minus-square@satanmat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•9 months agoYep It is a tough decision…. On one hand you screw older devices; relegated them to second tier status and leave them abandoned and at risk On the other hand you have a more consistent install base and better support and the ability to drop older systems and their bugs. Someone gets screwed either way
minus-squareMudManlinkfedilink2•9 months agoYeah, but not the same amount or scope of “someone”, though. You’re saying you either make several hundred million devices into ewaste overnight versus “had to wait for a bit for the latest update to propagate”. Not the same scale of problem right there.
