There's a lot of blame being thrown around, and I think it's all merited, but an inordinate amount needs to be on the users. I don't know how many times I've heard things like: "I don't think I'll update to Windows 10" or "That update has been nagging me for months" or even security advocates saying "Windows 10 is a privacy nightmare, I'll stay on 7". Being on the latest secure upstream isn't a nicety, it's what you have to do if you want any semblance of a secure environment. If you don't like upstream, jump to another.

It's definitely not end-users either. There's a grocery store that just went up nearby that I saw Windows XP splash screen on when one of the cashiers rebooted. No joke, new store, Windows XP computers that handle money. Microsoft may have cultivated this nightmare, but it seems everyone wants to live in it.

It's really weird how for a long time stuff looked like Chrome with everything getting the smooth corners everywhere and then they gave the Developer Edition theme which had angles everywhere and now we get the Edge/Chrome all-in-one treatment. If I didn't know any better, I'd think Firefox is just throwing different UIs at a wall and seeing what sticks.

I do wish cargo packages were namespaced a la Github. Squatting on usernames is one thing, but package and project names are often the only way you hear about something. cargo react-svg might be a terrible project or a good quality one maintained by facebook, but you wouldn't know from the name. Because of the name, it'll be at least somewhat downloaded if that's a common need. It makes grouping by org difficult too.
