met my first local punk just now and they said they are down to hang tomorrow. excited to understand what punkdom means in the #casablanca context

I sense gutterpunk / oogle adjacent vibes but am sure there is a totally different categorization in the Arabisphere

I assume this means there is a lan connection somewhere in this alley

Was trying to figure out if there is an active #OSM community in #Morocco
There is an inactive (since 2018) Twitter account at twitter.com/osmmaroc and the wiki page in English is super out of date wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mo, tho the French one has updates in the last month wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FR

@liaizon Yep, there's an active OSM Community in Morocco :)

ProofOfConcept : check the changes ^-^

Sitting in a cafe in #Casablanca, #Morocco this late morning. Most places are not on Google Maps so I thought to check and see, and yes, it is not listed. So I added it to @openstreetmap via @organicmaps.

@openstreetmap @organicmaps @liaizon I just learned the moors are the same tribe as the More’s of the west and Maur’s of Punjab. They are Sythian Jats who fled an invasion. Some headed west and others south.

@liaizon you may enjoy streetcomplete.app/! it gives you small quests to complete osm data at your current location, prompting for things like wheelchair accessibility, outdoor amenities and many more.

Having trouble transcribing the #Arabic name of the cafe, if someone cares to help

I was reading this this thread about how the New York Times butchers all the diacritics from non English languages and I was like this must be fake theres no way they still do this so I looked up a recent article about Vietnam and fucking hell they are still doing this.
Here is an article (unpaywalled) you can look at to verify archive.ph/dzV80

Look up any of the place names mentioned in that article, every one has the diacritics removed. Imagine if a magazine removed all the vowels from American English. "Bdn flw frm Nw Yrk t Ls Ngls"

this 3 wheeler wrapped in tape really captures the spirit of this place #casablanca

@liaizon

It seems something to transport fish.

How many people do you know in the "civilized" world who would put some cardboards below it to avoid stinky drips on the public road?

Liaizon Wakest

I wonder if its cause I am in a weird time zone or some other reason but my posts have been getting way less traction lately then last month

@liaizon it's probably that. the mildest shit i have ever posted keeps going incredibly far

#Azorius is a new part of the #threadiverse started by Ted Unangst (@tedu) of notorious #Honk fame.

It is already federating with #Kbin (azorius.net/g/tech@kbin.social) and #Lemmy (azorius.net/g/linux@lemmy.ml)

It is written in #Go and is under active development (humungus.tedunangst.com/r/azor)

:fediverse: :fediverse: :fediverse: the #fediverse continues on!

maegul

@liaizon @tedu

Yep, already subscribed to a group from lemmy. Cool!

That’s how many federated platforms with good group support? Lemmy, kbin, friendica/hubzilla, azorius …?

Liaizon Wakest

TIL @tedu is working on a #fediverse link aggregator (hn, digg, slashdot, reddit) and they just added federated chat to it

@liaizon i'm always questing for the still-working payphone, but i think it's been at least a couple years since my last encounter.

'Gigabyte' in Morocco is abbreviated to 'Go' from the French 'Gigaoctet'

@liaizon
octet_length() is a standard SQL function for determining how much space a text string takes. The length in characters is given by character_length().

@hypolite is this always used in the French context?
