  • No, there is another category between “city” (velkoměsto) and “village” (vesnice): “town” (město). Legally, there’s the categories obec, městys (both are basically villages) and město (town/city), plus some can have different roles (s rozšířenou působností, okresní, krajské, hlavní), not to mention non-self-governing settlements can be named obec areas for road traffic purposes only. The Brno thing is just my opinion: a song by Nightwork considers even Aš to be a velkoměsto despite not making the top 100 with <13k residents and there being multiple bigger ones fitting the syllabic pattern like Hradec (94k), Ústí (91k) or Cheb (33k). Prague would fit too but the city center does not fit the song’s vibe.








  • 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.

    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 hyphen 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.
