@snazzyq Hi! As the person who got me into Homebrew, I wonder if you could help me solve a mystery: I am using Intego antivirus and it flags Boost 1.85 as being infected with malware when trying to upgrade.

Proton MailA new low, even for #Google. Giving Google permission to share information about you with third-party websites is being falsely advertised as an "ad privacy feature". This is privacy washing at its most extreme. But it gets even worse.
There is a dark pattern on the second screenshot. It isn't just informing you about the fake privacy features. Clicking on "Got it" actually turns on these features that allow Google to use your recent browsing history for ads on third-party websites:
Sheril Kirshenbaum“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.”
