As long as the updates are tested, and as long as one can roll back quickly, higher frequency can be higher reliability.

i think only security updates need a high tempo

everything else should be slow, like monthly

seriously, discord is asking me to update every other day

i doubt there is one security reason for it in a month, but the sooner it is deployed the better

good quality rolling release linux distros and even semi-scheduled ones like Ubuntu and Debian let you distinguish between them, hell, even windows

there is a cultural problem with this "devs are better than users at deciding on updates" in my opinion

users should not be doing upgrades except at most monthly and when it actually makes a difference to security and/or stability

systems that are down aren't updating tho

xactly - I think the fix requires booting to safe mode. 👀🤔🥸 so I guess you fix it and then resume standard operations in >unsafe< mode 😆 I don’t think that term was vetted by the MS marketing team!

They obviously weren't tested, then. If the test system went down due to the change, it never should have gone to production.
