FOSS complaining
Show content

if a FOSS project expects me to manually review every single changelog before updating then it should say that with a big red warning label right on the main page

don’t just lay that trap for me and then act like I was supposed to know all along

(thinking about Arch and Neovim plugins specifically)

@mira it’s kind of a noob trap because at some point your setup will be broken by updating, because you didn’t know that you needed to read the changelog

and at that point you might be dependent on the whatever-it-is, but you might also not have the energy to read the changelog before every update. so it suddenly and unexpectedly creates a lot of problems for the user
