    As long as it works perfectly and it makes no security related headlines, i’m fine with running abandoned ware.

    If something stops working it’s time to find out the alternatives.

    Not every little tool needs weekly updates

      the finding out alternatives is the annoying part for me, you always have to be on some niche place online (eg lemmy) to discover them. that and ive used a lot of security sensitive abandonware i really wouldnt otherwise.

        Hackernews is usually reliable to see what the new hotness is. But yeah this is a frequent problem.

      That means Windows XP is perfectly okay as abandon ware, becuase it makes no security related headlines. :p (just joking!)
