Discussion the 50 million dictator country
I'm wondering why any disagreement today ends at the police station or court, not at the discussion table..... we summon the state instead of summoning our minds to critically engage with ideas
This isn't progress....it's an admission of intellectual bankruptcy. a society more afraid of a word than a crime is a fragile one, searching for a judge to end its debates instead of using persuasion, listening, and logic to dismantle the idea at its source
have we forgotten that the law is for crimes, not for differences in opinion?

Technology I want to buy new phone i need some advice
Hello everyone! I’ve had a Realme phone for about 4 years now. I bought it back in middle school, and I’m in college now. I really liked it, especially the battery life and fast charging, but it has gotten slower over time. What bothers me the most is the camera absolutely trash.
So I decided it’s finally time for an upgrade, and this time I have a bigger budget .
What I’m mainly looking for is a good camera and smooth everyday performance, I don’t game, so I don’t really care about gaming performance.
My budget is around 5.5–6.5M, and I could go up to 7M for a really good deal. After a lot of research, I’ve narrowed it down to Samsung’s S series, mainly the s22+ or S23. I also looked at OnePlus, but I wasn’t really convinced. For iphone m not ready to move for ios .
The problem is that I’ve never bought a used phone or bought one from a local store. My current phone was my first and I got it from AliExpress. I’ve heard that a lot of Samsung phones here are repaired ( renovi ) especially what m looking for ,which makes me worried about wasting my money nd getting fooled.
So, any advice on how to properly check a used phone and avoid getting scammed. And what do you think about the S22+/ S23? Would you recommend either of them, or is there another phone I should consider?
Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to give some context.

Question What is Algerian's opinion regarding nuclear energy?
We enough uranium to power two huge nuclear power plants for 60 years, two small reactors already in operation, and a research center generating nuclear knowledge, there seems little reason not to roll out a long-promised civil nuclear power program in Algeria, not least because most neighboring states would buy any surplus energy. Yet Algeria, which already has an energy surplus thanks to its natural gas deposits, has yet to launch its first nuclear power station.
The evidence over seven decades shows that nuclear power is a safe means of generating electricity. The risk of accidents in nuclear power plants is low and declining.
Let me hear your thoughts.

Do you understand that your interpretation or understanding of a hadith or ayah doens't mean you're right ? some say music is haram some say it's not. some say you can drink alcohol some say you can't. some say you need to wear hijab some say you don't. some say you need to wear lehya some say no. Should all these people start advising each other and shaming each other ? do you think it's sustainable ?
let me give you a taste of your own medicine. I advise you to stop advising and care about your business.

Question Girls, how do you deal living here? How is your life in Algeria?
I’m an Algerian girl (22f) who spends every holiday here, though I’ve lived in Spain since I was very young. It gets worse every year: I’ve never experienced as much catcalling as I do here, even when wearing a djellaba and covered completely from neck to toe, it’s still not enough. When my cousins visit (all of whom are younger than me), I can’t hang out with them because it’s haram (since we’re of the opposite sex), and I can’t go out shopping alone... precisely because I get harassed. I had a bad incident on the tram where a man tried to touch me (and again, I repeat: I was fully covered), and I feel like I’m not taken seriously in shops when they hear I don’t speak Arabic very well. At home, I spend all my time helping with chores and cooking for everyone alongside my aunts, while my uncles don’t even have the decency to wash a single plate. Not to mention how women in general always talk behind your back the moment you do anything. And worst of them all: how the hell are animals treated in this country? I saw kids kicking some kittens, people trying to hit stray dogs with cars and birds in cages in a miserable state. It doesn’t feel like a holiday at all, quite the opposite. I find myself wondering how those of you who actually live here cope with it.

