The only games you truly own from a pragmatic point of view don’t even come on physical media, they come with public licenses. Commercial products that you come to love will always be used against you. Just stop engaging.

Okay? So? Brand names exist to have a reputation. A random string of characters isn’t trying to develop and trade on a positive reputation and so is automatically suspect.
If security is the one and only priority, you wouldn’t be running a goddamn desktop environment and all that other baggage. You absolutely would be auditing your entire stack. Because security is the one and only priority. I didn’t pose the hypothetical, but that’s the necessary consequence.
If your system is secure, updating it can only make it insecure. If that is your one and only priority, you have to review updates before applying them, and since you have thoroughly investigated your entire stack up to this update and that version also has your real-world testing behind it, you’re probably not going to apply most updates until some other priority comes along or you discover a previously unknown vulnerability.
Why I don’t update software:
- 1% apathy
- 1% i want it to keep working
- 98% i don’t want to have to fucking reinstall the same fucking nvidia drivers again FOR SOME REASON
dude they already own the locked down hardware you need to play the games. you already have to pay monthly fees or get locked out of most of your games. they can already lock you out of all your games whether or not you have physical media. if you’re doing business with sony, YOU’RE ALREADY FUCKED. just lie back and enjoy it, or fucking leave.

That’s the glib interpretation but it’s more likely NetFlix knew we sucked all along and was acting accordingly than that they trained us only to watch one season.
