it's a git repo, you have to clone it

i've added a header to that effect since it seems to have been confusing people

There's something ironic about condemning someone for "ascetic renunciation of pleasures such as guis" and publishing it as a Markdown file available only by cloning a git repo.

the markdown file does say that this point of view resonates with me ;)

there are other advantages as well. if someone clones the git repo, they'll still be able to read it after i die and my site goes down; and there's no incentive for anyone to pressure me to rewrite history by deleting things from it, which is a thing that has happened to me in the past, since i can't delete them from remote clones
