TFA is about how GNU/Linux systems being deployed right now are not Y2038-safe.
Windows applications have been safe from this issue by default starting from VC8.0 (VS 2005), macOS users since 10.7.
And to be fair Linux itself has used 64b time_t on 64b machines from the start (and since 5.6 — last year — has also migrated i386 to 64b time_t[0], though a few issues will remain forever).
