"This app finds missing map data in your vicinity and displays it on a map as quests. Solve each quest by visiting the location on-site and answering a simple question to update the map."
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...
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 👍
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?
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)
Indeed I only work here for a time.
Why did you assume they're an immigrant?
Uhhh... wut?
