- cs702 3y agoThanks. Yes, you're right, sometimes "treadmill" is used pejoratively to describe forced upgrades that otherwise would be unnecessary. I was referring to the fact that we are all voluntarily installing security updates and/or improved versions of the software we use, year after year.
- halJordan 3y agoFwiw i did not understand your original comment as pejorative, and thought it was a well done turn of phrase
- ahartmetz 3y agoFWIW, I did pick up the pejorative connotation at first, but then realized it probably wasn't intended that way due to the complete lack of other negativity in the post.
- gloryjulio 3y agoIt's hackernews. I would recognize that this is in a joking manner
