🇿🇦 Launching https://di.day/en in Gauteng, South Africa — free data privacy & protection help, every 1st Sunday of the month, for those who need it most.

I'm donating my time (Linux/iOS expertise) to make digital independence accessible. But this isn't a solo mission. I need 2 passionate co-organisers/co-founders to build this with me — and ensure it outlasts any one person.

Home — Digital Independence Day

On the first Sunday of each month we organise Digital Independence Day. This is when we reclaim our digital freedom and switch to democracy-friendly digital alternatives.

Pretty impressed with my municipality right now.

Woke up Christmas morning to a beautiful new water feature on the neighbour's sidewalk, thanks to a burst water main. Also very low water pressure. So I reported it, then started filling bottles (we have about 50 liters worth of bottles for this purpose). An hour later, a work crew arrived to turn off the water and excavate the pipe. An hour after that, the plumbers got here, and they've been working since. Half an hour ago, my ward councilor arrived to make one of her "we are proactive, remember this next election" videos, but we overheard her chatting to the workers before she started, checking if they were okay, could she bring them refreshments... yeah, the system is working, the people involved are awesome, I am very impressed.

In case you missed it, there will be multiple road closures around #Johannesburg, #Tshwane, and #Ekurhuleni today and tomorrow, because they're doing a "dry run" of the G20, so that they can plan ahead and understand the effect on traffic patterns.
