A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yes, somewhat. The problem is places still suck at adopting it, especially phone carriers, and most people are primarily connected via their phones and a lot of people even use that infrastructure as a replacement for broadband as well.
Edit: I live in the uk, it seems to be less well supported than in the USA >.<
For examples of phone network stuff: https://alanjmcf.wordpress.com/2022/04/25/ipv6-on-uk-mobile-networks/
For examples of broadband providers: https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2021/11/update-on-ipv6-plans-for-virgin-media-talktalk-plusnet-and-vodafone.html
It might be because I live in the UK.
The internet I use is permanently stuck in "use phone carrier as backup" mode and we don't have ipv6 because of that.
Data for me also seems stuck in ipv4.
