having said that, I understand that tools do need to be updated to stay relevant with the problems that might change
or maybe not. maybe a tool should be built to solve a specific problem. and if that problem doesn't exist anymore, we can stop using it. maybe we shouldn't link livelihoods to the production / maintenance of these tools.
as someone who doesn't like the increasing levels of abstractions that are built over software, it was good to know that there are other groups who feel the same way.
found them through this article :

I too believe that it is possible to build computers / software that are useful for multiple decades without needing updates / abstractions
After watching many videos and listening to many podcasts regarding social engineering and doxxing, I'm so wary of sharing anything on social media.
Idk how much it helps in regards to OpSec, but I lose my peace of mind if I share anything PII.
Ignorance is bliss indeed.
My alarm clock has got to be the most underused piece of tech.
I set it up to ring one hour before I usually wake up. So that I can avoid the morning rush.
In the first few days, I used to wake up when it rings, turn it off, lie down in the bed for a few minutes and go back to sleep.
My body has adapted. Today I don't even remember waking up to turn it off. It just happened subconsciously :(
