since i don't really worry about this sort of thing, can someone give a worst case scenario that would happen from these updates?

can someone even give a moderately bad scenario?

no it's more "i don't live in terror of the surveillance state because i have a sense of perspective about my place in the world" coupled with the fact that i don't really engage in activities that make me harbor any guilt

it is interesting that you compare spying on your computer to having a camera in a toilet, however

the naivete on display here is the belief that anyone in the government gives a good goddamn whether you're anti or pro anything at all

paranoia and guilt about the activities you engage in drives this mentality and is easily solved by not doing them anymore

stop making your computer be comparable to a toilet and you will feel a remarkable change come over your attitudes about the world

do whatever and if you're innocent + someone wants to gently caress you over in a black helicopter then uninstalling some updates wont save you anyway

but maybe take them off in principle, or, whatever.

weird porn on your computer doesn't make you anwar al-awlaki, sorry to break it to you

but using pornography does build up an overdeveloped sense of guilt, so maybe stop doing it?

thats what im saying

especially if you live somewhere sodomy is illegal, like the united states til 2003

of course a husband could certainly view pornography while still fertilizing their wife's fields with sacred seed, but the consumption of such media may be considered adultery or subject to further regulations

once again, this all hinges on the premise that the government would be looking at you

you aren't a political dissident or a suspected terrorist or a spy in 1960s west germany they're looking to turn, you just use pornography and it is destroying your sense of reality

stop using pornography
