Hi @ziggutas. I don't see what's complicated about it.

Not saying it's complicated. My comment was directed at the website content. Following your link to the article is ok and they ask for feedback; but no hint as to how! I was expecting to click on a counter or something like that.

Anyway, your post has stirred up some results for UT so that's the main thing!

@Opolork Your link works on mobile if opened in Onion browser. I voted twice, my PC and phone, just to see if possible, so this poll will not reflect the reality, but at least will make the UT more visible. I wonder how many times can you vote when starting Onion again and again with a different IP

As many times as your traffic is routed to a different exit node.

@Opolork Yeah. Multiple voting works in Onion on mobile UT.

@arubislander Already checked. You can vote as many times as you like =)))))))) Is this a joke? =)))))))

@Keneda

Ok, maybe that's a cookie link or something?

Try going to https://distrowatch.com, then click on 'Opinion poll: Do you own a Linux-powered phone?' link.

[Opolork]

@ziggutas I see. Yes, UT has risen up the poll.

Well, in this instance it is because cast votes are tied to IP address, and since you are using Tor, the IP address the website sees changes all the time.

But in general, yes. While I would't call it a joke per se, popularity metrics on Distrowatch do need to be taken with a heavy bag of salt.

Why?

To show the world that we exist.

[Opolork]

@cliffcoggin

Suit yourself.

But if you do use UT then why not vote?

[Opolork]

@Moem Precisely.

[Opolork]

@Keneda Ok.

[cliffcoggin]

Call me cynical, but I never follow invitations to "open this link" unless I know the the person involved or he provides a reasonable explanation for doing so.

[Opolork]

@cliffcoggin It's DistroWatch, not some obscure little known website. Don't vote then if you feel that way. Jeesh.

[Opolork]

UBports: 146 votes (18% overall). Very nice!
