It's not a meme, I've broken countless headphones that way. Well, maybe not on door handles, but e.g. in a bus there may be a lot of things the cable can catch on, like arm rests

I'm more of an over ear headphones guy, but I absolutely can't use wired headphones in the public. The cable will catch on anything, and it'd be broken very quickly.

Idk, I installed fedora 40 some time ago, and many things were broken out of the box. In that regard windows seems a bit more friendly to a new user

I'm pretty sure that was a metaphor for DDG giving them not what they are looking for. They probably didn't meant it literary

Yes, it's not a great security practice, and it probably should work more like "we've noticed you have randomly changed your search engine from google/ddg/bing/whatever to this 'random search engine no-one heard about'' instead of blindly reverting to edge and bing.

It seems to be a tool for tech illiterates. A power user will know how to avoid malware, and remove it if they catch it.

They should do a much better job than that, but helping people that don't know what they're doing is not itself a bad thing.

Systemd is not really an one giant monolith, it's a set of smaller tools
