Wait, we are taking a microblog shitposting community's content seriously?

Can’t wait for Elon to force grok to release 2099

Time to relax. Sashi is a shitposter.

Really? You’re lucky.

you just lack the super intelligence needed to fully understand it.

Quickly followed by grok 88.14,last major version ever, all following versions being just 88.14.x.

Same with Apple skipping iPhone 9 and ditching the S model name for spec bump releases so they have a higher number than the Samsung Galaxy S models and then Samsung went straight from S10 to S20 as a response.

Amateurs. I just pushed my 20261001 update yesterday.

Followed by the hotfixes 20261001.1700, 20261001.1720, 20261001.1755, 20261001.1805, 20261002.0940 and 20261002.1010

That's how you got stupid Xbox names as well.

It's not really stupid. Even Linux versioning doesn't mean anything. Linux 6.0 isn't a bigger change than Linux 5.19. It actually feels more like a corporate thing that it is easier for them to have a consistent versioning increase and consistent release schedule. Major changes don't need to be tied to a major change in number because, how do you decide what a major and minor change is? Do you need to group up changes and make the user wait so it becomes a new major version? Google also experienced fragmentation with Android in the past and likely wanted to avoid it. Because if you tie up specific stuff to specific browser versions, some people would want to keep a specific major browser version causing fragmentation. You can just dictate a specific end date of a feature support rather than a browser number to avoid fragmentation.

Reddit had 'data is beautiful' but this feels more like 'data is rubbish'
