@Viss I feel an article is building up here. European and/or ad-free alternatives to big tech software. Give me a couple of weeks and I should have some experience in that as well. Just have to learn how to write articles first 😄

@Viss @fere If not, run pandoc on the markdown. (Might require a working LaTeX installation.)

Sooo...ads have targeting and targeting will be based on contents of word/excel file.

Make a completely innocent file with keywords for a bad ad purchased to infect those that open your absolutely clean phish, plus any others who get it as a drive by? 😈

Yeah, I guess once there's ads in the start menu and the control panel and the browser it's not far for the spreadsheet to fall.
