechanical keyboard (Brad Linder for Liliputing. April 9, 2026.) This is adorable. 2.

🎻 Ah, the New York Times, where you won't actually learn about Tracy Kidder's demise without first performing a sacred ritual of enabling JavaScript and disabling ad blockers. Because clearly, paying respect to a Pulitzer-winning author requires jumping through digital hoops. 🕯️🔧

Went to the village shop to get some food and returned to find the PC fully locked up ( needed a power cycle to restart!)
I suspect this is more fault of #browsers with multiple tabs left open (there's an open issue for this on #Firefox) than any flaw with #LinuxMint itself, on top of websites being more bloated and #adtech scripts and #adblockers fighting one another.
Successfully installed #Anydesk on #Linux PC, so can access #XFCE desktop remotely from my Windows laptop (we use Anydesk a lot for remote support)

Global stocks are throwing a tantrum because oil prices are playing hard to get. 🌍📉 Meanwhile, the NYT demands you disable your ad blockers so they can pay for their next "Breaking News" about how clouds are made of water. 💧🙄

#Adblocking is alive and well, despite #Chrome's attempts to make it harder
#Google Chrome's latest revision of its browser extension architecture, known as #ManifestV3 (MV3), was widely expected to make content blocking and #privacy extensions less effective than its predecessor, #ManifestV2 (MV2).
"Our results reveal no statistically significant reduction in ad-blocking or anti-tracking effectiveness for MV3 #adblockers compared to their MV2 counterparts"
