Agreed, although I believe the end goal of my comment was that after leaving the store, the term "Android" is completely forgotten, whereas "Apple" is almost a household term because you see them everywhere in pop cultur

Of course! And by digging deeper, we can also establish that cellphones are popular, and that electronics are also popular. It's going the other way (away from generality) which lessens popularity, since you're targeting something

Again, your definition of popularity is different than mine, but either way my post still refutes his point about the declining userbase. > No, what I meant was, people no longer think of IRC as the tool to use to talk about projects and

EFnet is a single entity in the exact same way that Slack is. All channels belong to only their service. Introducing yet another chat service only adds another place to the list. https://xkcd.com/927 It's also nice tha

fwiw, this post has a good list of all the binaries included in the systemd project, and their reliance on PID1 or the systemd (systemd-init) binary (as they use the API). https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9517040

To be fair, the numbers you're stating are for the entire systemd package, which is like comparing the entire Qt library to a single application. Single out the init management portion of systemd (and journald since it's a depende
