And let’s not forget Cortana.

Yes but it’s unregulated and like most unregulated TLDs it has become a cesspool of malware and dark dealings. I don’t think anybody would never if that were to happen to .io.

Normally that would have been the preferred solution, but since IANA has experienced all kinds of shenanigans on similar occasions they have decided to not allow ccTLD’s to survive their former country anymore.

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.

How do you avoid interaction if it’s being done automatically by your machine when you open up a print dialog, and if malicious servers can use the same names as legit printers?

May I ask what fake location do you intent to provide? And have you considered that it might invalidate your claims? Like, you say your car had an accident but your location says you’re in Antarctica, and they use that to weasel out of coverage.

It’s been removed in most of the US.

On some phones you won’t get anything when searching for “lockdown” but you most likely have it, it’s typically under Display > Lock screen > Shown lockdown option.

Why do you assume they haven’t warned Mozilla in advance?

Also, Mozilla was fully aware that what they were doing is in breach of GDPR. I find it extremely hard to believe that the makers of Firefox are not fully familiarized with it by now.

Last but not least Mozilla is doing this for financial gain. It’s selling pur data to advertisers. Why should we excuse it? It’s a very hostile act.

If Mozilla has hit rock bottom and has been reduced to selling our data to survive then that’s that. We’ll find another way and another FOSS browser. Accepting it is not an option.

So what, are we giving Mozilla a free pass to do anything now? Is the new bar “not quite as shitty as Google”?

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.

Exactly.

The reason most companies decide to contribute to FOSS is because it’s a lot more efficient to fix bugs and add/influence features upstream than to do it at your end of the code independently of everybody else.

It will fall through much faster than that. I’m thinking two years, tops.

I use whatever online storage service I want because you can add your own encryption layer so you only sync encrypted files. rclone supports lots of services and will also encrypt files for you.

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.

From what I understand OP’s images aren’t the same image, just very similar.

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.

Jesus gets crucified.

with infrastructure the size of twitter you can also blackhole their whole IP range

Just one note, services the size of Twitter typically use cloud infrastructure so if you block that indiscriminately you risk blocking a lot of unrelated stuff.

Any PC can do that, it’s called “status after power off” or something like that.
