  • override the auto driving

    I must be tired right now but I don’t see how a remote operator could have driven better in this situation.

    You can’t get away from someone blocking your car in traffic without risk.of hitting them or other people or vehicles.

    You probably meant they ought to drive away regardless of what they hit, if it helps the passenger escape a.dire.situation? But I have to wonder if a remote operator would agree to be put on the spot like that.





  • If you like this you may like Chrome too, because that’s exactly how Google is trying to do things now.

    Here’s the thing. I don’t want my browser to do things under the hood. It’s either protecting my privacy or it’s not. That means it’s either sending cookies to the website I’m visiting or it’s not.

    When Firefox takes it upon itself to bypass cookies and collect information about me, that’s surprising and unpredictable and may fail in ways unique to Firefox. It’s one more thing to worry about.

    If Mozilla wants to outright and overly protect me they can offer an “allow cookies” button like LibreWolf does, our how you can get with the CAD add-on (Cookie Auto Delete).

    If they won’t do that then stick to blocking third-party cookies and get out of the way.

    I don’t want Firefox to second-guess what I want to share with anybody, and assuming I want to share anything with advertisers, even anonimized data, is an abuse of my trust.

    We don’t owe advertisers anything, btw. They’re a parasitic industry and the sooner it dies and we move on the better.



  • I get your point, but this feature is being pushed to users prominently, and it turns out it doesn’t do anything with the search results on both Youtube and Amazon, which are pretty much THE most likely sites you could think of, that anybody’s going to be using. That seems like a pretty glaring omission to me.

    There are lots of bug reports already opened about it not working as intended on various large sites, including Facebook, Google Images etc.

    It’s pretty obvious to me that such sites are going to keep changing their parameters because they’re privacy predators. If Mozilla is not willing or able to keep the parameter definitions up to date then this feature can end up doing more harm than good.

    You don’t have to install drivers or CUPS on client devices. Linux and Android support IPP out of the box. Just make sure your CUPS on the server is multicasting to the LAN.

    You may need to install Avahi on the server if it’s not already (that’s what does the actual multicasting). The printer(s) should then auto magically appear in the print dialogs on apps on Linux clients and in the printer service on Android.

    On Linux it may take a few seconds to appear after you turn it on and may not appear when it’s off. On Android it shows up anyways as long as the CUPS server is on.



  • short of all using the same wordpress or whatnot hoster, that is.

    That’s the thing, that’s common practice. It’s basically a given nowadays for shared web hosting to use one IP for a few dozen websites, or for a service to leverage a load/geo-balancer with 20 IPs into a CDN serving static assets for thousands of domains.
