Getting into localisation
I have recently made the decision to explore #localisation as a possible future career. I have begun contributing to the #translation of various #freeSoftware projects (especially #TrinityDesktop), both to help out and to build experience alongside a portfolio.
In the future, I'd love to get into #LocJam once it happens again, and perhaps help translate some #indieGames.
Translation and localisation are really quite fun, moreso than any other career opportunity I have been looking into to date! Watching the progress bar of "untranslated strings" slowy turn green is so satisfying.
If only there were job opportunities nearby already.

A couple of years ago, I proposed the following:
Build a migration path from Meta/Facebook/Threads to the Fediverse, and place ads on Facebook, to let people migrate to the Fediverse very easily.
The ad will compare the Fediverse ( uncensored, free ) with Facebook ( censored, closed ) and advertise the benefits of openness.
On clicking the ad, the user will optionally be asked a few questions, and be matched with a Fediverse instance based on their interests. The user can also skip the questions, and choose a random instance.
The user will also be offered the option to join a "Migration Registry" to re-connect with their Facebook friends on the Fediverse.
The user's profile will be migrated to the chosen Fediverse instance, along with all data, and contacts.
If they used the "Migration Registry", the user will be reconnected with all their Facebook friends, who also opted into the registry during the Migration. Re-union in Heaven, or the Fediverse ( close enough ) 😜.

This marks the first time a Blender-made production has won the Golden Globe for animated feature, proving that major success in the medium is, at least theoretically, open to all creators, not just those working in the studio system" The power of #FreeSoftware
