        That was my exact thinking too; I update because it’s red and not green. That, and pacman goes waka waka waka.

      Similar reaction to memes about modern software being slow and bloated where linux users in the comments have a smug circlejerk about using linux like it magically changes how the same damn programs and webpages run. I find that very cringe and I say that as a NixOS btw user myself.

        I mean it sure does help if the OS you’re running this software on isn’t also a bloated mess.

        But yeah unfortunately there’s so much needlessly slow software out there, that it probably doesn’t make that much of a difference anymore.

      Because Windows software often include self-updaters because Windows doesn’t update your software all at once for you
