  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 will 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.

  DDG uses Bing though and doesn’t have its own index.

  For Qobuz there is an unofficial native client, with DAC passthrough: github.com/vicrodh/qbz

  Works very well.

  Yep, plus a bunch of AI generated music (or music they bought from producers for cheap onetime fees) that Spotify throws in there so they don’t have to pay actual artists.
