Good to hear they are still going 👍

switching.social (switchingsocial@mastodon.at)'s status on Thursday, 22-Aug-2019 18:30:04 UTC switching.social Perhaps foundations and/or governments can fund this kind of service through grants? (I think this happens with e.g. OpenStreetMap's servers?)

switching.social (switchingsocial@mastodon.at)'s status on Thursday, 22-Aug-2019 17:07:12 UTC switching.social Yeah, it's clearly not ready for "primetime" yet, but hopefully the work already done leads to something more useful to a general audience.

switching.social (switchingsocial@mastodon.at)'s status on Thursday, 22-Aug-2019 15:25:05 UTC switching.social By the way, there was some discussion in an older thread about installing Apertium without Google stuff, I don't know how much help this is?

switching.social (switchingsocial@mastodon.at)'s status on Thursday, 22-Aug-2019 15:10:26 UTC switching.social It's not perfect or even ready (it's missing many languages too including massive ones like German), but I couldn't find any other alternatives as developed as this :blobsad:
Hopefully someone can work with the code already released to make it more privacy-friendly.

There's a site called Apertium which is a free open translation system:
It's still under development, you can help out at:

deadsuperhero (sean@social.deadsuperhero.com)'s status on Wednesday, 21-Aug-2019 22:58:32 UTC deadsuperhero Hey, listen.
I've been unemployed for the last few months, recovering from intense burnout. I'm in the process of looking for jobs, but realistically, I'm very close to being broke.
I'm trying my best to live lean and come up with some kind of income...but to be honest, I need help. I've got only 400 bucks to my name right now, and bills are going to cause major damage.
I'm trying to work my way up to $1210 to cover rent after the next month. While I don't at all expect that kind of money to just be handed to me, I'm not confident that I'm going to be able to get a job in time to cover it.
My biggest costs right now are servers. I'm running We Distribute and VidCommons entirely out of pocket with no donations. This probably is why neither have been updated very frequently in recent months, but if they're to continue operation, I need at least 80 bucks to cover it. If I can't, both of those projects will be on ice for a while, with their sites taken down.
If anyone would like to help me financially during this trying time, here's some links for donations. I hate having to do this, but I'm trying to survive.

Different instances have different admins and rules. This is all explained in the official "What is Mastodon" video:
