If they’re anything like me, it’s the old laptop that you’d install Linux on as an experiment.
And maybe that laptop was only ah… Semi-retired at the time.
Do you guys realize how much 40% actually is in a single year? That’s crazy. Don’t just look at the 5.1%.
I’m sure it’s heavily influenced by the Steam Deck, it being a great device for porn and all, but still.
Windows 11 not installing on “older” machines is big too.
Nice.
Would this data get screwed up by VPNs?
i doubt it. the user-agent is generated by the browser
Now I want to see the usage stats for e621.
In Hub we trust.
That’s all me ur welcome gais
OS statcounter seems to get to similar numbers, with significant regional differences. Which data source would be more repräsentative and reliable ?
Windows grew?
More wankers every year.
So what you’re saying is that there are more wankers on Linux nowadays!???
Maybe they’re just watching it for the plot.
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?
They said in the report that they have grown marketshare in Asia and Africa, as less people use apple in those regions the percentage dropped.
2024 was the release of iOS 17.4, when Apple allowed third party browsers to use their own engine instead of WebKit/Safari as a layer beneath. So it could very well be that Firefox Mobile and Chrome Mobile on iOS don’t get registered as iOS Device in this survey due to their user agent.
This is only for iOS and the user agent will still report the OS as iOS. For macOS it was always possible to run third party web engines.
Even if true, that would only explain the difference for mobile users and not the decrease in mac os use.
No browser uses a different engine yet (presumably because Apple only allows them to offer this in the EU, under draconian conditions).
I was gonna say, I haven’t heard of any rewrites yet, and it is probably GDPR or some similar regulatory compliance.
I don’t think third parties engine-based browsers are even available for iOS, given that Apple only allows that for EU users.
Is anyone working at a FOSS and federated alternative to pornhub?
Sounds like a legal and maintenance nightmare
A Foss and federated alternative to onlyfans is more achievable I guess, because pornhub nowadays has to verify the owner of the content.
A single instance is not federated by itself. It requires multiple instances to be considered a federation.
Just a little nitpick.
The problem with the federated model for porn is that it’s easier to get away with hosting illegal content.
Using something like PeerTube is potentially even worse because let’s say you unknowingly open a video where someone in it looks of age but technically isn’t. You as a user help propagate that content while you have it open. You’re not just downloading illegal content at that point. You’re actively sharing it to new people.
the age of linux is cumming upon os.
ok this is really bad , ill see myself out…
take my angry upvote!
Not what the distro meant by release
I have nothing constructive to say. I laughed too much at this.
So 2025 is the Linux on mobile year?!! 0.05% !
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.
Rube Goldberg machine but for masturbation.
Instructions unclear. Penis stuck in fan.
Kinky
Just open private browser window.
Yeah but your ISP knows someone at your address is consuming a metric ton of corn.
Shit man, are the ISPs running the sewers now too??
🌽
My man out here making the library of Alexandria for porn
