I understood perfectly and I bet a lot of others did too. I bet you understood it. So, mostly or completely successful use of the word to inject the desired thoughts into others’ heads. So, the word works that way, even if it sounds awkward to you.

I’m on my second Dell XPS 13 Developer laptop which comes with Ubuntu pre installed. I loved the first one but played too much Minecraft and wore out a couple of keys. I had it long enough that decent replacement keyboards were hard to find so I got a new laptop from the same line. I love the second one even more. My brother, also a Linux-using software professional, made the initial recommendation, so there is at least one other person who liked this line.

I assumed this was the case and that any reporting on “users” and the “historical” nature of their short time to 10M users was 100% BS.

I think the strategy is great and I would do the same that they are doing, except I’d leave out the bit where I crowed about reaching 10M users in 7 hour or 100M in a few days. It’s too obviously a lie supported by the ability to leverage one network into another.
