I missed typed as I know that Sign is also.

What I meant was: "Te Reo is an official language (the only written, written in Law - English is only a common language as far as I understand)"

I'll blame the bottle of wine I was 3/4 of the way through at the time ;)

"Residents of a new Whakatāne subdivision have rejected the Māori name chosen by local iwi Ngāti Awa, calling it impractical and too long."

"Under the council’s Road Naming and Property Addressing Policy, the subdivision developer has the responsibility to suggest appropriate names for roads, but consultation with relevant iwi is required."

"In a meeting on August 18, council put forward the motion for approval of the road name “Papakangahorohoro Road”. Council staff wanted to proceed given the area had “huge cultural significance” to Ngati Awa. The motion was supported by mayor Victor Luca."

Please read the article.

PS I have ad an address of lot xxx/yyy, suburb. before a 'proper' address was gazetted.

I'm elitist? F me.

It truly is one of the eiser [longer] te reo names that are in our good green [or not so] country.

How is using our only codified written language a headache - really?

oh my god - just give up. Its not that hard a name to spell when we have places like Foveaux Strait, Balmacewen, Corstorphine just to name a few non Te Reo name that are 'hard to spell' or are a 'mouthful'

well it's a new subdivision that isn't named yet, the local Iwi were consulted and put forth papakangahorohoro as the traditional name for the land

with the eye's on it in the media and people like you getting upset over it - I doubt it, unless you/they are deliberately being obtuse

Even as a white gen x-er with probable dyslexia I would possibly have issues spelling spelling not living there, but if you lived there I really can't see the problem with papa-kanga-horo-horo (shit, look at that I spelt that correctly first time [yes I looked it to check])

You are the one in that thread getting hun up on a te Reo name when Te Reo is an official language (the only written in Law - English is only a common language as far as I understand), they, and others have called out the developers and you fo a quite an easy Te Reo name.

I have seen issues with 111 having issues with an English street name - Dick st. It took three calls to get EMS to attend because the first two went to (i guess) the same controller who insisted that Dick st was a prank call.

I don't like how they exclusively use memes, and seem to group post, but on the issue of the street name I think you are in the wrong.

Not really, I messaged @dave so he could be on top of it if it got 'interesting'.

Now you have got very anti hexbear and 'they' have not been antagonistic in this thread.

Get over yourself, we can al do Ngāruawāhia well enough cant we?

I'm 50 this coming birthday, had little Te Reo at small white town NZ schools, lived in the UK for 1/3 of my adult life, and would have little issue with that as my street address

Well I think that comment did deserve what it got in the second one. Cant we all (in NZ) pronounce Ngāruawāhia fairly well?

I wouldn't support defederation based on those two threads, but you hexbears can be a bit 'hot' in some topics

see below

select person.id,name,local,local_user.email from person join local_user on person.id = local_user.person_id where person.id =2;

an I have a 10 y/o cpu or two, and I can run windows, iOS about 10 linux vm's and lxc's and a shitload of docker containers, home automation, NAS and firewall all on it. MS just needs to get over it's self sometimes

it's the next thing for election crime detection, you know because one of the 500 mac address that will be visible at a pooling place will be the voting machine calling home to china or Hillary's home, or... you know some where. For < reasons >

Mr pillow's https://electioncrimebureau.net/ was hacked the other day

I love the place the title was truncated - often how Linux seems to be when the new start to tinker

I have had a dig around some of Mike's 'projects', Frank* etc. They all look to have one thing in common ( rather 2, but first thing first), they seem to be there to drive money into Mr pillow's pockets and promote his agenda - does he have plans to run for office?

Secondly - I feel like my brain decreased in size and got smoother while reading some of the shit posted as 'News' on FrankSpeech
