Comment on Firefox 145.0
Krudler@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoCan you not just click and read the web page? It seems to be all there.
The Firefox browser itself tells me there is an update. An update could be interesting here to read about, so make the case with the highlights.
Personally, I’m pretty inclined to downvote any post that is a link without a short summary or context. I appreciate that’s not everyone.
And personally I think it’s important to say why you downvote. The poster can choose what to do with that information and I’ve got no expectations for them to change how they do things

Why? The summary of Firefox release notes is the Firefox release notes.
I agree there should be a summary for other things, esp. videos or long articles, but for release notes, they’re already generally in a condensed format. This one is a few pictures with a couple sentences explaining what’s new in them.
What’s new:
And honestly I’d stop there and say “and more”
Why post it here? I personally don’t think every Firefox release is interesting enough to post to the !technology@lemmy.world channel so when a release is interesting enough to post here I figure there are reasons and that they are easy to note along with the URL.
I suspect most people have some feelings are the same because I suspect most people would be unimpressed if the channel included every minor release of everyone’s torch apps. The exact reasons something is interesting varies for people. For some people anything Firefox might be enough. For others it might only be interesting when they do something big like trying to come up with a new solution for tracking ads. Since its a community, I kind of think a good post needs to include the highlights of what is meant to be interesting to help out the others in the community, especially if they might not naturally see the same things as interesting
Also, the summary of the release notes is not the release notes. You cared about every dot point in those release notes equally? There are no larger broad changes?

Until it’s not, which Is the biggest problem that I have with so called “link aggregators”.
What is the use of a decentralized network of communities if all the material can still be nuked from outside?
Krudler@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Yeah well it is.
Just go click the link and stop bullshitting.

No I’ll just block you, I can’t stand dealing with petulant little turd bags like you.

How relevant are Firefox release notes after the subsequent release? That’s one resource I don’t mind not being archived.

Meant more in general. But yeah for release notes of an opensource product it might not be directly necessary.
