Actually, in EU countries the law explicitly says you have to drive slow enough to react to unexpected changes on the road. If you as a driver hit something or someone, you are automatically at fault because you violated that law. There is an incredibly high burden of proof required to not be at fault as a driver.

But that's usually not an issue, because road planners are only allowed to set speed limits that are low enough that drivers can actually react to unexpected changes. Which is why e.g. the Autobahn has a separate lane for broken down vehicles and significant setbacks and green areas to both sides of the road so you can see from a long distance away if something is in the road.

If you actually think about it, it's absolutely makes sense. The Autobahn has additional stopping lanes for broken down cars and several meters of grass to each side, which means you can safely drive hundreds of kilometers an hour while still being able to see obstructions early enough to brake in time.

Slower motorways have smaller setbacks, but still enough to keep their speeds.

City streets where you can't see people entering the road in time to brake usually have relatively low speed limits to reduce the braking distance as well as the damage caused by a collision.

But if the visibility or braking distance are affected due to weather or broken streetlamps, it's up to you to slow down accordingly. But even for situations like that traffic planners usually add additional signs, it's common to see roads with signs that say

/❄️\
(60)

to warn people to drive slower when the road is freezing or signs that say

/🦌\
(50)
[400m]

to warn of crossing animals in the next 400m and set a lower speed limit.

The same obviously applies when it's not crossing deer but crossing pedestrians.

The speed limit isn't a suggested speed, it's an absolute maximum (excluding motorways with a minimum of 60km/h). If the road is frozen over you can't drive the speed limit either, the same applies when it's slippery due to rain or leaves or when the lights are off.

You always need to be able to react to sudden movement, no matter if it's a pedestrian crossing the street, a motorist leaving their own driveway or even a trash can rolling into the road. It should be in your own best interest to avoid accidents.

The entitled attitude you ascribe to the overtaking drivers but also display yourself is just going to cause problems for everyone. Trying to shave a few seconds off of your commute by speeding in dark areas isn't going to get you home any faster, all you're doing is increasing your own stress level and risking someone's life.

A little bit of respect on the road would go a long way to improve everyone's experience on the road.

Slow. Down. That's all there is to it.

Die Idee kam von der CDU, denn schon vor der Gründung der Ampel hat die CDU Coronahilfen begonnen auf diese Weisen umzuwidmen, und auch die CDU Sonderkredite aus dem letzten Merkel-Jahr sind jetzt gefallen.

The law says, regardless of the speed limit, you need to be driving slow enough to react to someone suddenly stepping on the road. If you can't do that while driving at the speed limit, you'll just have to drive slower.

Even if it's blocked for the average user, it'd still be awesome if we could circumvent it with adb. I've used KDE Connect to access my phone remotely for a long time, and now that feature is useless.

Solange das Funding für Fusion pausiert ist, geht's natürlich nicht voran.

It's an absolutely surprising amount, because Matrix spends less than that if you just count the people working on the open source offerings.

And that project has significantly more features, is federated, and has a much larger scope.

He also uses his own http server that in turn queries the ldap server solely for the articles. The rest is compiled into the http server binary.

Ah, you met fefe.

I pay for netflix, prime, disney+, paramount+, youtube premium, nebula, and a few more services. I buy music and movies, if available, on bluray and rip them to my own jellyfin server.

And yet, about 20% of what I watch, I've got to pirate because there's no reasonable way to actually watch it. Legal ways often only have the German dub, or are lower quality.

(When I was younger, my family was relatively poor, so back then I obviously pirated everything, but once I could afford it I wiped my entire collection and bought the exact same content properly again, for moral reasons obviously but also because I prefer to do rips myself so they've got proper quality).
