I immediately downloaded it because there are a lot of gaps in the map data where I live. Unfortunately it asks what is written on the street sign but there are no street signs here in Juba, South Sudan. I could tell them how everyone calls the street but I can’t tell them what is written on the street signs…
Oh you live in South Sudan and are on Lemmy? I think you’re the first person from Africa I encounter here. I guess you’re a imigrant? Or are you born there?
Indeed I only work here for a time.
Just to put things into perspective:
Bottom line, can’t automatically assume that someone from South Sudan, isn’t richer, better educated, more experienced, or whatever in this day and age (¹). I bet you can find a bunch of “mid class” people with an interest in FOSS in the capital.
PS: once upon a time, I ended up in an FPS game with a kid from the middle east, who after some casual conversation, and some Googling, turned out to likely be the second son of the prince’s nephew… and it wasn’t a scam, just a kid who wanted to play a game.
(¹: this was the goal of all who contributed to the popularization of Internet access, and it’s nice to see it working)
My point has nothing to do with money or education, but that Lemmy is practically only used in North America and Europe (with Japan being the exception of the rule). Here in South Korea nobody other than a few immigrants use it. So I wanted to know if this is the same case in African countries or if they are themselves born there and still somehow found Lemmy and started using it.
There are options to leave notes, or does not exist. at least for the ones I have entered
I imagine you already know, but be sure that you’re saying that the street sign doesn’t exist, and not the street itself 👍
