I am now using #Zensical for my #documentation website, using the same code I used for Materials for #mkdocs. I converted the mkdocs.yml to zensical.toml using #chatgpt, and I didn't like the TOML format. It looks unnecessarily complicated. So I will continue using YAML until it becomes necessary.

The chapter outline is ready for the #crowdsourced book on Digital Literacy. Please feel free to contribute or comment.

People oppose the use of #AI and #LLM because they don't credit or compensate creators. What are your views about the #pirated material distributed by sites like Anna's Archive, Sci Hub, etc? Piracy sites have been operating for decades, long before any AI, offering books, movies, music, software, and more illegally, harming creators. But I never saw anyone adding a "/piracy" page on their website denouncing the use of pirated material.

Here is the repo for the first book we plan to launch as part of the Open Handbook Commons. Right now, it just has an outline. People are invited to comment or contribute.

A rough website is ready. I could use some help with the #UI and #logo. I am using #Quarto #SSG and hosting the website on #GitHub pages.

Would you guys be interested in contributing to a #crowdsourced #writing project? I have just started, and it is still at the conceptual stage.

I now have 110 repositories in my #GitHub account, so today I decided to clone all of them to my #doomsday #vault just in case GitHub goes away tomorrow without notice. I also set up a cron job to pull all the repositories every day at 4 am to keep them up to date. This is for backup. I will not use this location to work.

Here are the steps that I used:

I started this thread on Reddit. I am wondering whether people here are interested in it or would like to collaborate?

I have found a use case of my #tilde/#pubnix website. It's to publish my online journal, which contains dated entries longer than a toot/tweet but shorter and less structured or themed than a blog post. I am using simple.css by @kev and a #Python script written by #ChatGPT to export the entries within <article> tags into an #RSS feed. It looks great so far.
