How are those AUR builds coming up anon?
Or is it your Windows 10 updates?

>>59244467

>>59244084
Remember when they "upgraded" Opera?

Now sit the fuck down, ignorant slave.

>>59244187
That's pretty accurate though.

updates are very seldom botnets when the program is free software

when it's nonfree software updates are often botnets. Remember how the only thing Microsoft bothered backporting to Windows 7 was the (((telemetry)))?

No thanks, I stay on the old version. If someone already sits in front of my pc everything is lost anyways.

Sound like a OEM problem

>>59244084
>updates are bloat
it's absolutely true though, especially on Android

why would I need to update my su binary so often, if ever?

I wish there were two branches of updates; security updates and functionality updates.

Security updates just being security and nothing else, while functionality updates contain all of that bloaty buggy garbage that people program into perfectly functional software to justify their existence.

What I want is firefox 3.6 with up-to-date security. Is that really too much to ask

>>59246442
Open-source projects hate LTS because devs think working on new features is fun and patching security holes in old code is boring.

Proprietary-software companies hate LTS because they want to sell you version X + 1 instead of supporting version X, since that costs less and brings in more revenue.

>>59246460
Yeah, updating security holes isn't as exciting as working on that 'new paradigm shift social media neural net machine learning cloud computing radical synthesis' functionality.
And in corporation structures that are google-like and people just generally work on what they want, this disincentives working on the boring but important stuff.
Resulting in less secure, more resource intensive and less useful software.

why would i install latest developments in trojans and backdoors to my compy

But 3.6 sucked. The current one is faster.

>>59244084
>software is working perfectly fine
>update it
>something doesnt work properly anymore
This happens frequently. There are things you can do to protect yourself from most security issues but you shouldn't blindly update everything just because there is an update available.

Security is more than just keeping software up to date. If you can't keep your shit safe even without updating your software then you won't be safe with it updated either.

You must have accidentally wandered here from reddit, go back.

>>59249436
not only this but it’s been literally created to discuss anime and is based on a Japanese imageboard

complaining about weebs on 4chan is similar to complain about the salt in the sea
