Yes, they do. In fact, they have several competing committees to market the concepts internally through armies of PMs and TPMs and KPIs and efficiency metrics tracking. Also your AI token use of course.

Bullshit, it doesn’t block a damn thing for me ever lol


“Given addresses” != adoption. Hell, I had to disable it in osx because it breaks the damn hotspot connection functionality. Wasn’t using it, it’s just there, breaking shit and being useless.


Google's stats are tracking the percentage of people that reach Google over IPv6. That means they've not just been given addresses, but they configured them and are actively using them. How can that possibly not count as "adoption"?


That’s Apple’s fault. Why are you blaming it on IPv6? Oh, because Apple can do no wrong.


It would maybe be okay at the router to break some things, but ffs even in software I have to choose? Why do I need both ping and ping6 this is stupid!! They really screwed up by making it a breaking change to the OS and not just internet routing.


They didn't screw up. They made it a breaking change to OSs because it had to be a breaking change to OSs. If anyone screwed up here, it was the people who made v4, not the ones that made v6.

For ping, I think it originally had different binaries because ICMPv4 and ICMPv6 are different protocols, but Linux has had a dual-stack `ping` binary for a very long time now. You can just use `ping` for either address family.


The whole ping vs ping6 seems more likely than lazy developers.


Do you live under a rock? The memorability of ipv4 was one of the major issues brought up from the very beginning.


Async in Python in general really… The way they implemented it is basically a valley of footguns and broken dreams.


It’s always Turkish lol. That was our language of choice to QA anything… if it worked on that it would pretty much work on anything.


I'm shocked there's no mention of "The Turkey Test"

I really dislike the fact that that article uses the “” quotes instead of "". Makes copy-pasting not work.


X11 with compiz was peak Linux, now it feels like a corporate featureless wasteland run by accountants.


You are welcome to try FreeBSD, where the hacker spirit is still strong.


compiz was awesome. i grant you that! :-)

but we are getting wayland implementations that look as cool as compiz did. it's far from a corporate wasteland.


Because it’s terrible. People don’t avoid non-terrible things.


I agree but it doesn’t seem to be intentional on their part.
