I'm sure they actually had new features…

Tell me about it. I look at all these random updates that get pushed to my mobile phone and they all pretty much have that kind of fluff in the description. Apple/Android should take some steps to improve this or outright ban this practice. In terms of importance to them though I imagine this is pretty low on the list.

I have dreamed about an automated LLM system that can "diff" the changes out of the binary and provide some insight. You know give back a tiny bit of power to the user. I'll keep dreaming.

Slack's Mac app release notes [1] rotate a few copy pastes, here's the one that shits me the most.

> We tuned up the engine and gave the interiors a thorough clean. Everything is now running smoothly again.

Yeah nah mate, if every release is the first release where everything is running smoothly, I'm not going to believe it this time either.

Makes me wonder if the team has some release quota to fill and will push a build even if nothing meaningful has actually changed.
