Hey. It's been a lonely year. Don't shame me, bro.

[–] HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 13 points 5 hours ago

PornHub is a treasure trove for... data science

[–] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 11 points 6 hours ago

Year of the Linux gooning

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 9 points 7 hours ago

I'm doing my part!

Heh, my "part"

[–] Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social 20 points 10 hours ago (5 children)

Would love to see what kind of porn Linux users watch compared to others.

[–] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 19 points 6 hours ago

Polyamorous in public. It's open and anyone can contribute.

[–] oatscoop@midwest.social 24 points 8 hours ago

"Femboy" or furry, obviously.

I use Arch btw.

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

Anime? Manga? Tentacle?

Whatever type it's probably esoteric and somehow involves the command line.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Whatever kink, but with consent not sudo.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 1 points 3 hours ago

Why did no one tell me about the terminal tentacles?

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 6 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

what else is there ? porn with a GUI ??

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Well, a terminal can be pure porn.

I love when they give us this hard data. You can take this proof and shove it down hater's throats and perhaps even in other parts of their body.

The safe word is "Torvalds".

And the password for extra punishment is "closed source"

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 29 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Lots of wankers using Linux, eh?

[–] maam@feddit.uk 9 points 9 hours ago

People probably don’t want to watch it with their Microsoft employee.

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (3 children)

People who use Linux probably just have less sex and watch porn instead ;)

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Could this just be AI scrapers running Linux?

[–] nagaram@startrek.website 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I'm more willing to bet this is VPN servers running linux

[–] cvf@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

That's not how browsing over a VPN works. Your user-agent is still the one of your browser on your computer.

[–] entwine@programming.dev 3 points 6 hours ago

Wrong. If that were true, it wouldn't have suddenly gone up 22% this past year.

...I wonder, did something happen recently that might have led to an influx of incels/cucks/betas into the chad Linux community?

[–] EnsignWashout@startrek.website 1 points 6 hours ago

I thought our primary way of producing new Linux users was sexual reproduction and then indoctrination from birth...

[–] Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social 6 points 10 hours ago

I'm doing my part

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 55 points 16 hours ago (12 children)

Now that Linux is mainstream where do we move to feel elitist? DragonFly BSD? Redox OS?

[–] TroublesomeTalker@feddit.uk 4 points 4 hours ago

I preordered a Jolla. Chasing that "0.6 % Other" high.

[–] azimir@lemmy.ml 11 points 11 hours ago

The real elites shall forever be the Plan9 group. There's dozens of users! Dozens!

SerenityOS is "a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core".
It's good enough to be proud of, while alienating normal people, not incidentally, like linux used to, but on purpose, like this sentence does, making it a great for elitists.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 9 points 12 hours ago

Perfect. Installing now.

Next year will be SerenityOS desktop year!

unfortunately this is mostly an instance of https://xkcd.com/1102/

[–] JohnAnthony@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 hours ago

While that is a good point (and an xkcd I didn't know), the stats say Linux also had the largest absolute growth, so it's not quite as misleading as you make it out to be

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 26 points 14 hours ago

It's probably SteamDecks alone.
