Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

There's no reason security updates can't be a total scam but also still be necessary. Just like a protection racket, if you don't pay the protection money, you will get beaten by some dude with a baseball bat. The solution is to go somewhere else where "protection" isn't really needed, at least nowhere near as much, or to get protection from someone who provides it for free to all in the community.
Security updates are free.
The only reason the ppl I pointed the op at exist doing them for two bucks a month is because after ltsc expires ms is gonna stop.
You’re literally in a place where protection is needed. A federated platform where you self identify as a person of interest.
