W3Schools Says "Statistics Are Important Information", But Abandons Them After More Than 20 Years
No update for over half a year:
Same for browsers:
W3Schools with its Microsoft/Windows site has been around for longer than I can remember. who.is traces it back to March 2000, so 24.5 years ago. 25 years this coming March!
W3Schools is a data source we've used along with statCounter in order to counter FUD against GNU/Linux. The "market share" of GNU/Linux on laptops/desktops seems to be somewhere near 5% and even more if one counts ChromeOS.
After more than 6 months of idleness it seems unlikely that W3Schools will update the above pages. Surveyors of all kinds perish all the time, so people are left guessing about facts and are instead deceived by marketing people (i.e. liars).
Our site is a lot smaller than the Web, but for the main domain (not subdomains) we see GNU/Linux at high usage levels. For yesterday's logs:
wc -l /var/log/apache2/techrights-access.log.1 377164 /var/log/apache2/techrights-access.log.1 grep Linux /var/log/apache2/techrights-access.log.1 | wc -l 79740 grep linux /var/log/apache2/techrights-access.log.1 | wc -l 10730
One issue here is that it also catches "linux" in URLs and some GNU/Linux users do not have this string//substring in their user-agent. Then again, Web stats aren't a science, even though buzzwords like "data scientist" became fashionable in recent years. █
