    Ads were already there for years - for Facebook, TikTok, Candy Crush, and who knows what else.

    I would say this is embarrassingly unprofessional, but the truth is this is just normal these days - normalized by Facebook and Android - and I’m just old and used to better software.

    I switched to Linux the same year they appeared.
