Java is a bad actor. But I don&#x27;t get to choose to use it or not. If it was up to me I would never use java and its attempts to install malware on my machine, its habbit of bugging me every day with update pop ups, and creating security holes in my browser, etc. But unfortunately if I want to be able to work from home occasionally I need to have software chosen by my employer running on my machine. Putting it on some blacklist wouldn&#x27;t help.
