Coffee, Linux and an occasional beer. And jazz, loads of Jazz
Lars WirzeniusI wrote a tool help me create/delete a bunch of VMs at once, for my local libvirt. It also creates an SSH host certificate for the VMs so that I don't have to accept new host keys, or delete them from my known hosts -file manually.

That looks both awesome and terrifying
Personally I don't mind (too much) seeing adds in an app, but showing adds is often the first step in monetizing users. The next step is selling user data, and we see that happening over and over again.
If possible I try to use free and open software where the user has at least a theoretical possibility to be the owner of their own data.
"Without adds there wouldn't be free software" is not really true. Most of the Linux infrastructure is free, and virtually none of it is paid with adds.
Lots of software is developed just for the fun of it, and especially Apple used to have a very healthy share-ware environment where you paid once for every major version of software.
Major companies and app-stores have normalized monetizing users through adds and the sale of personal data.
An average Kdrama heroine is a typical damsel in distress who needs help 24/7... Every single drama is a variation of Pride and Prejudice... Behind every awkward female, there is a rich and handsome guy, ready to help, pay, save, and give a piggy-back ride, when needed.
Hyena's main character eats dudes for breakfast though. They even made her less good-looking, for some weird reason. Thoroughly recommended series:

To quote one of the major evil-doers of the 20th century:
“Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.”
-- Joseph Goebbels
It's either somebody "important" in government, or it's a vested business interest, it's the way of the civilized "west".
