curious: how do others use the words "update" vs "upgrade" in git commit messages?

Example:

"chore: update dependencies"

vs

"chore: upgrade dependencies"

Summary of AI results:

1. Use "update" when:

- minor changes
- Applying regular maintenance changes

2. Use "upgrade" when:

- new major

Sorry if I was unclear. Deactivating the GPU stuff in Edge does not enable screen sharing in other browsers. But most browsers have a setting to disable the GPU enhancement, which CAN help enabling screen sharing.

Although it sounds counterintuitive, this also solves the screen sharing issue with other browsers.😜
