@kravietz@agora.echelon.pl quotes and links to Ryan Chenkie reminding us to never trust Google ads, in this case because Google's serving a sponsored link for Homebrew that says it goes to brew.sh, but actually goes to brewe.sh, and serves malware via the cURL pipe command to install.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
