@sodiboo@gaysex.cloud I don't think it applies much since last year, when Debian finally finished https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/64bit-time
But I did have to deal with Java being compiled against 32-bit time APIs on 32-bit systems just this last week, and was resolving an issue with people actively using those systems. So in a general sense, not all Linux systems are actually using it yet, and it still applies in that way.

@octylFractal@pony.social @sodiboo@gaysex.cloud this isn't a magic fix...it's required to at least rebuild your code against the new libraries, and will probably only work if your code is using only time_t or whatever and not doing dodgy things like explicitly managing it internally as a signed 32-bit int anywhere.
