@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ Update culture is a malicious mindset emerging in a [capitalist](capitalism.md)
In software this process is a lot of times automatized and known as [autoupdates](autoupdate.md), but update culture encompasses more than this, it's the whole mentality of having to constantly keep up, update one's software, hardware and other products, it is part of [fear culture](fear_culture), [bullshit](bullshit.md) and [consumerism](consumerism.md). Normies get all neurotic when they haven't received their weekly updates that give them new content or fake sense of "[security](security.md)". The truth is updates break more things that they fix and make software progressively [shittier](modern.md). STOP FUCKING UPDATING EVERYTHING EVERY 3 SECONDS YOU IDIOTS. [Good software](lrs.md) is written once and works for hundreds of years without [maintenance](maintenance.md).
A typical example falling under update culture are [web browsers](browser.md) or proprietary [operating systems](operating_system.md) that strive for [bloat monopoly](bloat_monopoly.md).
A typical example falling under update culture are [web browsers](browser.md) or proprietary [operating systems](operating_system.md) that strive for [bloat monopoly](bloat_monopoly.md). Normalizing the practice of having to consume updates leads to the convenient opportunity for abuse of users: with the stuff you need you may be fed stuff you don't want.
Update culture is however not limited to computers or technology, hell no. It is the mood of the whole society and applies to things such as fashion, business, gossip, watching TV news every day, browsing social media or constantly updating laws, it is the acceptance and approval of living in a constant stress of having to extort extreme amounts of energy just to keep up with artificially made up [bullshit](bullshit.md), to race against oneself and others in a never ending artificially sustained race with no winners, just with extremely exhausted participants. Current system of law requires constant everyday maintenance that's extremely costly, law needs to be constantly remade and rewritten to reflect any emerging trend in society because it is so unbelievably complex and tries to encompass every single aspect of our society. Of course we eventually oppose any kind of formal law, however the kind of update culture law is yet orders of magnitude worse -- if we see law as a tool to serve society, this kind of law is an utterly shitty tool similar to a hammer that has to be repaired every second just to keep functioning.
