At the front of my mind lately is education around node/bitcoin core updates. Node running has become easier and more convenient but with convenience comes complacency. Its a ways off, but one day I can imagine a fork being accomplished by user-friendly node OSs simply pushing an update to core without many novice noderunners even noticing, or timely noticing. Maybe it's a naive concern but it's something I've been thinking about lately.

Totally agree with this line of thinking. With the App Store-like approach systems such as start9 and umbrel have taken, OCD folks like myself will instinctively feel compelled to run node updates if, for no other reason, simply to make the update notification disappear.
Additionally, I’ve seen some high signal folks in the space suggest that we should treat every core upgrade as an attack while other high signal folks produce reports on how many nodes are running old/out of date versions of core.
It can be confusing for sure.
(PS - please don’t read this as a criticism of start9 or umbrel. I absolutely love them…just using them to illustrate a point).
nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll is there an option like "ignore this update" or "dont remind me" to dismiss the update notification/badge
