@stux about 15 times a day

i use arch btw

@rail_ haha okay, okay, makes sense 
@stux either when it notifies me or when I see a post being like "UPDATE NOW"

@stux It depends! Minor versions and security upgrades, as soon as I can, major releases, up to a year out (I have a Mac and iOS devices).

Apart from Mac OS 10.15/Catalina, which I lasted a couple of weeks on before jumping straight to Mac OS 11, because Catalina was terrible, and I was happy if it didn't hard crash each day, which was rarely.

@stux (For Mac OS major versions, I wait until the .4 or .5 release, when they've finally fixed most of the stuff they broke in the major release. Like, is this really necessary, to break so much in a first release?)
@stux Whenever I do something really stupid and everything is broken (so in other words: Quite regularly!)

@stux When I feel like it, but it's actually every evening before shutting down, so more often than it sounds like!

I actually updated this morning ~4½ hours ago, and there are already 21 updates waiting for me.

@stux

For #mastodon --- Unless it is a critical security update we'll wait a couple of days and assess what other issues may have been introduced in the update.

And only after we've tested the update.

@stux i check the changelog/patch notes a bit then i update
@stux
✅ When I read about a new update that will come available in the near future for my smartphone (and I like the new stuff), I go to settings-update like a hundred times a day and do that for weeks/months (just as long that it takes for the new update to install)
🤔😁
@stux If it's a security patch, I do it immediately. Other things can wait!
@stux
Well, most of my devices update by themselves. So my actions are usually limited to saying ok when I want to shut down or go to bed .
@stux I definitely interpreted this as "getting new devices" not "updating software on devices" oops
