Linux

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.

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.

Yeah but your ISP knows someone at your address is consuming a metric ton of corn.

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

New gens are ruining everything - "vertical video" gen-z, really?
Y'all need a spanking.

Those gen y and x ages are whack

Also, I hate zoomers and their vertical videos too

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 week ago

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.

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?

Maybe they're just hoping to find a sexy fuckable whore ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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

Kinda bummed they grouped the fetish all in one category. Thought we were getting weird here

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

... is it possible that these uneducated plebeians just put "fetish" in the search?

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

That link is amazing... they even have maps 😂 !

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

[–] Dreaming_Novaling@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago

This chart is fascinating, although it's unfortunate that so many states don't have a specific category assigned to them. I just can't help but notice how many weeabo degenerates (I am part of said degenerates) must be living in Wisconsin, and Oregon being furry makes me wonder how many furries live there.

Guys, we're losing big to mobile devices. Although I'm glad Australia is still going strong at 12% desktop computer.

[–] CrumblyLiquid@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 week ago

65.2% (globally) are Android so technically we're winning!

I wish I could run Linux on my phone.

Under video game consoles, it lists 0.1% for "Other (3DS/PS Vita)". Unless PornHub offers 3D porn that works on the 3DS (do they?!), I refuse to believe even 0.01% would use the 3DS browser in this capacity.

(On the other hand, that's 0.1% of video game consoles, and I can't imagine too many people use their consoles for porn in the first place... Basically I'd love to see absolute numbers for this)

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.

[–] iopq@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

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

This is the monkey's paw Year of the Linux desktop. I know we're wankers but didn't need reminding!
