  • When I wrote that I was imagining something more significant like a code refactor,

    Again, a code refactor is not a change in public API and thus does not constitute a semver major bump.

    I’d like to have written a more constructive reply, but with most of your comment consisting of explanations with arguments couched in I’m not interested enough to parse out what is what, sorry. Don’t know why you explain UserChrome.css to me.



  • I think you have a misconception about what Semver is. No, changing private interfaces does NOT increase major version - why do you think that Semver specifies that you must declare a public API? This would also mean any bugfixes would result in major bumps, but they don’t, because not every interface change is treated equally.

    You also skipped the actual question. What are all of Firefoxes interfaces? Is user flow itself an interface?

    That works for libraries, but applications? What is the interface you’re looking at for backwards compatibility? Towards websites, towards workflows, towards CLI arguments, towards ABI, or something else?

    There’s also the disadvantage of being perceived as moving slower than the competition. If Chrome is at v162 and you’re at v3, people perceive the version numbers to reflect the quality and development. Shouldn’t be the case, but it is.







  • No, he didn’t say “those”. He made a statement about commercial Linux games in general.

    When a normal person talks about a topic, they don’t have to continuously clarify that they still talk about the same topic, it’s assumed.

    He mentioned that he has a bunch of Linux native games. The commercial ones run worse compared to running under Proton. This isn’t complicated. Accept that you misunderstood and move on.

    No idea how you get to that from my statement that’s advocating to make unmaintained games free. 🤷

    Oh, now we interpret according to the intent of the author?
