  • It’s less about which ISPs have IPv6 and moreso how much work one has to do to get it working on their home network. Thankfully I think we’re in an era now where any new router you buy will support IPv6 and most major ISPs support it. However, in order to get IPv6 working on my home network, I need to 1) know that IPv6 is a thing (massive filter), 2) know that I don’t have it, 3) be motivated to have it, 4) call my ISP and ask them for a prefix, and 5) go into the router settings and enable it.

    For cellular Internet, this is (short of using settings or Termux to see my IP) completely, 100% transparent to the end user, as it should be. It should be the default, not a process 99.9% of people wouldn’t even know exists, let alone initiate.










  • Moreover, if you don’t want people doing sex work, then you probably especially don’t want people to be forced into doing sex work. But that’s precisely what happens when you criminalize it: you make it so that the only way the demand can be satisfied is through a shady black market where trafficking is orders of magnitude more likely to take place, and you make it orders of magnitude more difficult for victims and witnesses to go to the authorities to report it.


  • That said, if you pay more up-front for something like a Brother laser printer, it should last you a lot longer and be on the order of 10x cheaper per page. People see Instant Ink as “cheap” because they’ve probably never tried the much cheaper alternative, and they see it as “convenient” because they’ve never had a printer that lasts several thousand prints without a cartridge change. It’s really sad seeing so many people who can afford the upfront cost of a laser printer falling for this scam so often.
