Ad blocker in a real life 🫣

A red billboard at a bus stop displays the message "this ad can't be blocked" in bold white text, ironically covered with a taped-up piece of cardboard attempting to block the ad. The scene is captured in daylight with green grass, trees, and a bus stop sign visible in the background, humorously mimicking a real-life ad blocker.

@Edent The Code of the Woosters - incredible rhytm and satirical timing.

Three Men in a Boat - aside from being just funny, I find it interesting that book so old (published 1889) can still be funny for a contemporary reader.

I was literally laughing out loud reading both ;)

@Edent I can think of two that are already in a public domain, so you can probably find them for free, but still will jump in to recommend:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Code

and
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Me

The Code of the Woosters was surely in Kobo library if you want the comfort of quick download on your reader.

30 Apr 2022 Deliveroo food app couriers in Dubai went on an illegal strike, in opposition to a proposed pay cut and increase in working hours to 14 hours per day. The strike continued until May 2 when the company agreed to abandon both changes. stories.workingclasshistory.co

@lawik as much as JosΓ© Valim seems to be humble and great guy, the benevolent dictator for life model scares me a bit.
1. What if he suddenly goes Matt Mullenweg? Happens to the best of men.
2. What if for whatever reason he has to drop his work on Elixir?
Elm, which seems to be beloved by many, suffers because of reliance on one person, I think.
