Some of us kept using OpenBSD (longer than they should’ve?) because of that and a few other related decisions. So who is everyone, in your meaning?

- dijit 9mo agoIt comes up enough that I am comfortable saying that it feels like “everyone” to the OpenBSD devs. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25950845 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25950845 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45798439 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45798439 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34667522 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34667522 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43144607 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43144607
- antirez 9mo agoYou can't read English like if it was a declarative logical language. It is obviously an hyperbole to say "everyone". It means "a lot of people". So why they didn't say "a lot of people"? Language uses hyperboles to make a point stronger.
