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.

    Yes, I'm a bit less worried about chat control "1.0" as it at least still allows one to choose services that don't participate (I seem to recall reading somewhere that no encrypted services actually reported anything under 1.0 but have no source for it). Of course it is still not good.

    Biggest problem is that they are also discussing chat control 2.0 that would force privacy focussed apps to basically shut down or comply.

    Is that not standard practice ? It is around here at least. People tend to throw all kind of crap at rivaling players so usually bottles etc are not allowed. Any liquid served at the stadium is in soft plastic cups.

    Obviously sucks that it is required and people can't behave.

    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...
