I sense gutterpunk / oogle adjacent vibes but am sure there is a totally different categorization in the Arabisphere
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
super cute stick figure drawn into the wed clay of the medina walls in #casablanca #morocco
I assume this means there is a lan connection somewhere in this alley

nostr:npub1j3cxv57fqn8c4eugump5am4qdfsk0fkyf8aa6a9kj6nf58ft9xlsxg39nr what do you mean? The color of sand?
nostr:npub1pjm4f63lwexexvx8u273daxczyxxmurcuj9jjzal3ypdmlcy45gqy73adk looks are deceiving. Suuuuper active place, from the other areas I have seen like this, it means they are very slowly taking it apart and rebuilding whats there. Seems all the bricks and stones get reused here so it takes a very active effort to remodel an area.

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There is an inactive (since 2018) Twitter account at https://twitter.com/osmmaroc and the wiki page in English is super out of date https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Morocco, tho the French one has updates in the last month https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FR:Maroc
I passed by it on my walk back my riad and worked up the nerve to just ask them what the name of the cafe is in Arabi and they replied "باموس قهوة" and then said in Spanish they called "Vamos Coffee" and I said shukran and walked away. About a block past they yelled for me to come back and demanded they take a picture of me in front of the cafe.
nostr:npub1wnaqnkvjp2qt2kzsqqycjdd6kcff6t873vr53ru7wgkntmah8zcqwjewh8 like if someone came to Casablanca and then asked for King of the Forest cafe there is no way for them to find it. But if they spoke "Dew Boys Coffee" they could probably find it eventually
nostr:npub1wnaqnkvjp2qt2kzsqqycjdd6kcff6t873vr53ru7wgkntmah8zcqwjewh8 translation isnt really appropriate for a place name tho. Should really be transliterated into Moroccan Arabic
ok went to get a second coffee

6 dirham (0.60¢) for an espresso with milk to go. Can't complain!

How is magic earth? organic maps and osm are both not great and magic earth does have the advantage of offline maps

nostr:npub1k08pe3kghynslu5gh9cqyguud2lyk5fl84wqm073tzxqnmk04ygskh6xvn In many languages (Czech is the one with which I'm familiar), removing diacritics *changes the letter*. An 's' with a hacek over it is a different letter than an s without. Just as ñ and n are different letters in Spanish.
To reframe your analogy, the NYT isn't removing vowels, but it's randomly replacing vowels with different vowels.
nostr:npub1l7mx4h49gstf0wvjkpsqdznzayfkjlrtysmuauuf62gk9lx4uakszwqkhl It was simply an analogy that I thought to write. But yes you are right that its closer to changing vowels then emitting them. Tho I guess this also depends on the context of what language they are doing this to.
#Casablanca #Morocco #Cyber
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.
Having trouble transcribing the #Arabic name of the cafe, if someone cares to help
