The Firefox browser itself tells me there is an update. An update could be interesting to read about here and if so I think it makes sense to make the case with the highlights. Like, why did you find it interesting enough to put here?
Personally, I'm pretty inclined to downvote any post that is a link without a short summary or context. I appreciate that's not everyone.
And personally I think it's important to say why you downvote. The poster can choose what to do with that information and I've got no expectations for them to change how they do things
Why? The summary of Firefox release notes is the Firefox release notes.
I agree there should be a summary for other things, esp. videos or long articles, but for release notes, they're already generally in a condensed format. This one is a few pictures with a couple sentences explaining what's new in them.
Why post it here? I personally don't think every Firefox release is interesting enough to post to the !technology@lemmy.world channel so when a release is interesting enough to post here I figure there are reasons and that they are easy to note along with the URL.
I suspect most people have some feelings are the same because I suspect most people would be unimpressed if the channel included every minor release of everyone's torch apps. The exact reasons something is interesting varies for people. For some people anything Firefox might be enough. For others it might only be interesting when they do something big like trying to come up with a new solution for tracking ads. Since its a community, I kind of think a good post needs to include the highlights of what is meant to be interesting to help out the others in the community, especially if they might not naturally see the same things as interesting
What's new:
And honestly I'd stop there and say "and more"
Also, the summary of the release notes is not the release notes. You cared about every dot point in those release notes equally? There are no larger broad changes?
