    The counterpoint is that if you indicate at a point when it’s unsafe to change lanes to communicate your intention to, for example change lane after a car passes, then the other car might think you missed them and therefore might take potentially risky corrective actions.

    Personally I indicate when it’s safe, but don’t aggressively change lanes right away, waiting a few seconds. Seems like a good approach to me.

    I’m not in Germany, but I was taught (in mandated driving school) that when switching lanes, first check it’s safe (which means you cannot cause another car needing to brake for you), then signal, then change lane. You shouldn’t “request to” change lanes forcing another to need to react. Not sure if it can explain the behaviour.

    But this is only for changing lanes, not for zipper merging, or just turning a corner etc.




  • The number of partners is in the cookie banner from onetrust when opening the site (maybe location dependent?). I’m aware it doesn’t mean they necessarily are making 3rd party http requests (feels likely though?), but when a site has such a ridiculous amount of partners, it is a huge red flag.

    But it’s not surprising, if they donate to charity, for each search request, they have to generate income somehow…






  • Meanwhile I found rethink dns. It’s a DNS based blocking that also use the local VPN similar to tracker control, however you can add any wireguard VPN to use inside rethink dns. This allows one to use any VPN provider that supports wireguard.

    The UI is not as good as tracker control for what you want, but it’s possible to show logs of blocked request for each app.
