I sometimes do this at work on our private mattermost server, but usually I do `nano ~/notes/file.md`

Gmail also still has a js free version.

The real great thing ThML is the div1 div2 div3 structure.
Converts really nicely into gemtext headings which work well in clients with ToC's.
Things which don't always work nice: block quotes, italics.
And I haven't implemented notes, footnotes, or links yet.

Announcing thml2gmi: my script which converts CCEL.org's markup to gemtext.

Demo: gemini://gemini.zachdecook.com/cgi-bin/ccel.sh

Try it out the following:
luther/galatians
anonymous/bcf
milton/paradiselost
owen/mort

Wanted to switch to qutebrowser for the configurability, but the default (vi inspried) keybindings are so overwhelming.
If you like vi and vi-keybindings, you're probably a QWERTY elitist.
(Btw, I use Dvorak 😂)

@rutherford
In university, I got marked down on a quiz for writing ≥ instead of >= on a handwritten programming quiz. (Python doesn't support unicode equality operators). I wish I had known enough to tell my professor "my handwriting just has ligatures enabled!"

@Untersuchende
False claims like "solar only works when the sun is shining"?

It won't let me vote in my own poll, but I'm not sure how I would... Low energy consumption and 'not-always online' can be ideals.

@Untersuchende
Which would you prefer:
1. A nuclear powered future of increased and consistent energy consumption.
2. A solar powered future of decreased and intermittent energy consumption.

@icedquinn
I believe the story was that he donated to support a proposition, and, it being a political donation, had to be tracked under campaign finance law. What I heard was that the (Obama) IRS leaked the donation records, and activists did what activists do.
@allison

Similar in principle to votes being tracked... the principles of liberty and transparency going against eachother... people get riled up more when money is involved.

And when you're writing an article, ALWAYS use relative links when referring to other wiki pages. That way the proxy-er can choose where the user goes.

So I just write a few articles, then set up a priority list of other servers I trust. If I don't like someone's article, then I just copy it and modify.

Users can either edit their hosts file, or change the proxy setting in their gemini client. They set it to the one whose editorial standards they agree with.

If you've ever seen that 'encyclosphere' project and agree that the centralized nature of wikipedia is an issue, but worry about immense cost-overheads with developing a website, consider: We make our own wiki articles on gemini://wiki.your.tld/Article.gmi
Then we each run a server which proxies requests made to gemini://wiki/Article.gmi -- programmed proxy requests to other servers.
Each article should start with its canonical URL, and end with the license of the article.
