One U.S. ISP that technically blocks inbound TCP over IPv6 is T-Mobile Home Internet (fixed wireless). The gateway appliance included with the plan offers no way to forward a port to the subscriber's computer. (Source) I've read that most major U.S. ISPs threaten to disconnect a home subscriber for running a publicly accessible server. (Source)

One large legacy network in the U.S. is Frontier fiber, which is still IPv4-only in 2026.

Democracy is for retards.

Government did this. All of this. Government regulated so much that only a rare few can afford to compete.

This is late stage statism. Retard voters are to blame.

Like you.

It'll help exactly as much as Unreal experience helps if you apply at a Godot shop.

In case your answer is "Well there aren't many Godot shops", then why is that?

There's no organized conspiracy as much as a less-formal worldwide shift in the Overton window toward more surveillance and less tolerance of erotica and nontraditional gender expression. Left-wing governments in other countries are just as eager to surveil their citizens. Look at how the People's Republic of China has expanded criminal background checks into a numeric "social credit score." The UK has its own share of conservatism; just look at Brexit and the "TERF Island" movement. And as long as global economies depend on hydrocarbon fuel from the Middle East, Salafis (Arabic for "reactionaries") will continue to have a platform.

Anonymous Coward mentioned two categories of "them". In case you don't see AC comments, I'll rephrase:

1. Government agencies interested in performing the same sort of predictive policing that led to Terrorism Information Awareness of the early 2000s.
2. The sort of religious conservatives who ultimately want sex and violence purged from even media intended for grown-ups, as we saw with Collective Shout pressuring payment processors to pressure itch.io to remove erotic works.

Reduced mental workload in having to put on a show of meeting society's behavior expectations for one's assigned gender all the time.

How is Unreal Engine noticeably superior to Godot in a way that noticeably affects a beginner learning video game development for the first time?

Unreal Engine is proprietary software with a free replacement that is adequate for beginners. That's why.

Wider deployment of TLS over the past 12 years, wider use of too-big-to-fail CDNs for DDoS mitigation (such as Cloudflare), and DNS over HTTPS have made firewalls operated by the ISP less effective by hiding from the ISP what websites are being visited.

When has Claude, or Gemini or ChatGPT for that matter, ever been sensitive?

Then perhaps what Google has failed to add on YouTube is a checkbox to exclude videos with only auto-generated captions from search results and recommendations.

So basically the same thing that Ubuntu's two-year "LTS" track does. Ubuntu 24.04 "noble" is feeling fairly old at the moment. Ubuntu 26.04 "resolute" was released a week ago to users on the semiannual "interim" track, and it'll be offered to LTS users come the first point release about three months from now. Drinkypoo has a point, however, that Debian has no direct counterpart to Ubuntu's interim track.
