For those who don't remember the original of this was an ancient meme:

https://images1.memedroid.com/images/UPLOADED6/5002dd114f5cd.jpeg

Edit:

Just how old this meme is: OSX 10.9 mavericks was the first free mac update, it was released in 2013. The meme should be created before that. Iirc Windows 7 was the first win with forced and annoying updates, it was released in 2009. So this meme should be from that era, 11-15 years old.

Edit2:

I found the original post, my calculations were correct, this is from 2011: https://www.stickycomics.com/computer-update/

I use linux and I'm in the Not Again boat. Seems like everytime I update, something goes wrong

Use debian oldstable, usually 1-2 security updates each months, nothing else. If you need a newer app, install it as flatpak, they can't bork your system.

Stable is already ancient enough, but willingly running oldstable? I hope you've got a shovel ready
