Fabulous #SouthAfrican local project iSinkwe. Used to add either a user-provided human-narrated audio or computer-generated audio to a standard EPUB3 document. iSinkwe does not translate the content from one language to another. It adds audio to documents that are already written in the language of the user’s choice. From the CSIR’s Voice Computing Research Group. https://www.isinkwe.com/ HT https://dh-ignite.org/

Weird, right?

It's the actual real-life praxis of the Leopards-Eating-Your-Face Party but there are still Taibbiesque dumbfucks arguing "well maybe leopards eating people's faces as public policy is a salient issue we need to soberly address in this zany modern society because some beyond-rich #SouthAfrican fuckbag wants ALL opinions to be valid and not just the ones that say getting your face eating by a leopard is bad."

@LetsRoc oh. have you seen #Nocembo's Grammy-winning "Best Global Performance" for "Bayethe?" Go there for traditional #SouthAfrican clothing. there.

Any of my #southafrican followers who have never been to a #naturist #resort, here is your chance. Bring your special lady (or guy) for a #special #valentine #dinner at #suneden!

Apparently, with my mask on I might look a bit Japanese or Korean… 🤔

I've been writing #besocial server rules. I started with 'be chilled' . Then it was a bricolage of the #SouthAfrican #constitution. Then it was about being kind and respecting one another. I managed to put together some initial guidelines with more depth after some research. I'm not sure there's an ISO spec for this. I am very interested to hear what other users and admins have to think about building great #fediverse #communities. #mastodon #mastoadmin

In my long career, tonight is my first White Tie State Dinner in #London. It is an honour to be in the presence of #SouthAfrican President #Ramaphosa. My main objective tonight is to not trip on my ball gown and to not cause an international diplomatic incident. Odds are 50/50 on all fronts if you’re a betting person!

@Justabloke well the server is a droplet so it's technically in ams3 in Amsterdam at the moment because of cost, relatively good privacy laws, power considerations and obviously packet travel distances but the aim is to build a small #SouthAfrican related community, yes. Thanks for the mention @junglegeorge24

I haven’t done an #introduction so here goes…
I’m a #SouthAfrican 🇿🇦living in #Taiwan 🇹🇼thanks to a #taiwangoldcard (https://goldcard.nat.gov.tw/en/).
I have a #PhD in #sociology & was previously employed as a tenure-track lecturer - but I found #academia too toxic to stick around. 
I’m an English #teacher for now, but I’m also working on some other plans/ideas. 
Lets chat.

Mastodon learning curve is steep. Seems like some servers are straining under the weight of the bird migration. Am I home at last?

I started a Discord server for #SouthAfrican #SmallBusiness and #Startup founders. If this is something you are interested in, feel free to join. https://discord.gg/yw6PKTCE88

While South African focused, all entrepreneurs and makers are very welcome.

Time for an intro: I'm a former lurker on the bird app, looking forward to the opportunity Mastodon provides to start afresh. I'm an academic in HE and DE, focusing on online legal education. I love nature but not hiking, house plants but not cacti, chocolate but not the milky kind , social justice but not virtue signalling. More rights for you doesn't mean less rights for me. I plan on posting a mishmash of stuff. #HigherEd #SouthAfrican #CuteCatPics #Literature #GoodVibes #HashtagsAreHardWork
