There are usually plenty of choices for ISPs here, actually. But switching between them isn't likely to give me IPv6 since either they share a magistral or the hardware is just plain old. That, and IPv6 is just not a thing anyone markets.

...and with the current fuckery going on, I doubt many of them have budget for big upgrades. Or maybe even access to hardware to buy.

Yeah, here in Russia the ISPs and IT infrastructure guys seem to be treating IPv6 like it has cooties. I can't find an article (and it'd be in russian anyway) but as far back as 2022, if you get IPv6 you can expect a variety of issues with it, ranging from "you need to reboot your router every once in a while" to "you technically have v6 but good luck actually browsing v6 internet".

And of course, why would they give you a stable IP when they can charge for it :T. At least it's only a third the price of a stable IPv4.

My current ISP technically provides v6 according to their site - but my connection doesn't have it, and since there's nothing about it in the years-old contract, I'd need to redo that if I want to complain.

Anecdotally, I've heard people say they almost got into a crash because of lane assist, especially with the white/yellow temporary lines. But that does depend a ton on the car.

I have to agree that if you have to turn, you should be able to turn, lane assist be damned - we're not yet at the level where a car can accurately judge 100% of the road situations. But it's probably a good thing we're moving into a future where crossing lanes without turn signals feels like a virtual bump on the road.

Imagine actually having ipv6 available through your ISP.

...and ever if my ISP actually provided one, getting a static one costs money so there's no difference in the end.

If it's not made of tea, it's not tea. It's an infusion.

It's extra annoying to me because in my first language there's separate words for "tea-tea" and "some boiled herbs-tea" that are commonly used, but thanks to lazy translation people are beginning to call everything "tea".

No, no, I know what hyperfocus is, it's the reason I no longer touch creative writing with a ten foot pole after getting bombarded with "but you wrote this one in an hour and it is awesome! just write another one!" :D

I meant that I am wondering if normal people just get the same productivity but without it being flipped on or off randomly, provided they don't get distracted by something. You know, kinda like learning that it's not just a tv thing that people can say "okay, let's do this" and actually sit down and do "this" and not have to beat their brain into submission first.

Oh yeah. Wonderful memories of psyching myself up to do Thing and then suddenly getting nagged to do Thing and dropping in absolute negatives on the good old motivation.

That's a wonderful example at the end there, gotta remember it when I talk to people who don't get why I was standing in doors dressed and couldn't go outside.

I'm beginning to suspect "superfocus" is just what normal people do when they focus.

I just change certain keybinds to be GIMP-like whenever I switch drawing programs.

N is the pencil, CTRL-SHIFT-A is deselect. There's something else, but I can't remember right now.

Well, in GIMP you need to do the "float selection" before you can manipulate what you've selected properly. In Clip Studio Paint, for example, you select, press ctrl, and just drag whatever you clicked on to move. Way more intuitive (until you do it expecting to interact with active layer and instead move something in the overlay or behind).

I do love how GIMP allows you to work with transparency though.

Oh yeah, I've quit the game for good by that time.

Yeah, I was wondering that until modern games started changing voicelines to reflect the characters' gender.

The moment Drifter referred to my hunter as "Sister", all those doubts were cured.
