Why not both? Both is good.

Thank you! I still have three or four chapters to write and then quite a bit of editing to go on the whole. I think a finished e-book is at least two months out, but I'll see what I can do about a preview release.

The main problem is I don't currently have a way to contact folks who are interested! I'll maybe add a mailing list signup form to subscribe for updates. Meanwhile, I am posting updates to my blog (https://dusty.phillips.codes), which has an RSS feed, as well as to LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/dusty-phillips/) and Facebook Author page (https://www.facebook.com/dustyphillipsauthor). I think Patreon also has an option to follow me without sponsoring, but I'm not clear on what gets posted to that feed (haven't been too impressed with Patreon, TBH).

cool, good to hear. I bookmarked the page indeed and a mailinglist for the interested I think is a good idea.

In the meantime, reading https://www.lazyvim.org too and messing around with some plugins.

Thanks!

Thank you for this, I've been meaning to author something similar, but I'd choose the exact same words.

After 20 years of depression my death was averted by the words "I'd rather see you institutionalized than dead." Two weeks on the psychiatric ward and an ongoing series of changes later, I now lead the happiest life possible. You can, too.

So now, I give these words back to the community. I don't know who you are, but with all my heart: I'd rather see you institutionalized than dead.

I am very happy those words changed your life.

But personally, I would rather be death than institutionalized.

It's published creative commons, so the piracy is legal, even encouraged.

I would not want to make the word "pirate" synonymous with "copy".

Isn't it already, though? From how the media uses it, pirating software/ebooks/etc. is copying without permission, right? So in this case, the use of the word "pirate" is a bit ironic, since it isn't really possible under the CC license, but I would think it is still basically valid.

Except the CC license is explicit permission to copy. So even under the media's definition of piracy, this is not it.

Again, the use of "piracy" here is ironic, sarcastic, facetious.... As such, it doesn't really equate "piracy" with "copying" in a general sense, only in the sense used the author of the website. In a general sense, everyone knows it isn't piracy if it's legal.
