There's a history of German public administrations using Linux and other open-source software. In particular, the City of Munich has pioneered this with their 2006-2019 LiMux [0] project, which was ultimately cancelled in exchange for Microsoft moving their German offices to Munich proper.
I'd like to caution the reader that Lunduke is a notoriously biased source, having drifted off into right-wing (and particularly anti-trans) activism in recent years.
Ha, it's a working title. The name I want for what this will become is `straylight v4`, but that name belongs to a friend, and it has to be a worthy successor to earn being called that. :)
I've had the very same experience in Bavaria, even with Munich having a reputation as "million-sized village". (otoh said problem was even worse in Berlin and the Ruhr valley, when I visited)
Over 180 million users in fantasy betting. Regular gambling has up to 370 million users during major tournaments. Truly harrowing numbers, considering India has about 1.1 billion adults...
Here in mainland Europe, it's hard to find a street in a city that doesn't have (fantasy) sports gambling establishments. The demographics here are mostly working-class immigrants, some unemployed people too. Pacifying the masses, I suppose.
Might not be what you meant, but German uses the same word for "state (federal subdivision)" and "country", known as "Land". In contrast, "Staat" refers chiefly to the administrative apparatus (implicitly of some country).
Having had a regular Hibreak since last August, I would like to caution about the build quality: in those 8 months, the display adhesive is progressively getting off and I'm not sure how much longer this'll live...
So a pre-yellow light? This seems like you just changed what we call a yellow light to the 4 flashing greens, and made the yellow the new red. If yellow means “don’t enter the intersection”, how is that different than a red?
The US sometimes has something similar: visibile countdown timers for the pedestrian crossing turning form stop to go, which coincides with the car light turning from red/stop to green/go.
This encourages people to run the light by trying to turn exactly as the countdown timer hits 0, trying to race against pedestrians trying to cross crossing pedestrians.
You could always do that before in most instances just by watching for the yellow on the cross street too. Though I think the green is often slightly delayed relative to the pedestrian light, precisely to ensure the car cannot win that race legally
