@nixCraft It makes it better that this was posted on Instagram

@nixCraft Well, downloading AdBlocker when you are a walking ad...

@michal @nixCraft
Thanks for the explainer - I was thinking this was simply "AdBlock, but you're on coffee shop wifi" as if that was a bandaid on something that is perceived as insecure like VPN ads would like you to believe. I completely blocked out all the branding.

@nixCraft To be fair, the second picture is completely voluntary. Having to watch ads on the internet is not.

@nixCraft А я не покупаю вещи с заметными знаками бренда. Я — не рекламный щит.

@nixCraft fuck advertisers and their attempts at forcing ads into my browser. Its not reasonable. They can eat shit.

@nixCraft only that my clothes aren't harvesting me for data. Yet.

@nixCraft the problem with the image is them not using unlock origin

@nixCraft Just leave me and my Linux/vim t-shirts and hoodies alone, OK?

@nixCraft What are the privacy & security concerns with the picture on the right?
