Cairo masterplan threatens ancient City of the Dead

Property developers - everyone's worst enemy. Not a care in the world what they destroy. They're only out to get what they want for maximum profit.

Surely we've learned enough by now to realise that we should be trying to preserve history, not destroy it.

On black background, there are pink squares.

The image is split into a huge grid. Within every field of the grid, There are smaller squares, that are randomly shifted to a side within the field, giving the illusion of looking down onto a collection of pyramids.

Each pyramid has a unique center point, so the pyramids appear to be viewed from different angles.

What I miss about #ramadan in #egypt are these Tables of Mercy...

Set up on streets for the less fortunate, they're packed with #free donated #food for folks to break their #fast.

The last hour before #iftar an uncommon calm descends upon #Cairo 's atypically vacated, quiet streets.

Then after the city has been holding its breath, this sublime, meditative stillness is punctured by the joyful sounds of community eating & celebrating together <3

From Google Maps, here are some examples of businesses and public spaces along the route that would be either bulldozed or suddenly have a 6 lane polluting highway right next to them. Mosques, schools, cafes, restaurants, shops, homes. #UrbanPlanning #Cairo

We're going overseas for today's #HigherEducationPostcard - this is Al Azhar University, Cairo

Founded in the 970s by the Fatimids, it focused on religion together with logic, rhetoric, and grammar (much like early European universities). In 1961 it added other disciplines, and was formally made a university, although as this card (which is from the early C20) shows, it was called a university long before that

@breadandcircuses @pluralistic It's definitely worth to have an admiring look at Cairo's (Egypt) "Zabaleen"/ garbage collectors sorting through 15,000 tons of daily garbage & recycling an impressive 85% of what they collected!

They are said to have created one of the world’s greenest waste-management systems.

It happens, when waste-management isn't handled as a corporate money machine.

Our writings about our #Egypt #travels have reminded me that the Egyptian #Cairo is not the first city of that name we have visited.

When we lived in Kentucky, we did a #Miata road trip to the far west of the state. On one of our day tours, we ended up in Cairo, Illinois at the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.

Cairo (pronounced Care'- O here) is a small town with a rich history both noble and notorious. Race relations have been strained since before the Civil War. 1/2

#Egypt is building a new administrative capital outside #Cairo, and they're doubling down on all the road mistakes of the past. Check out the roads in this rendering, and the construction photo. It's literally impossible to cross the street on foot. #urbanism

@dmoser Yeah - #Egypt only has informal public transport aka. "road taxis and minibuses" aside from a tiny metro net.

Personally, I think every city should have good public transport...

One thing to bare in mind, #inkscape can not currently use these fonts on canvas because of restrictions in #pango and #cairo disallow fonts from memory.

Titled ‘The Manifestations of the Arabic Language and the Splendor of Arabic Calligraphy’, the exhibits will take place at the Museum of Islamic Art in Bab Al-Khalq, the Palace of Muhammad Ali in Manial, and the Gayer-Anderson Museum in Ahmed Ibn Tulun Square.

Copying code out of libpoppler because it uses private variables and has no getters breaks my heart. It's so unfriendly to use, but i don't think the creators intended it to be used by outside programs.

It had a component where the #app would have to make #PDF into a series of images. Back then I was using #graphicsmagick or #imagemagick to parse through the #PDFs which took too much resources made my laptop hang.

Today I found `pdftocairo` part of the `poppler-utils` package in #Arch. It is lean, fast and the apt tool for me to finish that work.
