I wish you were exaggerating but my workplace has been sending multiple bricked laptops a week in for warranty. All windows update.

I’ve heard it mentioned lately, it’s on the list to see!

We’re definitely cooked when THIS is the content that convinces some people to vote a certain way.

I wonder if this will be the last reddit exodus, I don’t know how they can enshittify further so I imagine those that remain are pretty complacent.

I already think proton mail is pretty slow to render/load, they don’t have much room to make it worse before it’s too much-in other words they better be real careful with that vibe coding.

In general these events have me thinking of switching providers (and I have a paid tier).

I agree with that and care very much about privacy, but for me there’s a big difference between privacy and security-it’s why I’d take an out of date linux install over freshly patched windows 11-I think that in the right use case one could argue CVEs aren’t relevant so long as they’re not being exploited. Obviously though an up to date linux/graphene/whatever install is the best of both worlds.

I think a lot of these views for me were born from an anticonsumption standpoint. Some corporation decides to stop releasing software updates for a device, on their terms, and now I’m supposed to open my wallet? Nah. I used an out of date phone for 6 years and nothing bad came of it, but again it’s down to who you are and how you use it.

Unpopular opinion: security is overrated unless you do dumb things or are a high profile target
