What's LW's reason for staying on 18.5? Is it client compatibility? Not looking to grab pitchforks, genuinely curious.

Edit: Nvm, from https://lemmy.ml/post/11122503:

We do not have a hard date set for when we will be upgrading as of yet, as we have about 7 associated task items that go along with this upgrade for things we need to double-check and confirm there will be no breakage.

Wish they would go into more detail, but ya

I thought they were holding off because of the Federation issues from 0.19.0 (or was it 0.19.1?)

[–] Blaze@discuss.online 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

19.0 and 19.1 mostly, 19.2 fixed the issues.

The leading zeros aren't decorative. Don't just drop them.

In this context it's just faster to type, and not really ambiguous.

In this context it’s just faster to type

If saving six characters is so crucial, type ".0", ".1", and ".2". Massive productivity boost.

[–] FaceDeer@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You could also drop the "." in this case, saving another three.

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You could also drop the “.” in this case, saving another three.

Even better: drop the number.

[–] FaceDeer@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's one step too far, though. There'd be no way to distinguish them without that number.

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh, you were actually serious? I thought we're making dumb jokes here with claims of willy nilly dropping digits from a version number being significantly faster to type.

[–] FaceDeer@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago

Well, semi-serious. Doing this to "save characters" is obviously silly, we've spent way more characters discussing how to save characters than could possibly have been saved (and it's not a valuable "savings" regardless). But I was paying attention to the practicality, because IMO the best silly things are things you can take seriously.
