  When I first saw this I didn’t realize it was for PornHub and was just stoked for the year of the Linux desktop lmao

    I think avenue Q said it best, “The internet is for porn”.

    Sure, PornHub is not the only thing you can do on the Internet. Some of the more formal studies are functionally run by marketing groups, who are likely more skewed to advertising demographics.

    Example: the fundamental backbone of the internet upgraded as part of the CERN Large Hadron Collider project construction, to distribute the massive amount research data being generated to scientists across the world - but Cloudflare doesn’t count that traffic when preparing it’s statistics)

    All I’m saying is: you could do a lot worse than PornHub as a research authority for trends in this subject.

  I’m curious why Chrome OS had such a big drop?

    My Chromebook self-destructed a couple years ago and nearly burned our house down. That thing also was the shortest lived computer I’ve ever owned.

  Year of the Linux Wank

    Upvoted you, then realised you probably didn't mean "privacy conscious Linux Wank" as referring to a type of person. Keep the upvote.

  Lots of jurisdictions are blocking the site now, necessitating VPNs to access the site.

  There’s probably a higher percentage of Linux adoption among VPN users.

    I run Windows but my VPN server is Debian.

      They most likely check based on User Agent, so you should still be under Windows for them

  Who tf is accessing the hub on a chromebook? Never seen an adult use one, so I sure hope it isn’t teenagers on their school laptop . . .

    Many young people grow into adults. Some of them keep their tech through multiple years. :P

  • LwL@lemmy.world ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Is there anything at all surprising about teenagers using what might be their only computer outside of their phone to access porn?

    source
  • PearOfJudes@lemmy.ml ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Have you ever seen any other adult access “the hub” on any operating system?

      oh, i’ve seen a few presentations start early in college

      source
    • saturn57@lemmy.world ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I was referring to seeing an adult using a Chromebook in general. Of course I haven’t seen another adult use “the hub;” it’s not like people use it in public.

    She’s not using it for porn (that I’m aware of) but my wife got a Chromebook with her last phone. Handy enough little thing.

    tipping points occur a lot earlier like at 25%, once we hit that it’ll be all over very fast.

    source

    • ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      This is very basic extrapolation of 22.4% yearly exponential growth. It’s a joke, at the end of 2039 we’d have an impossible market share of 107 percent(…age points to distinguish from the 22.4% figure’s unit).

  OS/2 Warp still doing numbers!

  those numbers do not add up to 100% again?

  source

  • HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    change in share, not total share.

    source

    • jayambi@lemmy.world ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      no, not the rounding error: keep in mind, i am a statistic noob: The total amount of plus and minus in the bar chart should cancel eachother out because otherwise all useres wouldnt be 100% which sounds odd.

      But as stated in the other reply i am really a noob and just read the wikipedia on precetnage points.

    I think it’s relative change and not percentage points, from quick mental math that seems to add up. Very weird choice, maybe trying to inflate the perceived increase in linux users. So it would be a change of a bit more than +1 percentage point for linux.

    source

    • jayambi@lemmy.world ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Aha i did not know about % points. Why on earth is this the same “%” sign… anyway thanks for clarification

• SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  Linux was at -16.1% before?

  source

  • DmMacniel@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    most certainly that increase of 22.4% casued the Share to be at 6.3% thus in 2024 Linux had a share of 4.8%

    source
  • Pechente@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    It raised increased by 20% based on its previous share.

    Percentage van percentage points!

      Exactly. It would be more useful to see percentage points.

  I count 99.8% in this chart…
