To whom it may concern at Project Gutenberg (@gutenberg_org):

I believe that Edith O'Shaughnessy (author ID 42826) and Edith Louise Coues O'Shaughnessy (author ID 58124) are the same person.

I just finished A Pail of Air by Fritz Leiber over at Project Gutenberg. It's great post apocalyptic tale about earth thrown into a deep freeze after a rogue Star tears the planet from its orbit. There's not a lot of action but the world building is phenomenal. I'd love to read more stories set in this universe. #scifi #pulp #apocalypse #ProjectGutenberg

Declassified #CIAGuide to Sabotaging #Fascism Is Suddenly Viral

The World War II-era "#SimpleSabotage Field Manual" is full of steps that office workers can take to resist leadership.

by Jason Koebler Jason Koebler, Jan 29, 2025 at 3:52 PM

"A declassified World War II-era government guide to 'simple sabotage' is currently one of the most popular open source books on the internet. The book, called 'Simple Sabotage Field Manual,' was declassified in 2008 by the CIA and 'describes ways to train normal people to be purposefully #annoying telephone operators, dysfunctional train conductors, befuddling middle managers, blundering factory workers, unruly movie theater patrons, and so on. In other words, teaching people to do their jobs badly.'

"Over the last week, the guide has surged to become the 5th-most-accessed book on #ProjectGutenberg, an open source repository of free and public domain ebooks. It is also the fifth most popular ebook on the site over the last 30 days, having been accessed nearly 60,000 times over the last month (just behind Romeo and Juliet).

"'#Sabotage varies from highly technical coup de main acts that require detailed planning and the use of specially-trained operatives, to innumerable simple acts which the ordinary individual #CitizenSaboteur can perform,' the guide begins. 'Simple sabotage does not require specially prepared tools or equipment; it is executed by an ordinary citizen who may or may not act individually and without the necessity for active connection with an organized group; and it is carried out in such a way as to involve a minimum danger of injury, detection, and reprisal.'"

I was looking for something fun to read and stumbled across The Radio Ghost by Otis Klein over on @gutenberg_org . It's got everything you might want from pulp fiction, a pretty girl, a haunted mansion and the power of SCIENCE. Check it out! #pulp #books #radio #ghosts #ProjectGutenberg

My ninth FANuary boost for a person or account on Mastodon that makes my Mastodon experience a little better goes to –

Project Gutenberg (@gutenberg_org), and I'll include Project Gutenberg New Books (@gutenberg_new).

Project Gutenberg posts author profiles as well as links to books; today's profile is Elizabeth Gertrude Britton.*

Project Gutenberg New Books announces new books daily. Tsundoku!

Is there a #ChatGPT type thing only trained with @gutenberg_org data? I want to use that.

**A History of the Inquisition of Spain; vol. 1 by Henry Charles Lea**

_“The work meticulously explores the inception, evolution, and profound impact of the Spanish Inquisition, an institution pivotal in shaping Spain's history and, by extension, influencing the broader civilized world.”_

Okay #kiwis . I am playing around #kiwix for the first time. What are your top libraries to download? I am starting with #wikipedia and #projectgutenberg

Any other #recommendations ?

You know how #RichardStallman #GNU laments #javascript but also how nothing works without it? https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html
Alright, so say you torsocks lynx ( #KU ) #ProjectGutenberg. Alternately, you could use highest security #TorBrowser with #noscript. But have you tried #Vanguards #Whonix GW with #vlc ? There is a lot that can be done with vlc for media that wouldn't work in a tor browser (netscape-plus) with vanguards. You would think that there is more anonymity because more people use the more popular #browser / #terminal -plus method but there are trade-offs with functionality and less data leaking. Is less data leaking a form of fingerprint? @mokancan

Prose and Codes

A recent game find that scratches multiple itches. I keep coming back to it. The ciphers interested me but the texts keep me trying new entries. The fact part of the profit goes to Project Gutenberg is a great bonus.

I can't believe that Project Gutenberg has 74k+ FREE ebooks that I can just download if I want

Pretty amazing

I dag var det to piger der stod og diskuterede covers på deres versioner af "Crime and Punishment" i boghandlen, der var nogle af dagens 1000 der lærte om @gutenberg_org

Det vi får igen for den ret ringe aftale #copyright er at vi alle får de værker der modstår tidens tand.

Metropolis, the novel by Thea von Harbou on which the film is based, just showed up (in English translation) on #ProjectGutenberg. https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/73727

@gutenberg_org

From the website, this looks like yet another attempt to seize control of people's property (e-books, in this case) and then rent it back to them for an ever-increasing recurring fee. Notice how the digitized books are to be stored on CogniLore servers.

Shame on #ProjectGutenberg for getting involved in this.
