I am very suspicious of the -26% Apple marketshare. It makes me feel like there’s more to this than it seems at first. There’s no way 26% of Apple users stopped using Apple devices within a year.
Edit: maybe it could be caused by a large user base increase that shifted the demographics, but this fast? And the PornHub bans across US states started only this year for the most part if I’m not mistaken, so it shouldn’t affect this data?
Is anyone working at a FOSS and federated alternative to pornhub?
The problem with the federated model for porn is that it’s easier to get away with hosting illegal content.
I feel like the math in this headline is off.
the age of linux is cumming upon os.
ok this is really bad , ill see myself out…
Not what the distro meant by release
I have nothing constructive to say. I laughed too much at this.
I switched from Windows to Linux then went back to Windows cause of mutliplayer games and I’m not sure I’m a fan…like its kinda annoying having to udpate my programs individually.
?
Sudo apt update
Sudo apt upgrade
Voilà
I think they meant they’re not a fan of Windows and having to update those programs individually…
I don geddit
My apologies, this data is misleading. Most of the new traffic is actually just me mass downloading and data hoarding porn across thousands of VMs. Whenever I need to rub one out I ssh into one of them and watch it that way. Keeps it off my main machine and keeps my browser history clean.
Just open private browser window.
Rube Goldberg machine but for masturbation.
Instructions unclear. Penis stuck in fan.
Yeah but your ISP knows someone at your address is consuming a metric ton of corn.
🌽
Firefox have 8 percent on desktop that’s great
New gens are ruining everything - “vertical video” gen-z, really?
Y’all need a spanking.
I’m sorry about my generation. Pretty ashamed about the vertical video thing
Ok I have problems with these cutoffs for ages. My wife is 57 (1967) and is very definitely a gen x’er.
Same here, but it also depends per country since well average life spans, average age to buy a house, average age to start a family etc all have an impact on when a new generation starts.
As someone else said, they probably kept the original age bracket. I’d say it’s at least 5-6 years out of whack. Early Ys are starting their forties, late ones their thirties.
Those gen y and x ages are whack
Also, I hate zoomers and their vertical videos too
Yeah, idk what tf those age brackets are, it’s like they haven’t updated them since they first set up the graphics for the statistics.
Yep totally agree. And I also like boobies.
Kinda bummed they grouped the fetish all in one category. Thought we were getting weird here
maybe they’re looking for new ones lol
… is it possible that these uneducated plebeians just put “fetish” in the search?
(jk)
I’m sorry. There are people who go to an adult hardcore porn site and then type in “Suitable for work”??? Like do you think the site wouldn’t get flagged at your work?
If a step-coworker gets stuck it better not be physically or it’s NSFW. If it isn’t physical, they just get fired bcs their ass isn’t doing the job.
Maybe they’re just hoping to find a sexy fuckable whore ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m somewhat proud my generation is actively seeking out parody porn. Those videos tend to be higher budget and more sex positive (less gonzo misogyny).
Edit: well, should caveat that by saying relatively less misogynist
Year of the desktop
Pornhub is lowkey a very skilled tech company. Delivering a quality video platform on the scale they do is incredibly difficult.
Also obligatory: Year of the Linux Desktop! 🎉
Netflix but for horny people
“Netflix and chill” has lead me to believe those 2 Ven diagrams overlap quite a lot
Pornhub and get to it
“Netflix and chill” but with a distinct lack of chill.
Apart from hosting an ad service that served malware, and having their user database leaked more than once.
I made it to the final round of interviewing with them a couple years ago. I think it would have been interesting to work for them. They have PHP and even some Laravel in their stack.
Can’t believe they turned you down. Would’ve loved to hear about PH developer stories
I don’t like their company because they are also like the meta of porn in the sense that they bought up all their competitors and have made a monolith service
apparently: the same goes for its patrons; i’m sure i’m responsible for atleast 1 percentage point. lol
So, Linux doesn’t have a general icon and ChromeOS’s icon isn’t used, what could be an ideal icon/logo for the Linux Kernel, I wonder?
WhatsApp recently pulled support for some older iOS versions and devices, a lot of ppl threw them away and got Androids instead(as they should), I wonder if that’s related to iOS’s decrease.
Android devices dominate in a lot of countries, especially Asian countries, where our growth in those regions in the last few years has boosted Android’s user base.
I think the decrease is mostly due to this.
Tux. They could’ve just used Tux.
Some sort of arctic animal I would assume.
Probably Steam Deck users with that handheld device in one hand and their handheld device in the other.
That’s one horney Linux user
Is it finally the year of Linux?
(ง’̀-‘́)ง
My guess is the increase is due to two factors: Linux based vms scraping PH content to create tensor training models for nsfw AI image generators and individuals in the U.S. visiting behind a vpn that’s registering to the client as a Linux device. I’d visit the link but I’m not behind a vpn.
User agent logging is often done by running javascript locally on a machine, so the vpn would just pass the javascript to the local machine on which it would be run, so the data wouldn’t be effected that way.
Sometimes TLS fingerprinting is done to try to identify bots and not sure if bots would be included. They probably would be included because if they were blocked, then the javascript catching user would never be run on their machine, although I’m unsure of whether such bots would run useragent fingerprinting javascriot yo try to blend in or block it to avoid unneeded processing.
I don’t know why your browser would report itself as a linux browser just because it’s behind a proxy or VPN
Or, and hear me out, what if they actually have good engineers and know how to sanitise their analytics? And at the risk of sounding crazy, what if the reason that the Linux share is rising is because it’s genuinely becoming more popular?
Crazy talk, right?
