Ended up in this 🐇🕳️ cause I was looking at Magic Earth (which is a proprietary OSM client for phones) and it states on its website that it is continuing the mission of General Magic (the company that made Magic Cap)
"As the operations expanded, the company reportedly let rabbits roam the offices to inspire creativity." via https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Magic#cite_note-GM_quits-2
nostr:npub1k08pe3kghynslu5gh9cqyguud2lyk5fl84wqm073tzxqnmk04ygskh6xvn you may enjoy https://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.

nostr:npub1jl28dwr9mm25965czze0evag2txusde9p4hcnarlh9zwj3evj23sxpyg9v I am not sure what your posting of this link means. This persons article seems all over the place. The term Moor (or Maur or Mauryas) is used all over the world and in different contexts means very different things. The idea that all the uses are connected to a single tribe is just very easily disproven.

They are Sythian Jats who fled an invasion. Some headed west and others south.
nostr:npub1jl28dwr9mm25965czze0evag2txusde9p4hcnarlh9zwj3evj23sxpyg9v this is not true. The term "Moor" is an exonym used by Christians to mean "not Christian/dark skinned people who have different culture" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moors
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 nostr:npub1jmpvmakwjns8avphjx9k7wr4nurztsnqy8w4n2a6n58ratkqqy5sru4hcl via nostr:npub16l6vecvkh6fz4uegf3r84cj72zh7l606rt9x39zqvv8vxhku9luqss4zxy.

the nyt has established orthographic rules which can easily be identified as anti-global-south, or anti-non-germanic, If you will...
diacritics are handled differently e.g for german names: no changes here; see https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/18/science/alex-muller-dead.html
butchering diacritics are diacritics appears to be restricted to the rest...

nostr:npub1k2mf4fj99g2nwtzp5na7kcp5ynw9m5zcjl3gs58fhyxqtnqp934s24rgha this is like conspiracy theory level ridiculous. I mean I know the system has an innate anglo/white supremacy bias but damn this just really pushes this over the top for me.
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

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"

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

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
