The futility of Ad-Blockers
Ads are filling the entirety of the Web -- websites, podcasts, YouTube videos, etc. -- at an increasing rate. Prices for those ad placements are plummeting. Consumers are desperate to use ad-blockers to make the web palatable. Google (and others) are desperate to break and block ad-blockers. All of which results in... more ads and lower pay for creators.
It's a fascinatingly annoying cycle. And there's only one viable way out of it.

Not what I was hoping for this afternoon, but still nice to get some classic Mac time in. Grabbed a game from Macintosh Garden; Starship Titanic. I’ve never played it, but I remember being really curious about it as a kid.
Moved it over to the Mac via sneakernet. It’s been decompressing for over 30 minutes… just realized I forgot the onboard USB is 1.1 and I didn’t transfer the files to the HDD before running StuffIt on it. Whoopsie 😅. I really love old systems.
