    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.

    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.

    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.

      Ok I have problems with these cutoffs for ages. My wife is 57 (1967) and is very definitely a gen x’er.

        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.

      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.

      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

    Pornhub is lowkey a very skilled tech company. Delivering a quality video platform on the scale they do is incredibly difficult.

      Kids whose schools set up their chrome books inadequately and who found a way around the strict controls to watch porn.

    I wonder how much of this rise is caused by all of the recent state porn bans in the USA. Linux users are overall savvier and more likely able to circumvent the ban

      I don’t think you have to be all that fucking savvy to see an ad for ExpressVPN.

    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.

      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?

      I don’t know why your browser would report itself as a linux browser just because it’s behind a proxy or VPN

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