Linux usafe has surely grown, but I think a laege percentage of that are AI crawlers and shit like that.

[-] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 2 points 1 hour ago

I'm gonna fire up haiku and boost that other percentage

This must somehow be related to the VPN vendors, right? Or perhaps even remote desktops?

It's better to stay away from windows if you're having a wank.

Linux marketshare is now big enough to fit tux inside the chart! We did it!

It's the year of the Linux desktop

Thank you to all the linux gooners bumping these numbers up

Its going to end up 1-2 freak self hoster's torrenting terrabytes of movies for the jellyfin servers instead of just streaming their porn, and thats why linux gets a marketshare.

Can you not talk about my porn habits in public? Thanks.

Frustrating that you can't even get to the pornhub press pages and look at the year in review without hopping on VPN if you're in a restricted area. I feel like Cherie Deville with her PSA on the block page might technically be the most viewed model on there now.

I feel your pain.

AI agents and web scrapers surely

[-] realitaetsverlust@piefed.zip 57 points 5 hours ago

I would expect AI scrapers to fake a windows user-agent tbh.

[-] Whelks_chance@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Why? Isn't it likely that it'll just report e.g. "python-requests" for the user agent, and it's up to the server side to decide what that means?

[-] bus_factor@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Chrome OS is down, they probably got reinstalled with regular Linux. The rest represents about 1% of the total market share, which could probably be Steam Decks.

[-] RamRabbit@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago

MacOS getting a little side action, too.
