First of all, these protocols don't allow for backdoors

Doesn't matter, tbh. The entire problem of giving governments (or whoever) a backdoor is that there's no way to make it only available to the "good guys".

If Apple and co did put in backdoors to satisfy the Brits, the first thing every other government on earth would do is legislate itself access to the backdoor.

With or without a proper backdoor, this law breaks the tech.

That depends very heavily on what your searching for.

If you're a programmer or similar, like the poster you're replying to appears to be, then you absolutely will find DDG crap compared to Google.

I use DDG as my primary search engine, but if I have a tech question, I usually skip it and go straight to Google.

Thing is, Google is also (still) just better.

I use DDG as my primary search engine, but I find myself repeating searches with Google so often, I wrote a userscript to add a "Search with Google" link to the top of the DDG search results.

Even entertaining the idea it being anything else is ridiculous.

It's their own OS running on their own custom handheld. Treating it separately from other linux machines might be odd, but calling it "ridiculous" is being childish.

Yes, I know how Linux works.

The poster above asked for a reason why steamOS might be considered separately to other sisters, and I gave them a possible one.

Why wouldn't an Arch branch not be Linux?

Because it's Valve's own OS. They might consider being first-party sufficient reason to not to lump it in with its third-party cousins.

NGL, I'm surprised macOS was even ahead of Linux given Apple's deep-seated, cultural disinterest in gaming.

I hear he's lost a bunch of money. That's a definite positive in my book.

Can someone provide some context? What new standards are they talking about?

A 2022 Toyota Corolla gets around 40mpg highway and squeezes 5 people inside so it uses 0.5 gallons per person per 100mi.

5 people in the Corolla is 2–3 times as many people as are at all likely to be in there. That's a very skewed number.

When using realistic numbers, cars come in at about the same per mile as large commercial airliners. (Flights tend to be far, far longer of course.)

Vor allem, 25 km/h sind auch nicht gerade viel für einen Radfahrer ohne Motor. Geht's bergab, dann wäre der S-Pedelec-Fahrer mit seinen 25 km/h der Langsame.

Sowas ist ein Velomobil.

Fähnchen haben die meisten Liegeräder. Übersehen wird man trotzdem oft :(
