Definitely not in the German speaking countries, we have different blinds. You pull a cord down for the blinds to go up, and vice versa. Then the cord is tied to a hook or button.
Your windows open differently too. Instead of angling inward/outward along either of two axes, ours usually just slide up-down or left-right, remaining firmly attached to the window sill.
No offense, but HN and Reddit are both American created, operated, and primarily trafficked sites. It's not unusual to assume an American audience.
If OP came out assuming a Nairobi design that wasn't used anywhere else, or if they went to the heise.de forums and posted the above; now that would be odd/call-out worthy.
It looks like more than half the traffic is not coming from the US. So even with most traffic coming from the US many here aren't.
Good news is that Ikea had a system like that. So there will be many households in Europe that's also fighting with blinds.
