    Dude should never be allowed to touch a computer again. How do these people get hired? He Googled “homebrew,” clicked a fucking ad, landed at the page in the screenshot, then ran that insanely obviously suspicious terminal command to “install” it. Are you joking.

      I got a Captcha on some search result a few weeks ago that initially looked legitimate then came up with this.

      It had put obfuscated code on my clipboard to download and run an executable.

      I agree with you, but unfortunately “just run this command” is how the brew page works, so mac users are trained to just do that, and I can believe they did it without looking (although that command would have me asking questions as well) - a similar looking brew page to the above that is the genuine brew page, and which just has a "copy and paste this into your terminal" instruction for installing

      What the fuck? I did that when i was like 13. If someone wrote this as a story, no one would believe it, because its too stupid, but fucking hell, reality is dumber than fiction.
