"Cyclists are forced to dress like construction workers as cars speed past with impunity
The Government’s approach to cycling safety is fundamentally flawed"

Pretty on point letter!
It doesn't touch upon how even for construction workers hi-vis isn't a stand alone solution.
On any construction site, open factory environment or industrial works there's strict speed limits and often strictly separated routes between anything powered and the rest of road users.
And on top of that the final responsibility is with the strongest road users: drivers.
Hi-vis bike helmets don't do anything when a distracted car driver ploughs into my toddler.

@CStamp Kids wearing helmets has nothing to do with safety around cars though. Adding it to these discussions is a distraction.
A helmet can help a bit if you're falling due to instability, cycle off the road, maybe a bit when you hit another cyclist. All at low speeds and low kinetic energy.If you're a kid ploughed into by a car the only thing that can help you is luck.

I don't think it breaks expectations.
It's also the way most social networks work. If the OP posts privately, all the comments and replies to comments are visible to *all* the OP's followers.
This is how Facebook, Instagram, and X all work.
They let you have private conversations with people that matter to you. It's one of the best parts of those platforms.

@dgelessus I managed to replicate this Wikipedia snippet in DDG by saying "lang:de" but uhhhh 😭

@elly @nina_kali_nina Amazing. I didn't even know of, or hadn't ever come across Linux in High School. 😿

@nina_kali_nina KNOPPIX was *great*. And underlines for me how much of our current computing world is a solution in search of a problem.

@nina_kali_nina For researching things like this, it's unfortunate that no search engine lets you easily say "give me results in ALL languages, I'll figure it out, don't worry". Even DDG with the country switch off seems to filter by rough region/language based on GeoIP, at least until you reach the second page of results.

Yes. That's equivalent to Alice setting their post followers only, and Bob setting their post public, but less confusing to the user.
(Edit: realized you hadn't said what Bob's visibility was set to. Anyway: UI quibbles aside, the answer is that you intersect the people who are able to view)

@nina_kali_nina It's more just luck that my country speaks one of the 2 languages whose Wikipedia mentions this fact :) Here in Germany, putting "ubuntu morphix" into any search engine naturally shows this Wikipedia article as one of the top results, and at least DDG even highlights the relevant sentence in the text preview.
