An FYI about the redesigned display of hashtags in posts in #Mastodon 4.2.0:

If you want the hashtags to display 'out of line', they not only have to be on the last line of the post, but they ALSO need to be in a new paragraph.

Hashtags in the last paragraph but #within #text #like #this won't be moved out of line, it has to be only hashtags.

My grandma used to tell
My darling you're my angel
Now I said farewell
My love, you're still there, I can tell. 

In the tea I drink 
In the honey I'm eating
In the birds I'm seeing 
And when together, we're grieving. 

I can just give you flowers
And let you know that you still matter 
In our life, there isn't any hour
When we're not together. 

They said until death tear us apart 
Did they really know how deep love grows in one's heart?

#Introverts #Text

- Two types of introverts
 Type 1: They like to be alone. They like being quiet and quiet environment. They prefer staying in because there is too much stimulation outside. They get tired very quickly when they are exposed to the outdoor too long. They can be in their room as long as possible without getting bored. There's always something going on their mind or their desk. 
Type 2: They like to be alone. They are not necessarily quiet. They get easily bored. They like to go out and explore - on their own. They like traveling and trying out new things but often wear headphones so that they can keep the experiences to themselves without interacting other people. They don’'t mind stimulation from the world - as long as they have enough privacy to digest it by themselves.

More Barthes: Communauté https://ceoln.wordpress.com/2023/08/19/more-barthes-communaute/

#barthes #weblog #text #amreading

This post is the repetition of my #introduction. First of all. You can ignore all other accounts, since this one give me everything I want.
-
Sometimes if not, many times, I like to write a lot, trying to explain few little things of reality, using words.
Reality is so beauty that we can only #enjoy it, because we know how #complex is each #fragment of #simplicity. The #key is always in our #ability to #imagine.
-
The focused subject is as well what create the necessary #tools to #find the expression of it in #reality.
Is curious that subjectivity is for each self, objectivation of reality, which makes things more #funny. The #Solipsism is the condition.
Is like to #imagine that we are #Universes and there is no other thing that can deny your absolute notion of reality.
-
When I #follow you, it mean I may like the content that you share, but when I interact with it, is where I wish to learn more and create a possible and natural conversation, where two persons try to explain their own interpretation about the subject in causa, so that condition, #lead both persons to #grow. Is the #psychologic aspect of those who #dream, which if you think, even #dogs or #cats do. :D
-
Thank You #GOD to giving #CONSCIENCE to all simples animals that doesn't #TALK or #READ text, but I am not sure about the #Free will of #Choice that you gave to human kind, while I cannot deny about mine. In fact I cannot deny yours, which is the condition that declare solipsism a false theory. But is #true at the same Time. And all of it is only #data (objects and functions) that are in #memory.
-
#Theories are like myth's and illusions.. which is our inability to intercept correctly, reality.
-
Ah, I had other account here in this #mastodon #instance, but I got a strike for giving tips to someone to hack reality. Sometimes, those reactions, lead me to think that no one like to have new suggestions to learn how to deal with reality, which is #strange.. and not.. we go again to our eternal positive and negative condition when dealing with reality, which is solipsism..
-
I like what is possibly #True. But When I do, I try to care it. Is like trying to care flowers to make them grow #stronger. They will be like many others, but better in upgrading their personal #skills.
-
Even then, we always need to point into some direction, which includes #intentions. I think reality is fine as it is, but you know, I am just a #Monkey and I like to imagine a better world. That world can be only possible if others agree with it. I don't care who you are, what cultural base you have. You will be persons for all eternity. People have the ability to create what ever they wish to. So, I join this instance because in fact give me everything I need to possess to feel #good. I can write a lot :D Monkey #style. I can explain.. GOOD !!!
-
Sometimes I have this style, which can be a bit provocative, but what can I do, if not, being my self even if here, I am nothing more than simple text. I am nothing.. I am just data.. only useful if you wish to do something with it. But that is not me, just the data that is here, #impressed in #electrical #signals that our #brain can #process, like #machines do. As you can see.. I am nothing than #text. So since text is data and data can be organized in #onjects and with them we can create #functions, I always like to tag everyone is the #world and talk about #education approaches.
-
A #lamp is only a #lamp .. if I am the expression of #Yang.. is only light.
https://art.odicforcesounds.com/pages/OscarFM/index.html #Music is #light for my #mind. I don't know about you but I always like to think about #China.
-
I have a crazy illusion that I have the #mission to talk with the #Dragon. Some #old knowledge says he will help me to dream in a safer way. But I cannot prove that, because that is my illusion. In my illusion, there is the other side of the coin, which is the #Tiger. Even if the Tiger can be good, like all cats, they have that skill that prove to be #brave, while sometimes, #evil.
-
Dragon have different approachs, and normally, dragons are more respectful, while abcessive with perfectionism. I don't know the Dragon or the Tiger, but here I am talking to them. #USA #ASIA #AFRICA #EUROPE #INDIA #RUSSIA #AMERICA #Galaxy
-
I am just a peaceful monkey that likes to write and produce music and nothing more.. is what #develpers or #educators do, most of the #Time.. even #Scientists, #jornalists, etc...
-
But you know.. I am in this shell of Time, that can repeat it self, every time that the conditions to happen are true in reality, else they couldn't happen. :D #activism or #artivism is what some call.. I don't know.. but #rationaliy is in my way of being the self.. that is why I need to give a plent of congratulations to Jerry.
-
I can dive into the Scientific research that is based mainly in #documents, created by "us". :D ..
-
I think "God" did like me, but I don't understand why. I cannot explain how thankful I am, but you know, he gave me this mission where an #Eternal #license needs to be accomplished and here, with you, we can solve many problems together.
-
Is what #technology is doing for years, but we need to focus technology to something good and #healthier for all. #Japan try that, putiing robos as workers. That is good. They have a lot of others #crazy things.. good imagination with #math .. what they cannot ? but hey, USA or SouthAfrica is the same. is Knowledge in the brain. :D
-
#dance and #enjoy #life and #leave all things that create bad #moods. I like #animals too. all kind. I like #Linux. #Terminal with #Black background, where I can write something and create light, even if doing something wrong. :D

