            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>About Linux on phones you are wrong. We have the almost fully open hardware Librem 5 running PureOS (fully free software Debian) or Mobian (actually Debian) or PostmarketOS. Purism is still trying to get the FSF certification for open hardware. Liberux Nexx also tries to get a fully open Linux phone. There are more devices with fully Linux support. PostmarketOS is not the only distro supporting smartphones. Droidian (based on Mobian) is doing the same and Mobian itself supports pocketcomputers and at least one smartphone. The situation changed a lot in the last 5 years and PostmarketOS is just one edge of all the movement.</p>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I checked statcounter and was surprised how useless it became. The data for the almost last two years was not reliable any longer (probably due LLM crawler and agents) and now they decided to just remove the "unknown" graph. In India over 50% of all collected data was "unknown", now everything is gone. Linux dropped from 17% to 5% in that time where unknown went up from nearly none existent to those 50+%. Now it shows 12% while I am pretty sure it is around 20% in reality. Same with the rest of the world, without knowing the unknown, data is not useful at all. And even before they never showed the total number of collected data points, which makes analyzing data very hard. Just a service I will not use any longer after removing "unknown".</p>
