From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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 and chill" has lead me to believe those 2 Ven diagrams overlap quite a lot

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

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.

Probably Steam Deck users with that handheld device in one hand and their handheld device in the other.

Sorry guys... My gooning streaks are skewing the data; I'm the masturbations Georg and shouldn't have been counted...

[–] Nyadia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 43 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (6 children)

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.

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?

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.

The pornhub blog is surprisingly good reading every once in a while. They take their data analysis seriously.

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?

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.

[–] Vincent@feddit.nl 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

No browser uses a different engine yet (presumably because Apple only allows them to offer this in the EU, under draconian conditions).
