why do i need to update the app so i can see changes. Whats the point of a change log then? I have auto updates off cause it a hassle to revert back to an earlier version if I dont like the changes. I know for a fact the ig update is for their new stupid map feature and AI shit. I will not update unless it stops working completely. Is it so hard to say what specific bug was fixed and what exactly do you mean by performance.
why cant it be detailed like this
Hey, Chime? You can work on your creative writing when the changelog is done.
Also, it seems to have been written by an arrogant 19 year old. Everyone knows what a cornucopia is.
Sounds like ai slop changelog lol
I find it deeply offensive that an app could suggest I may not know the word “cornucopia.” I wouldn’t give a shit if it was the only app I could use to pay my bills; if it at any point suggested that I didn’t know a word as common as “cornucopia,” I would delete it immediately, leave a 0 star review, and post the offense to a community like this.
And just to be clear, the bar for how uncommon a word would have to be in order for it not be offensive is way higher than cornu-fucking-copia.
“Terpsichorean.” That’s a word I wouldn’t be offended if they thought I didn’t know it. Or maybe “legerdemain.” I know both of those words, but I wouldn’t be offended.
Hmm, those are cool
Terpsichorean - “pertaining to dance” Legerdemain - “someone who is particularly skilled with one’s hands in the use of conjuring tricks”
That was the most upsetting of all of the examples. How condescending (GoOgLe iT). What an ass.
You expect them to admit:
-
Implemented more aggressive collection of personal data to sell to advertisers.
-
Advertisers of medical and beauty supplements are now suggested to your teenage daughter if she deleted her picture minutes after not receieving likes.
-
Users who advocate for neonazi and genocidal idologies now get suggested to each other to better promote and organize which returns higher profit of targetted advertisements as their usage time and activities increase together.
-
As part of our new monitoring and speech policy, users are now allowed to use the word retard, removed, f-word, tranny, and n-word with hard R without their posts getting flagged or reviewed which allows for better targetted advertisements and higher revenue for the Zuck.
-
Data collection now includes geophraphical tracking of your friends and intrests of people you follow giving higher revenue for shareholders.
-
Implemented analysis of background data collection of users usage and screen time, which gives higher profits per click to our targetted adveretisers.
does lemmy.world not allow bitch? lol thats funny
or is it something else like cunt
Censorship of words is the dumbest thing to me. People simply change the word. Keep playing R-worded whack-a-mole lmao.
lmao…! Yes Lemmy censored my comment but I hope I dont get banned for it. I was mocking facebook content policy changes which the Zuck implemented to lick Trump’s removed which was part of his $25Million settlement to avoid repercussions for banning his account back when Biden was in Office.
i cant wait for both their downfalls !!

The obvious answer is there’s no human at the helm recording changes, it’s just the next build. You’ll take it and you’ll like it.
Or that the person writing the changelog is in marketing and knows that end users will be seeing this as communication directly from the company. Marketing people tend to foam at the mouth when they see a chance to “connect with their users”.
Your hypothesis is confirmed by “Because nothing says Fall like financial progress.”
Right, like I said, no human at the helm
I can understand a banking app such as Chime* wanting to obfuscate whatever bugs or potential exploits they’ve come across and patched - to prevent users on older versions from being targeted; but the rest of those examples are utterly bullshit.
I put forward Duolingo as another egregious example of this bullshit:
People still use duolingo?
This sort of shit ought to be banned.
We made our interface SUCK! Can you change it back? NO!
FUCK YOU
We improved our tracking algorithms to more accurately monitor your every move.
We found an unpatched microphone exploit that let’s us listen in on all of your conversations.
- more ads
- more pointless notifications
- taken out that one thing you actually liked and put it behind a paywall
The meal planning app that I use got bought out by Samsung and they did this. Put a load of ads in and then advertised a “+” version that got rid of ads. The ads were just advertising the “+” feature. 12 months later they said they were going to remove the ads for everyone.
Facebook is one of the worst:
The app must be so fast that it has transcended to a higher plane of existence if it gets faster every update.
OMG, thank you! Until now I thought I was the only person to be fucking annoyed by this shit.
We are here. Dozens of us!
I would rather no change log than the LLM generated fall thing… that was a waste of time to read.
just trust us bro, no spyware in here, bro.
Patch notes:
- A bunch of stuff you won’t like it need
“performance improvements and bug fixes”
… which is also almost verbatim what it says at the bottom of the “good” example…
… in a addition to a link where they explain their “improvements and bug fixes” in greater detail without character limits. So yes it is a “good” example.
For apps with generic update messages that also have source control and changelogs available: check to see how often the updates are just a manifest version bump and nothing more. Way greater than zero.
Most version revs for apps are just to reset review count and bury negative reviews with “review of an older version”.
It’s all gamification of walled gardens. Walled gardens that need to die.
Is that an iOS thing? On Android versions don’t reset reviews, and there is no “review of older version” message.
Play store does the same game. Google always sucks worse these days, sadly. Not pro-Apple, just use Linux.
I’ve never seen that happen, in fact bad reviews about problems in my apps keep being shown at the top of the list, even though the problems were solved years ago and the reviews are about a very early version.
That Chime one is the sloppest AI slop I’ve seen today.
