Favstar was useful back in the day when you didn't get notifications about favs, etc. Not so much anymore. I also used it to read the most liked tweets of certain users, but these greedy fucks want you to pay to read the top one (which you can bypass with Inspect Element) and to read more than the top 10 or so. So, good riddance.

So buy an iPhone. They won't stop tracking you because that's how they make money. That's why their OS is free.

Like that's a small thing. I would love to move to Eastern Europe or Czechia, but alas

>When it comes to consumer ISPs, who are the people paying for the high-end packages?

Gamers don't need high speed or thousands of services and telly channels, just good ping

I just installed it on Windows 10 and, if you change the configuration, it's high DPI aware and looks gorgeous on my screen! That's something I did not expect.

>Are you saying there are network engineers/management at ISPs who don't believe IPv6 is an imperative?

If the rest of your message is true, why are the ipv6 numbers so low, if it's not because of politics?

>Peer-to-peer gaming or voicechat becomes laggy, or doesn't work at all.

It's 2018, nobody would be insane enough to try that

It's normal, no? They deploy IPv6 because they don't have enough IPv4 addresses. And since most servers in the world are not IPv6 ready and will never be for a long time, if you want to reach an IPv4 server you have to go through their CGNAT which may have a piss-poor performance.

I really wish RIPE could force ISPs to release the addresses they don't need :(

I don't find it surprising that they can't find a correlation between GDP/growing user base/IPv4 stress and IPv6 deployment.

IPv6 deployment is a matter of politics. It depends on the opinions of the network personnel, on the hardware they have in their core network, on the hardware their customers have (CPEs), on the support contracts they have, etc. That's what decides whether they put a CGNAT in place, whether they buy more IPv4 addresses, or whether they deploy IPv6.

No. I would use a more appropriate tool, because I will never refuse to use anything that's in my toolbox, like Theo did. :)
