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

Lets get past 7% next year ;)

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

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.

[–] FurtiveFugitive@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

Posted above but I will put it here for visibility also.

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.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] ltxrtquq@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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 week 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.

Chrome OS

Those are supposed to be for homework...

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

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 week ago (7 children)

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

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 week ago (1 children)

The internet penetration rate is 67.4% at this time

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

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

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago (6 children)

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