You completely debunk the idea that “I don’t think the growth in “unknown” is the primary factor of Window’s decline in market share.” in the same comment you said it? Because what you said makes absolutely no sense in the face of the actual numbers.

I expound on the two points because you can’t just rest your argument on them and then limply, vaguely disclaim that it’s terrible methodology.

Those “last two data points” are two months. For OS X, there’s some upward movement the last two months (about 3%, which isn’t a lot given it spiked late last year from 8.3% to 14.07% to 8.2% in a span of three points), while Linux is practically flatlined with a very light upward incline just the last month.

To the extent StatCounter is useful to begin with, the Linux point is functionally meaningless while the OS X increase of a few percentage points may or may not be significant; trying to divine a trend from twitches in those two points is reading noise. Look at the “unknown” line, meanwhile, and see how it begins mirroring Windows’ decline around mid–late 2025. It rose from 11.3% in September 2025 to 21.5% in June 2026. That represents actual, meaningful, lasting change.

Okay, but StatCounter’s graph (edit: here) clearly shows that “unknown” is what’s cannibalizing most of that – and this is specifically measuring web traffic.

“Lemmy celebrates the rise of bots polluting web traffic stats because they didn’t bother to read the article beyond a misleading headline that reaffirms their biases.”

This man looks like he was engineered in a lab to be the villain of an iCarly special.

Birdemic 4 lookin’ 🔥

It’s okay: I’m a commielinguist and can certify what I said.

Is mixing those together where “commie” comes from?

Bethesda is hit particularly hard by the layoffs, IGN understands, with staff across its many development studios

It’s talking about the publisher.

The independent journalist cooperative Bereg spoke with Vlad about what it was like to wait [39 hours] in that line [in Chita] and what it looks like to travel across the country during a fuel crisis. In his view, the authorities are to blame for what is happening — not because they started the war with Ukraine, but because they are not “responding harshly enough.”

Shame that he had to wait 39 hours. Let’s try for 48 next time. Or better yet, hope his piece of shit Lada craps out from all the sulfur in the gasoline.

This article is in-goddamn-sufferably long-winded for those who already know the drama (and even for those who don’t), so here’s the Windscribe post. Honestly did not need an article, but then TechRadar is a shitty content mill.

I accidentally had dairy for the first time in years the other day for a similar reason. Local café. Ordered some tofu and a mocha with oat milk. Nothing else. Get my order, and the mocha has dairy whipped cream (the only kind they have). Nowhere on the menu does it say it comes with whipped cream. No one making it stopped and wondered “huh”. I wasn’t even with anybody to pawn it off onto. And sending it back means it just goes in the trash.

It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.

This is the greatest AP article I’ve ever read.

You thought you could get away, gamer girl. You thought you could fuckin’ escape me, gamer girl. But my IQ is too hiiiiiigh!

Shit, now we know why they had to kill him off in the movie.

Vegan Optimus Prime??

How is it burying the lede when anyone with basic reading comprehension knows that’s what the headline’s obviously suggesting? Like sorry your reading comprehension is apparently trash, but that doesn’t mean GamesRadar did something wrong.

May it someday join the Moskva.

Also humans in real life:

Like come on, guys; we already do this to beings that have been proven sentient for decades. It isn’t a leap.
