This is the monkey’s paw Year of the Linux desktop. I know we’re wankers but didn’t need reminding!
Linux users are gooners confirmed.
Is it finally the year of Linux?
(ง’̀-‘́)ง
Yes, it was last year, sorry you missed it!
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?
They said in the report that they have grown marketshare in Asia and Africa, as less people use apple in those regions the percentage dropped.
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.
No browser uses a different engine yet (presumably because Apple only allows them to offer this in the EU, under draconian conditions).
I was gonna say, I haven’t heard of any rewrites yet, and it is probably GDPR or some similar regulatory compliance.
I don’t think third parties engine-based browsers are even available for iOS, given that Apple only allows that for EU users.
Even if true, that would only explain the difference for mobile users and not the decrease in mac os use.
This is only for iOS and the user agent will still report the OS as iOS. For macOS it was always possible to run third party web engines.
But we don‘t know how pornhub analyzes their data. All the other statistics don‘t support their statistic.
New gens are ruining everything - “vertical video” gen-z, really?
Y’all need a spanking.
Is that supposed to be they watch videos in vertical…or they get off on watching vertical videos?
“Oh yeah, tilt that camera. Tilt it harder. There we go. Oh yeah! It’s standing straight up.”
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.
…at a quick glance-scan, i though that third row under gen X read ‘starfleet’: did a double-take and was disappointed…
Who doesn’t like a uniformed threesome between two dudes and a flower, or android/ghost/green lady sex, or just a speedrun to ejecting the core?
Those gen y and x ages are whack
Also, I hate zoomers and their vertical videos too
Yeah, idk what tf those age brackets are, it’s like they haven’t updated them since they first set up the graphics for the statistics.
Yep totally agree. And I also like boobies.
Kinda bummed they grouped the fetish all in one category. Thought we were getting weird here
… is it possible that these uneducated plebeians just put “fetish” in the search?
(jk)
maybe they’re looking for new ones lol
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).
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.
Maybe they’re just hoping to find a sexy fuckable whore ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
HR: IT detected that you watch porn at work. Employee: I’m not, it’s all SFE videos HR: OK, no problem then.
We don’t even look at porn on our computer anymore- we look at it on our phone?Vertical video is better for content focused on a single standing performer, because it allows as much of the screen resolution as possible to show the body. Horizontal is better for a performer lying down or any traditional horizontal sex acts, for the same reason.
I’m probably reading a little too far into this, but IMO Gen Z is much less interested in “simulations” of intercourse and is more interested in something “real”, i.e someone doing a dance. Intercourse feels like a fantasy, like you’re supposed to imagine that you’re the one having intercourse, it’s that fantasy which is appealing. Something like dancing or dirty talking is more honest about what it is, since a video of someone dancing or talking is essentially the same experience as if they were actually there in front of you. I believe that because Gen Z is more digitally native than older generations, they see digital content not as a substitute or fantasy for a real thing, but rather as a real thing in itself, and the nature of the content they consume reflects that. Another example of this is the shift from real-life streamers who fake personalities but pretend that they are presenting their real selves, to vtubers - who implicitly acknowledge that they are playing a fictional character for their stream as symbolized by their avatars. The human streamers are a fantasy substitute for a real human friend, but with a vtuber the content does not pretend to be different than what it actually is - a pretend character putting on a show for your enjoyment. By acknowledging its artificiality and integrating it into the content itself, it shifts from being something “fake” and “simulated” to being something “real”. To me it’s the exact same dynamic manifesting in a different area.
Now of course, I do understand that vertical content also simply means you don’t need to rotate your phone, and that Gen Z is almost exclusively using the Internet on the phone vs. the desktop as older generations will. But this too is essentially a reflection of the feeling that digital content is not an artificial recreation confined to a specific display area (a TV or computer) but rather perpetually available (your phone), as would be appropriate for something which has taken on the status of being real rather than fake. The two forces reinforce each other, imo.
I’m sorry about my generation. Pretty ashamed about the vertical video thing
the age of linux is cumming upon os.
ok this is really bad , ill see myself out…
Not what the distro meant by release
take my angry upvote!
I have nothing constructive to say. I laughed too much at this.
As long as you don’t use any of the windows and use the front door like my pet penguin, I won’t mind.
And there’s a kernel of truth in there and by that I don’t mean the kernel of an apple.
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.
Just open private browser window.
Georg Hub, is that you?
Yeah but your ISP knows someone at your address is consuming a metric ton of corn.
🌽
Shit man, are the ISPs running the sewers now too??
My man out here making the library of Alexandria for porn
Rube Goldberg machine but for masturbation.
Instructions unclear. Penis stuck in fan.
Kinky
In Hub we trust.
So what you’re saying is that there are more wankers on Linux nowadays!???
Maybe they’re just watching it for the plot.
Well, been * ahem * told that a friend of a friend didn’t found any videos there were “Your friendly neighborhood geek goes into the house of a hot milf to upgrade her Windows 10 machine to Arch and she shows them how hot she found their Linux install skills and how thankful she is”, so that seems unlikely.
Haha!
But uh…I would watch that. That sounds pretty hot.
This pretty much HAS to exist.
Competitive gooning
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.
I don’t know why your browser would report itself as a linux browser just because it’s behind a proxy or 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?
User agent logging is often done by running javascript locally on a machine, so the vpn would just pass the javascript to the local machine on which it would be run, so the data wouldn’t be effected that way.
Sometimes TLS fingerprinting is done to try to identify bots and not sure if bots would be included. They probably would be included because if they were blocked, then the javascript catching user would never be run on their machine, although I’m unsure of whether such bots would run useragent fingerprinting javascriot yo try to blend in or block it to avoid unneeded processing.
I feel like the math in this headline is off.
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.
You haven’t met the people I’ve had to give tech support to T_T
I have ph blocked at dns level, what genres our fellow Linux friend enjoy? There is a difference with other os?
I would assume BBT’s. (Big Black Titties)
That’s all me ur welcome gais
