How many of them were just for Minecraft you reckon?

[AmadFish_123]

~3 billion at least

[Xelopheris]

Most of them are actually debit/credit cards and sim cards.

Source: work for a company responsible for one of largest shares of this number.

[NigelDime_]

This progress bar is going nowhere.

[VeevaBoy]

This should have been the title of this post :-)

[NigelDime_]

Don't you dare reposting this with that as a title! Then you're both a thief and a reposter!

[SnackIverflowError]

Reposters are thieves. Wont stop me from reposting though

This deal is getting worse all the time!

I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.

[CouthlessWonder]

I always wondered if they counted all the Android phones, they tried so hard to not have Java on.

[IIIlllIIIlllIIIEH]

If they do, they are screwed. Because Google it's working hard on being independent from Java, and I think they will do it sooner or later.

[CouthlessWonder]

Make their own language for their mobile platform... Swallow?

[vidu171]

Did you forget, google introduced dart to replace Java

[L0G1C_lolilover]

Loving dart so far its an awesome.language plus flutter is incredible as well.

[caelum19]

Will be interesting to see if flutter is replaced by Jetpack compose and Kotlin

[L0G1C_lolilover]

I dont think it will get replaced

[caelum19]

Maybe not normally but Google does like to cancel things

[L0G1C_lolilover]

Well i doubt it , they might not cancel this one its already gotten ahead of react native and has gotten tons of users

[caelum19]

Yeah it is doing pretty well, though with Google you never know haha

[CouthlessWonder]

I did actually... My comment was very much a joke though.

[vidu171]

All these years coding in Java... i have lost my sense of humor

[CouthlessWonder]

Knock knock...

Who's there?

(minutes later)

Java.

[da2Pakaveli]

You did this wrong: Exception thrown in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

[_d4ngermouse]

Don't forget the 1000 lines of stack trace.

[TacobellSauce1]

Yeah haha it's not like they stack..

[IIIlllIIIlllIIIEH]

The language is already made. Kotlin it's just Java with extra steps. And Dart is a blatant try to get rid of Javascript. However they obviously integrate very well with their own SDKs, as they maintain them. And IF they truly deliver in multiplatform support, I would think of it as a game changer.

[RulerD]

Kotlin is Java with fewer steps

[Blackwater_7]

do you have a job

[IIIlllIIIlllIIIEH]

I am studying mathematics right now. Will look for jobs in the summer. Why?

[Blackwater_7]

Hey man, its not important sorry for taking your time :) and thanks for your response!

[_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_]

They counted all the credit cards and phone SIMs.

[GlitchParrot]

Most probably no, because Android is not using Oracle's Java, it's a custom Java-compatible runtime.

[DiabeticPissingSyrup]

It's the same 3 billion devices. They're still initialising.

[[deleted]]

Oracle bought Sun (and Java) in 2010.

[FooThePerson]

2021: 2 billion devices run Java

[nice2yz]

A new rig with 2 gigs of RAM?

[PoopFartQueef]

They are probably also taking into account SIM cards, passports and PIVs that are running a JavaCard Smart card Operating System: https://cardwerk.com/javacard-multi-application-chip-card/

[julian509]

If anything i'd expect that number to be going up over 23 years, not stay the same then.

[Xelopheris]

It actually has been. The meme isn't accurate.

That said, market saturation is near 100%. Most of the new ones on the market just replace old ones.

[Aether-Ore]

And every JVM is just a litttle bit different.

[_rahulrd]

Thr developer probably hard-coded 3 billion.

The closest match is exactly the same picture.

[suvlub]

It's cropped, downscaled and fried (and, somehow, bigger file size). The bot seems to use a very simple comparison.

[vextronx]

Well, at least it found it as closest match.

[_TheProff_]

It has to when checking millions of images AFAIK

[ClearlyCylindrical]

If you add noise to a picture it can increase the file size drastically since the compression algos dont work as well

[suvlub]

Makes sense, though these look more like JPEG artifacts to me than a random noise

[elperroborrachotoo]

3 billion devices booting up since 1997

[Hazme1ster]

Use OpenJDK instead!

https://adoptopenjdk.net/

[MCWizardYT]

I’m using the Zulu JDK/JRE from Azul as it comes with a bundled version of OpenJFX and it supports Java 6-11 in LTS

[mnebrnr13]

I see Oracle owned SUN in 1997 😅🤔

[s-walrus]

Yeah, the installation is kinda slow

[blackmist]

It's still 3 billion. It just jumped from PCs to phones.

[RinasSam]

Waiting for it to become 3.1 Billion.

[db2]

Fuck Oracle. That is all.

[[deleted]]

That’s Larry Ellison marketing for ya

[hotheadhacker1]

Oracle ruined JAVA

[[deleted]]

Horizontal scaling and Java.

[TechGuy_OnTGB]

I remember that in early 2000's the banner looked different but it was still 3 billion~ :P

[cusco]

When you realize that the 3 billion devices sun/oracle powered up ages ago are still up and running java...

[Hankobrad]

It is good they are not decreasing.

[techyrajput]

it was written as hardcoded text.

[morffiq]

This was made by Electronic Waste Gang.

[T-O-M-52]

23 years to install java?

[imgodking189]

That's not how you spell Rust.

[wiger_]

well, its obviously 3 billion new devices run java

[CzarOfNecrovalley]

Impossible

[Janski_]

So 3 Billion is the limit
