Hello, good people of Mastodon!
I'm going to be migrating this instance to a new dedicated server tomorrow at 11 AM (Central Time) so uh, there's gonna be some downtime 😄

Looking for volunteers who would be interested in translating privacytools.io to any variety of different languages (via Weblate). If you're interested shoot me a DM :)
@schlink @kelbot probably Signal (for IRL friends/family) and Keybase (for online friends & acquaintances). They are both still imperfect solutions. Not sure what is so difficult about creating a great instant messenger specifically, when basically every other software category has decent alternatives, but here we are. cc @jonah

Affiliate marketing schemes are untrustwothy by design. There's no better example of this than VPN "review" sites. https://blog.privacytools.io/the-trouble-with-vpn-and-privacy-reviews/

Anyone want to help privacytools.io with some somewhat tedious tasks? 😆
I'm trying to add i18n support to the site so we can get some translations up! But it means I need pretty much every English string to be copied to a separate file to be translated. Info @ https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/issues/1106
@moz You're probably right. But it's good that the mainstream media is informing about this now.
