One guy is "Chromium browsers"

The other is "Firefox"

They're agreeing on the same version numbers.

Once version numbers get this high and you have stable multi year development, you might as well switch to “2024.1” style versioning.

I'm not sure there's much benefit if you reach numbers around 2024.20.

Mostly so you can look at someone’s system and immediately know how many years old their software is.

Does it work with LTS versions though?

2022.27 LTS seems out of date but can be up to date.

Firefox is gonna wash that hand immediately after that.

I don't know, the way Mozilla's going...

I try (really hard) to not be as critical to them as I want to :).

They are doing great work & rapid/up-to-date progress, maybe a bit of money would benefit FiFo & T-birb ... and we might have not donated enough (or aren't donating on a regular basis).

But ads are a systemic problem, and we want to use that system (internet).

We are being developed into a ferengi society.

I wish GNOME and Fedora would do this. They’re already so close!

Meanwhile GCC and LLVM were doing this for decade
