      Nah, this bullshit is progress.
      The root of this problem has always existed. Exploits have always been there, mistakes have always been there. These things are fundamentally unavoidable.
      Acknowledging then, documenting them is new. Sensible disclosure is new. Companies paying for these bug bounties before they are publicly disclosed (so they can be fixed) is new.
      And it’s awesome. It’s security. It’s people working together for the betterment of everyone.

      It would be amazing if people didn’t make mistakes. But that isn’t possible.
      Openess, honesty and quickly remedying of issues is possible, and it’s laudable.

      So yeh, next time you get an annoying update that interrupts you’re workflow. Please understand the work and reason behind the update. You can still be pissed at the interruption, but please appreciate the human reason for it.

      Edit: I read “good” as “god”. Idk if that changes anything
