in case you too want to cross-stitch it

One Billion? Seems a bit low? 🙂🤷‍♂️

@simonzerafa it's almost like one of these "how many errors can you find in a short single sentence"

@bagder

Indeed!

Is there anyway to qualify curl usage anyway?

Probably not? 🙂

@simonzerafa not with any precision, I do rough estimations based on products, apps, tools and devices I know run it, but it's very finger-in-the-air

@bagder I regularly run curl just for the heck of it, for no reason.

but much like spider georg, I suspect I'm a statistical outlier who should not be counted @simonzerafa

@bagder on a more serious note, and to be clear in my book this does not apply to curl, but I'm genuinely worried about software packages maintained by a single, un(der)paid developer that have by a cruel twist of fate become the de facto standard everyone uses for A Thing - the most high-profile example being Werner Koch and gpg, and his dire-ish financial situation in the mid 2010s
