Have you considered a wiki instead? I use OtterWiki and I like it a lot. It has version control using Git too.
There are several dozen different wiki softwares out there, you can compare their features using this site.

Can you explain your opinion of the differences? A friend and I are interested in learning more about Discord alternatives that we can get our less tech-savvy friends to switch to.
I liked trans porn before it was cool! Now that it’s mainstream it’s no fun anymore. :( /s
Maybe not the best example, but The Prestige was very fun. I thought the reveal was worth waiting for, it sort of felt like a whodunit.

Hmm, I tried it out after seeing this but I’m not really much of a fan of the mobile-first approach. I’ve moved on to HortusFox and it’s more what I was expecting.
My wife is the one who’ll be using it though, so we’ll see if she likes it.
The problem comes when producing work. A generative model will only produce things that are essentially interpolations of artworks it has trained on. A human artist interpolates between artworks they have seen from other artists, as well as their own lived experiences, and extrapolate […].
Yes, but how does that negate its usefulness as a tool or a foundation to start from? I never made any assertion that AI is able to make connections or possess any sort of creativity.
Herein lies the argument that generative AI in its current state doesn’t produce anything novel and just regurgitates what it has seen.
There’s a common saying that there is no such thing as an original story, because all fiction builds on other fiction. Can you see how that would apply here? Just because thing A and thing B exist doesn’t mean that thing C cannot possibly be interesting or substantially different. The brainstorming potential of an AI with a significant dataset seems functionally identical to an artist searching for references on Google (or Pixiv).
Having someone copy your voice to make it say things you did not say is something many will be very uncomfortable with.
So is this your main issue? I’m just not sure that that is really a valid reason, since many people are very uncomfortable with like, organ donation, pig heart valves, animal agriculture, ghostwriters, real person fanfiction, or data collection by Google. I’m sure there is something in the world that most people see as either positive or neutral that makes you very uncomfortable. For me, it’s policing.
On the economic front, I agree - these companies should have been licensing these images from the start and we should be striving to create some sort of open database for artists so that they are compensated. It’s possible that awarding royalties, while flawed, may be a good framework since they could potentially be paid for all derivative works and not simply the image itself. But that may be prohibitively expensive due to the sheer number of iterations being performed, so it’s hard to say.
It’s not theft, the artist still has their work. If anything, it’s copyright infringement. When some 16-year-old aspiring artist uses another artists’ work as a reference or traces something, what’s that?
I guess you could call it practice, but then doesn’t AI do the same thing by iterating based on its dataset? Some AI outputs look terrifying and janky - so did my art when I was younger.
I dunno, like this issue isn’t as simple as I used to think it was. If we look outside of economics (because artists need money to survive, like all of us) is there actually a problem here?
I’m still trying to figure out how I feel about all of this, but it’s pretty obvious AI isn’t just gonna go away like NFTs did. I really am interested in discussion, I’m not trolling.
So like, I guess I’m just wondering how that refutes his point that it’s a tool for artists then.
I personally am aware of people who run local LLMs trained on their own art so they don’t have to spend as much time sketching or doing linework.
Maybe you’re just not as open-minded about this as you could be? It’s being used in sketchy ways by a lot of people, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a place, especially at the idea stage.
He argued that it’s just the same when an artist draws inspiration from other peoples’ art and creates their own - which is just plain false.
Hey, can you articulate the difference though? Stating this as a plain fact seems kinda like you’re constructing reality to fit your opinion and maybe that’s what your friend is pushing back on.
It’s true that AI is often trained on copyrighted images, but artists use copyrighted images as references all the time. I know AI can’t be literally “inspired,” or have artistic intentions, but like, what actually is the difference? Other than philosophical differences that involve like, the inability to emulate actual creativity.
Seems like AI is just faster, because it’s a computer that can do tons of adjustments instantly instead of iterating over time like a human. Anyway, just food for thought. I don’t think AI is going to replace artists entirely but a lot of companies are definitely going to try to see how far they can take it.
For reference:
Cool, now you can benefit from bulk pricing agreements like Canada has been since the 1960s. Isn’t a bit of effort worth it? Woo. Hope you guys can expand this quickly and make it easier to qualify, it’s such a win-win.
Insurance companies can eat my ass.
Trump’s lawyer fails to get the judge to recuse himself because his daughter worked with Democrats in 2020
Asks the judge to postpone sentencing (which was already postponed earlier) on the grounds of election interference on part of the judge
I understand that these are worthwhile tactics, but the context of the motions make his lawyer look like a total fool.
Also Chinese immigrants, some as young as 12.
Yeah, that’s fair, I just think humans are an embarrassment overall. We think of ourselves as superior, but here we are subjugating our fellow humans out of a disinterest in real solutions.
There’s nothing setting us apart from animals in that sense, we just have the ability to rationalize and justify the horrible things we do.
Trump probably thinks he has to act that way because he believes ruling with an iron fist is key to success from watching his dad do it and prosper, not understanding that his dad had better business sense than he does.
I simply don’t agree. He would treat his family the exact same way, so he is just reaping what he has sown for the last 60 years. Look at how Trump’s gone through life - it’s normal for him to treat everyone as disposable.
If you’re not trying to be a good person by 70, it won’t be happening. This is the closest to karma that we will probably ever see a rich person get, so I’m inclined to enjoy it. If it disgusts you, fine, but I want to see him crash and burn because it’s long overdue.

My wife’s dad makes this garlic chili oil where he tosses a bunch of red Asian chili peppers (that he grows himself each summer) and a ton of minced garlic and blends it with a neutral oil.
I normally mix it with some mayo to give it a thicker texture so it’s more dippable but it’s good by itself too. It goes great with essentially everything, but my favourites to use it with are eggs, pizza, and meats.

Yeah! It lets me focus on content instead of building the actual site so I thought I would suggest it given OP’s use case.
Also the CSS can be modified with a separate file that overrides the default, so it’s pretty customizable without touching the actual config files at all.
