  1. 🥳 Ah, GitHub's latest innovation: a #JSON #formatter that moonlights as an #adware delivery service. Who knew parsing data could come with such delightful surprises? 🚀 Now you can read JSON and explore the vibrant world of pop-ups simultaneously! 🙄

  2. @axx I am so happy burned all bridges down to Microsoft, google, Adobe and apple. Feeling self-determined, free and protected again with regard to my data. Processes and functions are much faster, more stable and available offline.

  3. Jak wykupione rozszerzenia Chrome zmieniły się w malware i adware

    Dzisiaj praktycznie wszystko można zrobić w przeglądarce. Korzystanie z dedykowanej aplikacji do maili, pakietu biurowego czy komunikatora nie jest konieczne, bo większość takich usług działa również w wersjach webowych. Co za tym idzie, przeglądarka staje się de facto środowiskiem do uruchamiania innych aplikacji. TLDR: A środowisko takie musi być wygodne,...

  4. 4/ Detect and remove Mac malware effectively by scanning autoloaders, identifying suspicious processes, and cleaning infected systems with professional-grade tools.

    Stay proactive against #trojans, #adware, #crypto #miners 👾

  5. @volpeon @puniko IMHO #IPv6's notation should've been #decimal like #IPv4 so the entire IPv4 address space would've fit as a #subnet into it, providing us with a transition mechanism that would've allowed backwards compatibility by virtue of addressing every port as a dedicaded IPv6, enabling way faster adoption.

    Sadly until EVERYTHING supports IPv6 natively and comes with fixed prefixes (at least a /64 on mobile) that are statically allocated, I can't even use it.

    There's a reason I've got a /28 of IPv4's but by ISP won't even delegate me a /48 of IPv6's: Because there is neither demand nor offer for that.

    And yes, HE.net's #Tunnelbroker isn't solving issues because even if I choose a PoP in Germany everyone will just blatantly #GeoIP (which on it's own should be illegal IMHO!) one to the #USA, worsening the entire experience by virtue of illegal #Adware and #Tracking...

  6. @iampytest1 Let me see if I understand this correct.

    The programs you are trying to tag is programs that counter blacklists with whitelists, without notifying or righting about it to the end user, right?

    that would “just” be #Malware https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malware

    If the programs you are trying to tag is programs that counter blacklists with whitelists, and writing it on page 700 of 1300 user agreements pages, then I would just call it potentially unwanted program ( #PUP ) or potentially unwanted application ( #PUA ) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potentially_unwanted_program

    Such software may use an implementation that can compromise privacy or weaken the computer’s security. Companies often bundle a wanted program download with a wrapper application and may offer to install an unwanted application, and in some cases without providing a clear opt-out method.

    What is it exactly that is your final goal here? Specify it is #adware related or also other kinds of #privacy threatening #software or #apps ?
