It's clickbait.

To you pull over and offer to siphon some of your gas when you see somebody on the side of the road?

Let's not glaze over the fact that they ran out of fuel in the first place.

Per abcnews quote:
âoeIf Zuckerbergâ(TM)s ship is there and this vessel just ran out of fuel, theyâ(TM)re under no obligation whatsoever to assist them. Zero,â said Davenport, who led rescues in the Bering Sea during his career. âoeIs it that common courtesy to help other mariners out? Yes, because someday youâ(TM)re going to need assistance.â

Threw it into Claude to diagnose. The short and sweet version, TLDR

The July 2026 jump to 10.65% in North America is mostly a measurement artifact — StatCounter's "Unknown" category (~9.24% in June) collapsed and that traffic, which skews toward Linux users on privacy-hardened browsers and VPNs, got reclassified as Linux, and the figure is still inside a 45-day revision window from a dataset that already had an acknowledged error in June. Underneath the noise the trend is real but modest: Windows 10's end of support and Proton-enabled gaming are driving genuine switching, though device-based counts like Valve's Steam survey (~3.7% Linux) suggest the true installed base is well under half what the traffic number implies. The bigger structural driver is that StatCounter measures pageviews, not machines — as casual users abandon desktops for phones, the remaining desktop traffic pool gets more power-user-heavy, so Linux's share climbs even without a single new install.
