<p>用Ghost写文章，经常输入拼音然后拼音会消失，也打不出中文，英文倒是没有这个问题</p><p>Gemini表示可能是：<br>Ghost 的编辑器非常“勤快”，它会实时监控你的每一个按键并尝试同步状态或自动保存。当你还在输入拼音时，Ghost 的自动保存机制或 DOM 刷新机制突然介入，强行重置了光标位置。此时，尚未转化为汉字的拼音序列会被编辑器认为是非法输入或被覆盖，从而导致“消失”。</p><p>好像真是那么回事（）</p><p><a href="/tags/ghost/" rel="tag">#ghost</a> <a href="/tags/blog/" rel="tag">#blog</a> <a href="/tags/中文/" rel="tag">#中文</a> <a href="/tags/markdown/" rel="tag">#markdown</a></p>

Again when I was trying to add some updates to an blog post from a few years back it seemed <a href="/tags/hugo/" rel="tag">#Hugo</a> update had break changes that prevented the theme from working. Since I do not have the knowledge to write a theme myself l, I turn to <a href="/tags/chatgpt/" rel="tag">#ChatGPT</a> and instructed it to write a theme from scratch, with minimal styling and no JS at all. It now works locally and I probably will switch to it soon after more tests. I hope using a minimal theme will make it less likely to break with future Hugo updates<br><a href="/tags/blog/" rel="tag">#Blog</a> <a href="/tags/foss/" rel="tag">#FOSS</a> <a href="/tags/ai/" rel="tag">#AI</a><br>
