oh yeah absolutely wild thing from earlier
google sponsored ad link for keepass led to a lookalike site that distributed malware
and this is why you always block ads

i can't go to hell - i'm all out of vacation days. i watch space rocks and yell at computers for my day job. probably too old for any of this
i think i might be burned out on internet social. it's hard to keep doing it. it's hard to even maintain the amount of attention i'm already giving it
i am the cause of most of my own problems
furthermore, capitalism must be destroyed

I thought everyone knew by now the main purpose of online advertising is to serve malware? Is this not common knowledge????
i think there's definitely a difference of kind between like your typical shady download site and "google literally replaced the top result for a well known utility with an identical lookalike scam site that gives you malware"
This was a really fun thing to see after noodling with keepass earlier this week...
(tbf I'm fine, I was just grabbing updates and migrating stuff but still...)
