Make no mistake, they will certainly try to capture the standard under their exclusive influence, just like Google has done with everything web related.

You should remember that there’s a lot of numbers between 0 and 1.4 billion - say, 100 million.
Why would they not pad their numbers if they cannot meaningfully be held accountable?
If padding with X users is projected to generate the most profit, then they are going to do just that.
I think the premise here is just wrong. It’s like asking would you drink seawater if it wasn’t salty - that’s just not going to happen, ever.
Most probably this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_(app)
Blind is an app that provides an anonymous forum and community for verified employees to discuss issues. Users on Blind are grouped by topics, company and their broader industry. The app verifies that the registered users actually work in the company through their work email and claims to keep user identities untraceable.
Clearly you have never used Arch Linux then - Arch Wiki is truly marvelous.
Likely the problem is more with people not willing to learn anything new, unless forced to do so, because that will break their routines and many are aversive of that.
“Temporary” in corpo-speak means permanent if it generates profit and there-were-some-technical-issues if it doesn’t, so this is just Felon Muskrat testing the waters.
Definitely agree with the sentiment in the comment.
Though, how ironic is it that this post might as well have been generated by a bot?
Literally a screenshot of a comment without attribution and with an account 2 hours old…
Perhaps something along the lines of: skip / I don’t remember?
I’m no C expert, so take this with a grain of salt, but wouldn’t any reasonable optimizing compiler remove the constant check at compile-time?
Of course, this is not guaranteed and depends on the compiler flags, so preproc should be preferred if compile-time is desired.
I think she forgot the “/s” from her bio.
I mean, no sane person would use this corporate buzzword salad as their bio, right?
In this particular case, you could say that the real unicorns were the human users.
I’d dare to say people don’t choose Windows, it is forced on them by having it preinstalled and that seals the deal for most. Your average Joe Sixpack would likely not even notice they are using Linux, since most just browse the internet and the major browsers are the same for both.
Well, Valve is a privately held company with a management that has a longer term vision than the next quarterly profits, so there’s that. Make it public and let the MBAs in and it’ll become shit in no time, which I sincerely hope will never happen.
The cynic in me screams that this post is to stir up FUD because someone at BigSocial is shitting their pants right now… :D (/s?)
But yes, you have some valid points but stretching too thin is not going to get us anywhere and will just result in people leaving due to lack of content. Remember that divide and conquer is a valid tactic too, so having many small instances isn’t going to magically shield us from Bad Things ™.
Those two are not mutually exclusive, so both could be used at the same time.
It is with great schadenfreude that I welcome these news.
Don’t forget that the real migration has not even started, assuming there is going to be one - one week to go for that to begin.
The best part in all of this is that the real shit has yet to hit the fan - 9 days to go.
So… this is what hell was referring to all along?
