You'd have to be in the top percentile. There's definitely less than 1% of the population scouring open cloud dumps for cool little treasures. I'm pretty sure less than 1% of people would even know where to begin doing something like that. Part of the issue of Lemmy is that I think people frequently grossly overestimate the tech literacy of the average person.

Its just his first day. We all uncompressed a file for the first time at some point.
