    I found out a while back that one of their main contributors is absolutely unhinged but writes good code

    Any difference between this and coreboot?

    Can we stop doing the year.month thing ? I hate it, semver is superior in all aspects.

    Actually having major.minor.patch carries over information if the dev respects the spec...

    I strongly disagree :)

    CalVer is 100% accurate, conveys information that's highly related to what I want to know when I'm looking at a version number (how outdated is this information or software), and dictated by Pope Gregory the 13th.

    SemVer is only as accurate as the release manager is clairvoyant, conveys 0 information with a single version number, and is dictated by the marketing department.

    Then in the example you gave, the product isn't following semver. If there is no major feature, there should be no major number bump.

    I think we're both against poor semver but we have different solutions.

    There is no need for the RM to be clairvoyant, there are rules to semver :

    • Major : New feature breaking existing configurations
    • Minor : New feature that doesn't break existing configs
    • Patch : Security and bug fixes only

    The reason why I hate CalVer is you can't know if it's safe to update or not and if you have to expect to spend time fixing possibly broken configs... Also you can't gauge the activity of the project either. They could just as easily release stuff every 6 months and the project will feel just as active as another releasing features left and right...

    I have an old pixel book pro (or whatever their $1500 Chromebook was called) somewhere. I wonder if there is Libreboot support for it.

    EDIT: Looks like it. Not sure what to do with it, but cool that it's supported.

    Is that lib reboot? Or libre boot?

    A strongly anti-AI policy was added to a new file: AGENTS.md in lbmk. This is the most important change in the release.

    Found it's here https://codeberg.org/libreboot/lbmk/src/branch/master/AGENTS.md
