  • Thanks to everyone who responds or replies to my polls. They're one of my favourite parts of being on the Fediverse.

  • @zwol at this point I'd forego semantic, and just take easy and nice to look at. If I were writing a book today, I'd author it in Markdown, and then convert it to...whatever...for editing, or whatever at the very end. Before publishing, I ended up converting to an OpenOffice doc with the publishers template for editing, anyway (but I didn't originally write it to be published, it just worked out that way, so the OpenOffice step wasn't originally in the plans).

  • @ann3nova this is such a specific thing to obsess over, I love it. I drew my own pointers back then, and the one I used most looked pretty much like this. Same shape, but different colors.

  • @swelljoe I completely agree that it becomes tiring looking at all the tags. Not sure I've ever seen a markup language that was both semantic and pleasant to read in source form, though.

  • @zwol I wrote a book in Docbook (SGML first, and then converted to XML later) about 25ish years ago, with a custom vim configuration. It wasn't pleasant. Yes, the tools were bad, but also it's just really sort of tiring looking at all the tags and the processing toolchain was dire.

    I was using a LaTeX-based toolchain for the PDF generation, I don't remember details, but Sebastian Rahtz was super helpful when I ran into mysterious issues.

    I wouldn't do it again. Different time, different me.

  • @jannem Yeah, like, considered as a thing-in-itself apart from the tools, the major complaint I have about DocBook is that the documentation of _how to write a book using DocBook_ is inadequate.

    Many people have very similar complaints about LaTeX.

  • @Esoteria you might be a little too young for this classic scene from "WKRP in Cincinnati".

    It looks like the ESTA application process is about to get quite a bit more complicated. Check this proposal for changes to the process:Agency Information Collection Activities; Revision; Arrival and Departure Record (Form I-94) and Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA)Among the changes, here is what jumps out to me:CBP is adding social media as a mandatory data element for an ESTA application. The data element will require ESTA applicants to provide their social media from the last 5 years.[…]CBP will add several “high value data fields” to the ESTA application, when feasibleEmail addresses used in the last ten years;Family number telephone numbers used in the last five years;I’m not sure if those fields will be optional, or if omitting or forgetting some of that data can result in not getting an authorization of entry.I’m honestly not quite sure how I would provide such data. I use unique email addresses for most services out there. Do they accept wildcards as email addresses? 🙂In any case, comments are open so I would encourage everyone to send your feedback, maybe that will help make that process clearer.Written comments and/or suggestions regarding the item(s) contained in this notice must include the OMB Control Number 1651-0111 in the subject line and the agency name. Please submit written comments and/or suggestions in English. Please use the following method to submit comments:Email: Submit comments to: CBP_PRA@cbp.dhs.gov.It seems pretty clear at this point that the US administration does not want foreigners visiting the country anymore 🙂

    This is shaping up to be even bigger than last time. It's rare for an individual protest to suddenly cause a positive change, this is about building a movement and showing strength and supporting each other. Visit https://www.nokings.org/ to find a location near you.

    "When the history of this era is written, there will be much to say about the behavior of large corporations. And none of it will be good. … What we are witnessing now in the way of corporate acquiescence to the rise of authoritarianism is a familiar story."~ Austin Sarat#Trump #JimmyKimmel #FreeSpeech #fascism /6https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/sep/19/trump-ben-and-jerrys
