Proves linux users are sexual deviants

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

Is the huge shift shift from iOS to Android to the fact iPhone users are typically less tech savvy, so places that banned porn hub (like Texas) effectively banned those users, who also weren't savvy enough to use a VPN?

The most compelling evidence I've ever seen for the elusive "year of the Linux Desktop".

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Indeed.

Also great evidence that Windows is not dying, no matter what the Linux fanboys claim.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Oh god, don't say that. You're going to summon them. I'm getting out of here...

According to statcounter WE are currently at 4.03% market share.

Sorry, I think extra 1% is me rubbing more than one out a day.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago

No one with "that's me" and "furiously masturbating"?

[–] finitebanjo 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Conclusion: People with linux fuck.

[–] avieshek 14 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

People with Linux *rub~

[–] Agent641 2 points 7 hours ago

Forget grow by 0.5, we need to grow by 1.8%!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

I'm curious about mobile vs desktop.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I’d be curious to compare this with total internet usage shares

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

The internet penetration rate is 67.4% at this time

[–] werefreeatlast 11 points 11 hours ago

That's an entire 67.4% higher than my penetration rate percentage.

Apple is slipping.

0,4% of desktop users come form Solaris?

[–] Agent641 3 points 7 hours ago

0.0002% come from Plan 9, somehow.

Now adjust it for total market share of the OSs and you'll arrive at the conclusion, everybody wanks equally.

[–] badbytes 19 points 18 hours ago

Who knew this would be the year Linux on the wankoff.

[–] Eww 18 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

All the iPhone users can afford OnlyFans.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

Or iphone users are only a small percentage of phone users?

This graph isn't US-centric and Android is a lot more popular in the world. The US is the skewed one here.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

jokes aside it's probably because of US states banning porn sites, and Apple makes up for like 80% of US phones

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

You're way off. In November 2024 iOS only made up 56% of the current market share. In October, android and iOS nearly achieved parity with one another.

https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/united-states-of-america

Worldwide, Android holds 71% of the market share. I wonder if this will change if and when Chinese companies gain traction with their own alternative OS's, though.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

Yeah, except the states dumb enough to ban porn only have like 1% of the US population.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

That's not true. Texas is the largest state to be affected by the pornhub ban, and Texas makes up 9% of the US population. Including all 12 of the states with pornhub restrictions, the total is actually 24% of the US population. Those are big enough numbers to swing stats.

Now you have to consider which users are more likely to know how to use a VPN on their system and realize that a lot of traffic is being re-routed through other states and countries.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Where are you getting 12 from? I'm seeing 8.

You're correct, though. As far as I can tell, nearly a quarter of all Americans are geographically blocked from Pornhub (unless they use a VPN).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

My source was a map posted to Reddit in July 2024. However after doing more research, Wikipedia reports it is now actually 16 states.

Emphasis mine:

February 2024: the Attorney General of the state of Texas sued Aylo/Pornhub for allegedly not obeying the state's legal age verification law.[141][142][143] As of March 2024, Pornhub and other Aylo-owned websites have blocked access in Texas, due to the adoption of an age verification law which usually mandates age verification through the use of an identity document. In states where Pornhub is blocked, which also include Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Utah, Virginia, Florida, Nebraska, Indiana, Kansas, Idaho, Kentucky, and Oklahoma; a message is displayed featuring pornstar Cherie DeVille criticizing such laws.[

I ran this through an AI, so take it with a grain of salt... But the percentage is actually, ostensibly, 24.6%.

That's more then enough to explain the descrepencies in the data.

Edit: The work ChatGPT showed, in case this is wrong.

Texas: 30.5 million

Florida: 22.6 million

Virginia: 8.7 million

Indiana: 6.8 million

Louisiana: 4.6 million

Mississippi: 2.9 million

Arkansas: 3.0 million

Utah: 3.4 million

Total population = 82.5 million

The total U.S. population is approximately 335 million.

Maybe those guys watched a lot of porn last year?

[–] LordKitsuna 5 points 13 hours ago

How? Id imagine they broke after purchasing their $900 monitor stand
