The steam deck does seem like a good device for "bedtime" browsing.

More seriously, this data is probably less biased toward tech literate users than most similar surveys that get published here. This is really encouraging

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 month ago

Lets get past 7% next year ;)

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

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 month ago

Indeed.

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

[-] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago

The thing is Linux doesn't need to topple Windows. Linux just needs a big enough market share for companies to go "maybe we should also offer official support for Linux?"

Hypothesis: Pornhub is effected by a lot of the bans in places like Texas. I don't see ChromeOS or Apple users as the kind of folks who know how to find their ways around those bans, but Windows and Linux users are more likely to via VPNs and such.

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago

Affected*. I don't think special effects are involved.

[-] ltxrtquq@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago

effect verb

1 : to cause to come into being

2 a : to bring about often by surmounting obstacles : accomplish effect a settlement of a dispute

b : to put into operation

Effect is a perfectly fine verb. It's wrong in this case, but it doesn't imply the use of special effects.

I understand that but I wasn't about to go full English teacher on people. Maybe it's condescending, but when speaking in public or online, I prefer to explain things in a simplified way that the general public can understand. My girlfriend likes to accuse me of mansplaining; I won't argue that it is an incorrect assessment.

Possibly a factor, but I don't think a quarter of Apple users are affected by those bans.

[-] happydoors@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

I see what you mean but it doesn’t take much to download a VPN app and hit the big green button

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

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

Chrome OS

Those are supposed to be for homework...

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 month ago

ChromeOS is for the internet and the internet is for porn. Ergo, vis-a-vis, concordantly...

All the iPhone users can afford OnlyFans.

[-] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 month ago

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

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?

It’s the year of the Linux desktop!!!

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 8 points 1 month ago

I'm really curious as to what OSs comprise those "Other", both for desktop and mobile

[-] TwilightKiddy@programming.dev 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Stuff like BSD, Minix, maybe some curios individuals on Solaris? For mobile, Symbian, Windows Mobile? Also, probably all that don't report their OS in the user agent.

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

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

The internet penetration rate is 67.4% at this time

[-] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

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

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 7 points 1 month ago

Apple is slipping.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 6 points 1 month ago

I don't like how the bar graphs, obviously supposed to show percentage points, actually show relative percent change.
