Posting from a new account, as this is apparently so controversial it will probably get me shadowbanned.
Seriously, just how humorless and gullible do you have to be to not understand that this was an April Fools' joke?
First, BSoDs are specific to Windows OSes. OK, fair enough, non-tech people might not know this. But...
"Take a photo of a calendar, focusing on today's date."
If after reading this line you still don't understand that this is a joke, I feel sorry for you.
The "rand() % 1000 == 13" probably causes the "BSoD" every time for the OP because the RNG is not properly seeded, which is the real problem here.
I don't condone this joke or the developers' response, but I'm not going to blame them for anything either. The negativity in this thread, however...
- setpatchaddress 12y agoThis is cruelty, not humor. Look at this from the perspective of a different profession: Why is it a problem if I'm a doctor and I put a non-lethal poison into every few flu shuts on April 1st? Because April Fools. This is how people who don't program view this sort of thing. You can say that you feel sorry for them, but, in reality, you lose, because they'll never trust you again. And they shouldn't.
