there was a time when i was a teenager (2003) when it was very exciting to update, you would get all these new features, and if you didnt update you would get viruses. you would get new software made by white programmers.

now its all pajeet slop memory leaking, spyware and "subscription" software.
there are shills on 4chan /g/ that shill daily to update to windows 11 and they call you "Babyducks" if you refuse to.

DO NOT listen to them. you will only hurt yourself. stay on your win 7, win 10 LTSC, use the OLD working software and PIRATE and HOARD everything you can.

you DONT need to update a movie player
you DONT need to update an audio player
you DONT need to update a text editor
these programs DO NOT require weekly updates or bring any new "features"
