Africa has just taken one of its boldest steps yet toward digital sovereignty. On September 1, the African Union switched on the Continental Internet Exchange (CIX) – a sweeping project designed to connect Africa’s 1.4 billion people through a shared, continent-wide digital backbone.

Global platforms like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft remain accessible, but they are no longer the default gateway to Africa’s digital economy.

That not only protects citizens from foreign surveillance but also ensures that revenues generated from digital services circulate within African economies.

Mutual Aid - Surgery - Politics 

I don't often do this, but an artist friend of mine is trying to raise funds for gender affirming surgery in a hostile location. They're selling off cheap commissions to try and raise about $5k. If you can help, or signal boost, the link is here - furaffinity.net/view/62317800/

@Auric it's not something I've done before but happy to give it a go ^^

If you wanna pass them my contact details (they're on the site in question, lol) then we can talk specifics

@Auric I'll need to do some stuff here first to reorganise my DNS entries/redo my server to another domain, so probably good to go in a couple of weeks if that's okay!
It would normally be quicker but bad brain/lack of spoons atm ^^;
