Making FF ask me everytime a website wants to use flash was simultaneously the best and worst decision I've made

RedRiderX

@Ktash Maybe I was wrong about the rest of world, but BB was 15% market share in Canada last year

MBraedley

@Ktash That's just shipments, which isn't a good indication of actual usage.

and it probably ignores enterprise.

RedRiderX

@RedRiderX Er, end of 2013

I should find newer numbers

Fluttershy

Way to go, internet! Faith in humanity increased by 1.

Ktash

12:05 AM

@MBraedley Most of the other stats I find are about internet usage, which is also not a great indicator. But the highest I've seen it is ~1%

MBraedley

Who wants to play HotS with me and my brother?

Ktash

Looks like Canada internet usage for mobile devices lists BB at ~2.5%

Like I said, not a great indicator either, especially given the enterprise nature of BB, but I haven't found more accurate stats

RedRiderX

Yeah me either

I don't feel like spending $4,500 to settle this debate

Ktash

I just had to do a lot of research for this at my last job, and every indication I could find was that BB was struggling, and no one had high hopes for them to recover

Also, there was not a lot of hope for Windows Phone (which I like more than I wanted to) or for new OSs like FFOS

@RedRiderX haha yeah, definitely not worth that

RedRiderX

@Ktash Well yeah I can't say many people are hopeful, but there is a very devoted fan base ready and willing to pick up a smartphone with a hardware keyboard.

Think of them like Leafs fans

Ktash

12:12 AM

Sorry, not a hockey fan :P

But yeah, that's understandable. And there are a few Android ones, but they are crap

@Lazers Glitch is probably the most unfortunate game name for our tagging system

Yuuki

@murgatroid99 glitch-the-game?

Or just glitch-game?

It would pop up whenever someone types "glitch" into the tag box.

Fluttershy

@Yuuki We don't want there to be a glitch tag specifically for glitches though, I don't think.

Yuuki

12:37 AM

Then we should put a warning in the tag description for glitch.

Frank

@Fluttershy No, because it's not useful for classification. It's way too generic to be useful. Same as bug.

Is there any kind of debate involving if we should or should not allow minecraft crash questions?

Ktash

@Ender No. They are crappy a lot of the times, yes. But they are on topic

Plus, not allowing them won't help. They will still get asked, it will just mean closing more of them

And we close them. As unclear or duplicates or whatever we need to close them as.

The questions are bad, not the topic

On the brightside, I think the increase in them likely means we're becoming more well known lol

(Or that minecraft is getting buggier. One of the two)
