Yes. It technically does improve accuracy (homophone correction, for example) but the occasional errors are worse and way less obvious.

It's a 2x2 grid of vertical 2-panel comics. Could be made clearer by dividing them with thicker lines.

It does format text in the editor pane by default now but uses a big warning with a button to disable it.

However, the built-in code highlighter, much
like in many Lemmy frontends, highlights
some words/symbols depending on the default
language. Therefore, it's best to not use 
4 spaces at the start of each line for a code block.
Instead, this one starts with "```text" and 
ends with "```". No extra indents and I get
to specify the highlighting language!

Edit: Damn

That's best solved with lane-specific vertical signs, which are uncommon (very few road-wide fixtures except large wayfinding boards) but not unheard of in my country. If the right turners get their own lane, that is. Also, if the road is curving and thete's an intersection with onefrom the left ኮ, it seems the straighter one should be the main road.

By default, sidewalks and similar paths are pedestrian-only. Unlike Germany, Czech Republic is notorious for being overly explicit about what is allowed where.

Signs like End of cycleway are super overused:

Overuse

There's also a separate sign for segregated foot/cycle paths.

Germans (and similarly, other countries following the Vienna Convention) do it like this:

Bike path
Bike path

No bikes
No bikes

How about this? Is this a bike-free road, as in Alkoholfrei? Or free for bikes to ride on? That's why text doesn't belong on road signs. Mostly.


          

(Yes, I've since learned that it's the latter: -frei in a compound word and frei as an adjective are different but you can't tell if that's meant to be a space because it's a bloody pictogram and 4 letters.)

No, American signs mostly use "NO" in text to indicate "not allowed". Very inefficient. (Edit: apparently R5-6 exists for no bikes. However, almost all other bans are verbal.)

In Europe, we use multiple thin black slashes over a greyed-out sign to indicate the ban has ended.

KDE Connect is also a control option

That's the thing: it's one of the few laptops you can buy without RAM and disk (of course only usable if you have these parts already)

Don't forget the Donald Duck dick pic from John Oliver's Last Week Tonight that gets brought up with every duck story (last time with the Reflecting Pool).

As a Czech, you already know that but the brief democratic Czecho—Slovak Federation (1989-1992) also had a "Hyphen war" (actually just an argument) where Slovakia was not content with the longest dash available and wanted an "and" in the middle, breaking grammatical rules. Greater disagreements later resulted in the countries' peaceful dissolution on New Year's Eve 1992.

But the languages are different enough to be distinct despite being largely mutually understandable (you can use Slovak in Czech courts to this day). This means there is no embarrassing doubling or tripling of legally required text like with Slovenian & Not Slovenian & Legally Distinct Not Slovenian.
