Wow they went from 1 user to 27. It feels like way more than 27 people

(I'm aware of what they meant, but it's incorrect in English)

Yes, every single English speaking country uses a period for decimals. And English Wikipedia requires it in their style guide.

Germany uses a comma, and you can check this by setting your phone to en_DE.

And they speak German. I'll trust the English countries on how to format numbers in English.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
