Occasionally I have to push "Life Artificial" by David Eubanks, a free #scifi novel (Creative Commons license). Yes, fanboi.
It is set in a post-apocalyptic world changed by gene hacking and #climatecrisis (written long before that was a hashtag). Most of it was "translated" from the XPlog of an #ai struggling to pay for their own server time. Lucikly #surveillance cams are everywhere.
Great writing IMO. Deserves to be better known. #books

Interesting case for shorter #copyright durations: about 15 years of protection could be optimal.
Write.as is now #FOSS! 🎉 We've named the software behind it #WriteFreely.
WriteFreely lets you self-host a single federated blog or a community of blogs. It's written in Go / #golang, it's lightweight, and runs everywhere -- even on a Raspberry Pi! (We tried 😁)
We just launched v0.1 this weekend, and v0.2 is already coming out early this week. You can try a full demo here: https://pencil.writefree.ly
Get started with hosting or find a permanent instance here: https://writefreely.org
