Thanks for the mention. The philosophy behind Dusk is also eerily relevant to Chuck's problem at the moment. To quote my own manifest[1]:
When you operate a system, there is no problem that can arise that will make you powerless. Sure, you can have a hardware failure that hopelessly breaks your system, but at least you'll be able to identify that failure and know for sure that there is no software solution or workaround. That's control.
In this situation, of course Windows is to blame. But it could also happen with Linux, even if it's to a much much lesser degree.
If an update breaks your software in a way that is obscure enough to break only your software, then nobody else will fix your problem, and the system as a whole is too complex for you to dive in, making you powerless.
