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

some active development in the middle of the medina in #Casablanca #Morocco

Was trying to figure out if there is an active #OSM community in #Morocco There is an inactive (since 2018) Twitter account at

X (formerly Twitter)

OpenStreetMap Maroc (@OsmMaroc) on X

Association #OpenStreetMap Maroc. Développer les usages d'OSM au Maroc, enrichir la base, faire bouger les lignes #opendata #opensource #collaboratif

and the wiki page in English is super out of date https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Morocco, tho the French one has updates in the last month

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 @npub1jmpv...4hcl via @npub16l6v...4zxy.

Organic Maps

Free Android & iOS offline OSM (OpenStreetMap) maps app for travelers, tourists, drivers, hikers, and cyclists from creators of MAPS.ME (MapsWithMe).

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 https://archive.ph/dzV80 via @npub1qh4q...q43p https://queer.party/@emptyfortress/110836987033408906

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

TIL @tedu is working on a #fediverse link aggregator (hn, digg, slashdot, reddit) and they just added federated chat to it https://azorius.net/p/qG94yLvqfYjf3l14Ty-The-chat-has-entered-azorius

Sitting in a riad in Casablanca, Morocco, reading about Selk'nam (a language and people from Chile / Argentina) on Wikipedia and then following a tangent to this article about language revival:

The New Yorker

Can Dying Languages Be Saved?

Linguists and activists are struggling to preserve endangered languages—and even to resurrect extinct ones.

The American perspective is strong here watch out, but there were some interesting tidbits I hadnt heard before, like "Kōhanga Reo" or language nests. Nor did I know that Hawaiian was banned in schools till 1986.
