A mild blinking light beside a respectable brightness light is the best.
If there is only a flashing light, it can make it very difficult to judge distance, direction and speed of the cyclist. So an always-on light should be required.
And very few other things on the road have blinking red or white lights, which makes it very easy to identify that they are a cyclist. So a (not-blinding) flashing light is extra safety for the cyclist.

Reflective tapes are fine, but don't work for pedestrians in the dark.
Reflective tapes are extra safety.

What a coincidence, I also invented prison

Funnily enough, GDPR/cookie laws say denying consent needs to be as easy as granting consent.
I've noticed a few websites with "Deny All" buttons next to the "Save Preferences" button. So, some people are paying attention to the law.
I'm pretty sure your country will have a site/service for reporting non-compliant websites.

No, the "this one is legit, but is generally a bad idea" is in reference to your comment having a random terminal command with no explanation suggesting you blindly copy and paste it.

You can distribute your public key, and have people manually add it to their trust stores.
But OSs and browsers ship with preloaded trusted certificates. This way, the owner of a preloaded trusted certificate can issue new certificates that are automatically trusted by people's OSs and browsers.
To become a preloaded trusted certificate owner, I imagine that there are stringent audits and security requirements. Part of that will be verifying the identity of the requester before issuing them a certificate.

With LetsEncrypt, they either need to talk to a server hosted at the domain to retrieve a token (generated when the request is initiated).
This proves the requester owns/controls the domain and the server (the requester has correctly set up DNS records, and placed the required token on the server). This is HTTP challenge mode.
The other method is by a DNS challenge. The requester adds a TXT record to their nameservers with the token value, letsencrypt then inspects the DNS records for the domain and will issue a cert when it sees the token. This proves the requester owns/controls the domain.

So, proving identity is required (otherwise anyone could generate a trusted cert for any domain). And trusted certificate issuers are required, so people don't have to constantly import (possibly dodgy) public keys

Oh, a real engineer? ducks

Pinterest invaded Google image search a while ago.
Tiktok invaded their video results.

Google have kinda sorted it, but it really depends on what you search for. The less "real" results you expect to find (or the more esoteric the keywords), the more garbage tiktok/Pinterest you have to scroll through.

And search engine hits

The issue is that nobody trusts corporations/capitalism.
Companies will have to increase prices due to tariffs because the line has to go up.
And when trump implements tariffs and the (if) he folds, the prices won't go back down. They will stay at that level. Because suddenly, C-suite get to show a huge line-go-up and they get to receive a huge bonus that reflects this 25% (well, lower. But the required rise due to tariffs suddenly being free real-estate) profit increase that they pull out of their ass.

No, trump built a wall. It fixed the immigration issue. There are no immigrants in ~~ba sing se~~ America. Well, unless democrats are in power. Then it's a crisis

Google says University of Technology Sydney.
Adding "medical" to the Google search returns.... University of Technology Sydney, and a health consultant in Australia.

So... I'm going to go with University of Technology Sydney.
While Google results have tanked the past few years, I can't find a combination of keywords that even suggests some sort of sexual/urinary ("naughty bits") infection.

DuckDuckGo returns Ultimate Tennis Showdown.
Adding "medical" suggests to add "syndrome" and got me to "Ulnar Tunnel Syndrome" ("ulnar neuropathy at the wrist where it passes through the ulnar tunnel")... So, too much masturbation? I'm struggling to make it naughty

I was 8 when I moved to the US. It was bizarre. Obviously, as an outsider, I felt I had to fit in. I never questioned it. I didn't understand it. I just said the words.
I guess at some point you understand the words (I left the US before then), but by that point it's probably become a habit. It's still the thing that everyone else in the class does. And you still want to fit in.
Never mind understanding the politics of the US that you have the right to not do something that is habitual and seems completely normal.
