  • I disagree with everything

    That’s alright. You’re not forced any way to accept my opinion. And, the same applies to me as well.

    but let’s focus on the quote here. It’s not that simple! I might use the software, and I would be interested in a new release if it had something exciting. But a lot of releases do not.

    Each of us have our own use case that may not align all the time. For example, I’m quite interested in literally every release of Nextcloud, Firefox,Flatpak, Docker, Invidious, Redlib and Nvidia (partially) open source driver, based on my own use case. I might not have the same level of interest in other OSS products.

    Level of “Interest in a software” is a subjective matter.

    The very fact that “software X version Y released!” is posted here signals to me that there’s something special that you are reacting to.

    The fact that an open source software, I’m interested in, is getting regular updates, and not getting abandoned is quite special to me.

    It’s clear to me that you are just release dumping here though

    Again, Thanks for your opinion.

    It contributes to the noise of the community, in my personal opinion.

    Just to be clear, unless there is a specific rule enforced in this forum, your opinion and my opinion are equally valid.

    (And in my experience, lots of people agree.)

    You don’t need to drag other in, just to prove your argument. Your own opinion should be good enough.





  • Sharing release log is not all about what “I” find as interesting. It rather to a notification to all other users of the software that a list of new features or big fixes are now available.

    Not all of us are actively tracking release cycle of tools we use.

    Each of us have our own use cases. What I might find trivial, another person who frequent this forum might find really helpful.

    If you are not interested in the same software or not intended to use it or not using it currently, feel free to skip the post.















  • Firefox relies on Google for its funding, so any browser based on Gecko relies on Google

    Google introduced Extension manifest v3 to effectively to kill/handicap AdBlock extensions.

    Mozilla, though getting funding from Google to make google its default search engine, officially decided to keep supporting Manifest v2.

    Adblockers are direct challenge to Alphabet’s ad revenue which is still their biggest cash cow.

    That speaks a valume about how much control google has on Mozilla decision making process.

    In general, for self-hosting, we hardly rely on remote service/server. The whole idea of self-hosting is to shun dependency on external service/server, and run everything on your own hardware and network. So that every aspect of the service is in your control. I don’t think self-hosting comes with much risk, unless you make your service available on Internet.
