New way of passing time: heading to @weblate, finding some random project that needs some Portuguese translations, and doing a couple of them. It's addictive, try it: https://hosted.weblate.org

Cláudia AcabadoOntem, em Olhão, na Républica 14, aconteceu a oficina "Alternativas à Big Tech" com o @john_fisherman. E a Sofia Matias a falar sobre a Wiki Editora (https://www.wikieditoraslx.org/). Enquanto anda tudo maluco com o AI, é refrescante saber e sentir que há quem fale (e pense) sobre uma internet mais descentralizada e justa.
OONI🚀 Today we've joined a group of 10 like-minded projects exploring a new way to fund internet freedom. One where small contributions can have outsized impact, and more people have a real say in what gets funded.

Yesterday, around 110 adults and kids cycled for safer streets in Coimbra. It was the 7th edition of Kidical Mass, organized by @coimbrapedal.
Minor Snowflake Volunteer update (1.5):
- Turkish and Japanese language support (❤️ translators)
- Dark mode splash screen
- @guardianproject's Ripple panic button support
Fred Rocha"But we decided to build a standalone Android app for running a Snowflake proxy, and called it Snowflake Volunteer. Install it on an Android device, configure it to run as you would like (only on Wifi or charging), and leave be to do its thing. Source code is available too."
@sdsantos and his crew built a solidarity tool for Tor. Check it out!

Snowflake Volunteer
The Tor network is an invaluable tool for circumventing censorship and staying anonymous online. And that’s why it’s blocked in several countries and regions around world. The community has come up with different ways of overcoming that through bridges to access the Tor network. Snowflake is one of those technologies, disguising traffic as an audio or video call. But to work, Snowflake needs volunteers to run proxies on their own unblocked network.
