be careful on sites running java, kids

My computer tells me that there's a new java update ready for download.. I'm nervous.

No reason to be, seems the threat is so serious Oracle have abandoned their usual update schedule and rushed out a patch.

Seems there's another bug even for the newest, patched (up to now) update:

thanks for the heads up!

it's probably best to rid Java off your system altogether.

I can't I need it for running a couple of applications like a Go server and Minecraft.

i reckon minecraft is about 40% of why java is still a thing.
