Its not a professional thing to do. When you have to work with big project where a lot people cooperated and one small change or delay could harm the final result you will understand.
Why would you risk to update any software if it is not absolutely necessary.
Owen Wood
Everything you mentioned is superior to the more recent product due to being a botnet or having features that were removed in its successor versions.(for example disabling desktop composition can't be done on windows 8 and 10)

Cameron Reyes
Define update. My mom is a crazy bitch which replaces perfectly good furniture, clothes, and other stuff because she needs something "new", which I guess functions as an update. Does this sound like an update to you? What does it achieve?
Elijah Nguyen
This is software, user. Nobody cares if you want to kill your mom.
Henry Jones
Good point. Still think the analogy holds.

updates often do break shit and you're like a little rat running for placebo performance improvements, the newest bullshit "features" (>omg Pocket(TM) integration) and glossy buttons, guided by some commercial software vendor
yes, fatso, you're Edward Snowden, nsa and cia are actively implanting rootkits in your very important computer right now because you haven't updated foobar2000 and intel cpu microcodes of your wallmart hp netbook masturbation station.

Michael Cook
Local bank update software, wasting days of workers and millions dollar. Dont fix it if it arent broke is the best advice ever For winfags the only thing should be allow to update is Internet security software. For Linux it is the LTS you should preferred and update only security and performance issues hot fixes
Benjamin Kelly
yes that's exactly why most people use Arch and make fun of Debian for having ancient packages

And banks usually use microsoft products... hmm...
also cant hear you over my fresh rolling release packages
Tyler Evans
Security. I've seen systems get hacked from the inside perspective, and 9 times out of 10 it's because people don't patch the shit.
Andrew Williams
my dear idiot shill. I used to want to update when i was a young kid, made me feel good inside. then i realize the truth nowadays everything starts good..and then gets turned into a bloated mess by people who just want to shoehorn more and more spying and datamining.
at least with the old version we get to know how the datamining and spying works and disable it. with the newer and newer versions they make it impossible to detect and disable every datamining.
With the autoupdate of firefox that cant be disabled, they can pretty much put a virus on your computer and then release another update 5 minutes later that makes it like it never happened. they can pretty much do waht they want and play dump.
excuse me but i have important shit to do at work and im not going to jeopardize it with windows 10 and the new firefox that will fuck my shit and get me fired.
Colton Sanchez
my job is important to me, do you understand? i cant afford my computer restarting itself to install updates at the middle of my work with a tight deadline.
i also need my ram and resources, i will not tolerate windows using 2GB to take screenshots of my desktop every 5 seconds and trying to connect to like 200 microsoft sevrers.
and i will not tolerate firefox not letting me disable updates...and trying to do things without asking me.
fuck all of you. win7, waterfox masterrace. pirate for life and torrent everything on an HDD before they kill all the good old tv shows.

>WHY IS Jow Forums AGAINST UPDATING THEIR SOFTWARE? Because anything new makes them uneasy. They can't cope with change. It's a part of their condition.
Ian Butler
Jow Forums is filled with /x/fags. /x/ thinks anything new is out to get them. They would rather use a bug ridden system that hasn't received security updates for years than update.
William Kelly
can you name 5 new features you received in your last update?
Why would I update some software that gets worse after updating?
Andrew Howard
>firefox update break 99,9% of plugins in purpose >utorrent introduces adware with update >windows 10 is literally malware outside users control >windows 10 updates literally break your graphics drivers by trying to install wrong version >still uses android 4 because phones manufacturer hasn't literally released an update literally in years despite it being sold as flagship product originally
Just use 3rd Security software on winblows and update only that For Linucks it is OK to update because it less likely to damage your works.
Brody Miller
Its really the microsofts fault for teaching to be scared of updates because everything gets fucked up every time
Hudson Morris
Autists dislike change especially rapid change. So ironically autists interested in technology can often be very backwards and stuck in the time frame in which their interest in technology became a manifestation of their autism. Stallman being stuck using 1970s era technology is a classic example.
updates often break things or change things to the point of being completely new software vs the understandable original, not comfy, understandable, vs bloated garbage and menu changes that create a new learning curve. And worst case, the update completely breaks the program
>Dont fix it if it arent broke is the best advice ever Then you end up with old systems riddled with known vulns and eventually a cryptolocker because those systems are broken even if you don't comprehend. Professionals have backups, disaster recovery plan, rollback plan and enough redundancy to mitigate downtime in case an update fucks up something.
Logan Bailey
>update Firefox >hogs even more RAM than before >performs even slower >fucks up the UI even more >actually REMOVES features I've had previously >have to be careful whether the new version is even compatible with all my addon versions Why bother if 60 ESR is still displaying websites correctly?

A bug isn't a reason not to update, it's a reason to wait until the dust settles before applying an update.

If your gaymes can't work around it then your gaymes are shit.

I'm only against updates when the developers actively make their software worse.

Owen Miller
poor fucking guy...
Evan Rodriguez
It was literally a bug 2 months ago.
Easton Powell
Why update if it ain't broke?
Brandon Hill
>fixed in less than a day Wew.
Andrew Ross
Well if your bank hired competent people of non-pajeet ancestry unlike you, they might have a chance.
Anthony Myers
if its not broken dont fix it
long time ago I updated my android phone to a newer version of android and several features that were there before were gone, also happened with some app. Such restrictions with version of software happen quite often and I dont like it
Oh remember how long time ago in firefox if you enter the url and click go button (there used to be one) it would send a request, and you could click it as many times as you want it would continue sending requests to load a page, it wasnt particularly useful but had a calming effect, and in those days when internet was slow it did somehow made pages load faster than just clicking one, and fucking faggots cocksuckers at pozzila, made so you can only click once and wait for response from web page, fuck those cunts
Benjamin Hughes
It still broke addons and was annoying as fuck.
Michael Richardson
Literally no one still uses utorrent 2.2.1 or otherwise.
It’s just one troll shilling for fun to make people mad. Same guy pretends qbitorrent stalls torrents.
Jordan Turner
No, it took them a week.
Anthony Nguyen
One day for a workaround, one week for the full fix.
Aiden Lopez
ff quantum nuked a bunch of add-ons and made it impossible to rewrite them because they were desperate to become a third rate chrome clone. Soon they'll fall for manifest 3 to continue their myopic quest to be "compatible" with the botnet so enjoy updating for those sweet sweet malware injecting ads you can't block anymore.
Noah Campbell
you had to do the workaround manually and could not install new addons from mozilla's website until it was fixed.
Colton Perry
No, they did it because XUL addons were insecure and would break anyways thanks to the engine revamp.
Asher Murphy
because: >changelog: >added localization for 3rd world language that only 30 people are going to use >fixed this very obscure bug that would cause the first letter to be 3px bigger when launching the app with exactly 34% battery and during full moon >updated the 'about' information >dropped the support for x devices >added a patreon link >54mb also fuck devs who don't provide meaningful changelogs like "bugfixes/optimizations", so pretty much 90% devs on android. they can suck my dick, i'm not going to update unless i know that i'll benefit from new features.
Thomas Jenkins
Oh no, not a vulnerability in my video player! Hackers will get all my monies now!
Because updates remove features and introduce bugs.