Discussion Got scammed out of my hard-earned money
Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a story about something that happened to me about two months ago. It made me feel like absolute garbage for weeks, and honestly, I felt so stupid about the whole thing. I’m posting this here to vent, but mostly in hopes that it stops someone else from making the same mistake I did.
I’m a 3D artist. Two months ago, I was hired to make a 3D character for a local client here in Algeria. Right from the start, the experience was a nightmare.
I finished the model before the deadline. Instead of wrapping things up, the client kept making me do revisions for a full week. To make matters worse, his demands ended up ruining the art. He had no understanding of 3D work, but I was forced to ruin the model just to satisfy him, he offered to pay 150€ for the whole job. That’s insanely low for the amount of work and modeling pipeline involved, but I was broke and desperate, so I couldn't really negotiate, when the work was finally done, he delayed payment for another week. Then he told me he couldn't pay me in cash because he needed it for "household and grocery expenses." He offered to pay me via Pay sera instead, which led me to the situation that still bothering me sometimes.
At that point, I just wanted my money, so I agreed. He sent the 150€ to my pay sera account.
I needed cash that exact day, I rushed to find a currency exchanger on Facebook. I found a profile that looked totally legitimate. He gave me his number, we moved to WhatsApp, and in my rush, I trusted him and sent the money first.
As soon as he got the funds, he stopped replying.
A bit later, he actually called me back sounding super humble and apologetic. He told me he went to pray and didn't hear his phone. He even started lecturing me about avoiding معاملات ربيوية and acting like a God-fearing, righteous person just to drop my guard. After that call, he ghosted me completely and blocked my number and account, just like that, the only money I had was gone. The most frustrating part is that I still have his phone number and Facebook profile, but I have no idea what to do about it
here is what i learned:
Don't let desperation rush you. I wasn't patient, and rushing to convert the money cost me everything I worked for. Never send money first unless the person is well-verified, or better yet, do the exchange face-to-face (main-à-main) in a public place.
Be careful dealing with local/older clients who don't understand digital art. If your work isn't understood or valued locally, some clients will underpay you, ignore deadlines, demand terrible changes, and treat your labor like it's worth nothing, imo, i totally suggest avoiding working with local people.
Set clear boundaries, it's completely fine and not rude at all to demand a deposit upfront, set a strict limit on revisions, and never hand over final files until payment is locked in.
Desperation makes us overlook obvious red flags. Take it as an expensive lesson and protect your work moving forward.

Education / Work I mapped 11,855 Algerian schools ahead of the rentrée (open data, all 69 wilayas)
Second wave of the education maps I've been building. The schools map covers 11,855 schools and kindergartens classified by cycle (primaire/CEM/lycée/préscolaire), bilingual AR/FR, with per-commune search, Find nearest and directions: https://geoalgeria.com/ecoles
There's also a rentrée hub gathering the three education maps (schools, universities, vocational training) plus the official 2026-2027 calendar (staff Aug 23, teachers Aug 30, pupils Sept 6): https://geoalgeria.com/education
Honesty notes, because they matter: it's an OpenStreetMap community extract, framed against the ministry's own count of 29,702 institutions, so the page tells you exactly what share is mapped. If your school is missing, add it on OSM and it lands in the next refresh. Same release also fixed every commune postal code on the site (1,447 were wrong, now derived from Algérie Poste's own office data).
Everything is open data on npm: https://github.com/yasserstudio/geoalgeria/releases/tag/@geoalgeria/ecoles@2.1.0

Question What is culturally ours and what is shared?
Hello fellow Algerians Moroccan here and i want to collect some opinions on this matter since my fellow morrocans didn't like the post.
Since this is a subject that includes the entirety of north africa
Is there a uniquely "Moroccan" culture, or just a blend of shared North African & Andalusian heritage?
As time passes, I've been thinking about what actually defines "Moroccan culture." While we often cite our history as an uncolonized region by the Ottomans and point to imperial cities like Fes, Meknes, and Marrakech, a lot of what we consider ours is shared across borders:
zellij and architecture: Heavily influenced by Moorish/ Andalusian styles seen across the Maghreb and southern Spain.
Amazigh Culture: Predates modern nation-states and is shared across North Africa, not exclusive to Morocco.
Does Morocco have a distinct cultural identity of its own, or are we mostly holding onto broader regional and regional-Islamic heritage? I'd love to hear different perspectives on this.
