    The US finally takes aim at truck bloat
  • Never in its 50-plus years in existence has the regulator issued new rules for automakers requiring them to change their vehicle designs to better prevent pedestrian fatalities.

    Found the problem

    This country needs some fuckin' reform.
  • This is because a lot of well-built towns (or cities) have been bulldozed and rebuilt for cars instead of people. Or some built directly with only cars in mind (I wonder if car and oil companies had a role in this..., they did). This is why one of the key points (maybe the first step and the most important one) is to allow, invest in and develop better urban areas: allow two or more stories buildings, so not only areas are denser, thus it makes sense to serve them with transit, but also your doctor is allowed to have their office there; so your dentist; so are stores and pharmacies (that can only thrive in an environment where people live, not a suburban sprawl of cars and megastores). Cities built like this always have fast and efficient transit to the airports, to recreational areas (parks and your pond) and most likely to your parents.

    Banning cars where you are FORCED to use a car to do anything doesn't make sense. Building fake "bike-lanes" that lead to nowhere in zero-density areas with no point of interest (a store, your doctor, a station...) also doesn't make sense.

    What you can and should do is advocate for the abolishment of outdated zoning laws and the proposal of new transit projects. Change in those areas takes the most because it's like starting to cultivate strawberries on a desert.

    Company creates "solution" to address school "vaping incidents".
  • This. It's a sensor, detecting only a specific air type. Not a camera, not a microphone. It doesn't have to do with privacy, this is not "scan and collect data about all to punish one" and cannot be turned into one.

    I'll agree it's a fuc**ing dumb idea. Like utter useless garbage. Classic capitalistic "fix behavioral trash-consumption issue with overpriced fancy tech products that sound amazing in theory and are garbage in practice, without fighting the problem at the root". Screenshot comment said tax moeny but I'm willing to bet this is some kind of private school.

    Zen Browser | Privacy focused, open-source, Firefox Fork
  • Also I disabled send a do not track signal as it is used for fingerprinting

    Doesn't this only make sense if it is off by default on that browser? I assume if it is on by default, most people will just keep it on, thus making users of that browser that turn it off stand out more. No?

    Lo sporco affare del North Stream che continua a umiliare l’Europa l Kukturjam
  • A me sembra proprio che l'articolo vada abbastanza al punto. Poi per carità, condito con un po' di opinionismo, ma bisogna davvero scolarsi litri di alchol per far finta di non vedere.

    Forse tutto questo "complottismo filorusso" è alimentato da due anni di cazzate e ipocrisie che ci raccontiamo qui in occidente. A partire dal nordstream, che già quando successe sapevamo tutti che a fare il danno fosse stato il fronte ua/us, ma ovviamente ci mettemmo il salame sugli occhi o girammo la testa, era ancora il periodo "qualunque cosa negativa succede probabilmente sono i russi, anche se a danno dei russi". Ora guarda guarda la germania ha un mandato di cattura per un ucraino a riguardo. Non mi dilungo, nel post lo spiega molto meglio.

    Il peak da circo a mio parere però si è raggiunto con la centrale di zaporizzja (sotto il controllo russo dall'inizio della guerra praticamente) che ancora oggi riceve droni bomba anonimi, ovviamente russi. Evidentemente c'è un operatore nell'esercito russo che si diverte a lanciare i loro stessi droni sulle loro posizioni. E i nostri giornali ovviamente titalano di questi missili o droni in terza persona non si sa provenienti da chi (bho, forse li lanciano i nordcoreani?). Da sfasciarsi dalle risate.

    Ovviamente te con le tue due buzzwords in croce (scelgo voi, "complottisti" e "filorussi") ti fai ben scudo dietro il sentimento generale anti-russo creato da due anni e passa di giornalismo spazzatura, ma ti guardi bene dall'argomentare anche solo un minimo quello ciò che viene detto nell'articolo. Complimenti

  • Sadly that is not an option for firefox on android yet (while it is on desktop), the only choises you are left with are:

    • Use ff focus that completely resets the browser deleting every cookie in the process
    • Use normal ff and:
    1. Just accept that you have to deal with cookies and care to carefully select Reject on every banner
    2. Turn on delete data on "exit button press" (which sadly deletes everything again, with no possibility to whitelist some websites).

    That said, i believe Firefox should have (even on android) their "total cookie protection" thing which puts them in separate containers for each domain, so you are somewhat protected by cookie cross-tracking, but i would still prefer to delete most of them at close.

  • Hello sailors,

    as a long time FireTV stick un-enjoyer, I finally decided that the time has come to get rid of this piece of crap I was baited into buying because of the low price. The number of streaming services keeps increasing (splitting content among different servives) and each and every one of them is demanding for an increasing amount of money for a monthly subscription; "buy this movie only" services dont actually give you shi except for the right to stream it for as long as it stays in their library, even though af course you pay 13,99 as if it was a physical copy of a movie. In addition to that, the FireTV is now completely filled with ads. I am tired of this shitty customer treatment, im sailing.

    I am not experienced into local media-sharing and management, so I am looking for advice... What's my best move to replace it?

    I thought a good idea would be to buy an unexpensive MiniPC that i can put behind the TV? Is that overkill? But what OS would i put into it? A linux distro I am guessing or Android TV? Is there a way I can interact with it using a remote? Are there instead "better" FireTV sticks (no ads and let users install and watch what they want)?

    Gimme advice or share your secret setups please :)