So I've decided to (try to) read #Barthes more quickly now, not stopping to try to make sense or ramification of every paragraph.

If I were someone who writes (wrote?) in books, I might be scrawling on the pages here: "what?", "no!", "what can this mean?", "obviously false, but poetic", "intriguing in its wrongness".

Is pleasure vs bliss a property of a text, or a property of how a particular reader experiences a text? I think he sees no reason, has no desire or intention, to be consistent on that. Okay!

📢#OutNow in #OA: 'From #Handwriting to #Footprinting: #Text and #Heritage in the Age of #ClimateCrisis' by Anne Baillot.

How do we currently preserve and access texts, and will our current methods be sustainable in the future?

In 'From #Handwriting to #Footprinting', Anne Baillot seeks to answer this question by offering a detailed analysis of the methods that enable access to #textual materials, in particular, access to books of #literary significance. Baillot marshals her considerable expertise in the field of digital humanities to establish a philological overview of the changing boundaries of ‘access’ to literary heritage centuries, deconstructing the #Western tradition of #archiving and how it has led to current digital #dissemination practices.

Okay, just One More Paragraph of #Barthes ; the second and final part of the section called "Brio".

It begins:

"The _brio_ of the text (without which, after all, there is no text) is its _will to bliss_..."

Now "bliss" here is «jouissance», which is the more orgasmic kind of pleasure, in contrast to the milder and more civilized kind which is «plaisir».

Along with the very Nietzschean "will to" («volonté de», as in «volonté de puissance»), we get a delightful alternative to the Will to Power: the Will to Climax.

"..._will to bliss_: just where it exceeds demand, transcends prattle [le babil], and whereby it attempts to overflow, to break through the constraint of adjectives -- which are those doors of language through which the ideological and the imaginary come flowing in."

The notion of overflowing, of surplus, is very Zarathustra ("I teach you the friend and his overflowing heart"). I didn't really get the thing about adjectives, though; why those rather than verbs or nouns?

I asked ChatGPT 4.0, as one sometimes does these days, and it said inter alia that adjectives "give color, texture, mood, judgment, and shape to the otherwise neutral facts that nouns and verbs present. In other words, adjectives provide a sense of subjective interpretation and perspective." I thought that was pretty plausible.

It remains odd to me, though, that the doors through which subjectivity flow in are seen as _constraints_ which the overflowing abundance of the Will to Bliss wants to break through.

Again perhaps this is more poetry than truth-claim, and I shouldn't worry about it too much. But on the other hand perhaps Barthes really wants me to think about this overflowing bliss as something opposed to or at least constrained by "the ideological and imaginary" (or the doors that allow those to flow in). I'm not sure what that would look like.

In the original, it is not literally to "break through the constraint of adjectives"; it is rather (at least in this edition) «de forcer la main mise des adjectifs», which is (I think?) a bit overloaded between "to force the hand" and "to overcome the stranglehold" (whence presumably Miller's calmer "constraints").

Not sure yet if that helps any. :)

And that is that thread, for now.

It is worth noting that that is all from a _single paragraph_ of this here essay, and it consists mostly of gesturing at deeper issues that one might run off and follow for an hour or a day or a lifetime.

Which is why I seldom finish this sort of thing, even when they are really short... :)

Good link to Nietzsche; my American Analytic School training points out that "subjective" and "existential" are generally considered rather applicable to much of Nietzsche.

Of course Barthes knows this, so we are left to think that he is either making, or taking for granted, some deeper point about the important differences between the three terms, which is basically left as an exercise for the reader.

Whee!

He brings Nietzsche in here, which feels extremely appropriate as for instance Zarathustra raises the same question as to say truth vs poetry as this does.

"This 'for me' is neither subjective nor existential , but Nietzschean ('. . . basically, it is always the same question: What is it _for me_?. . .')."

This approach perhaps works if we note that «je ne puis me laisser à dire» might be more directly translated as, not "I cannot go on to say" but rather "I cannot allow myself to say".

It might be strictly-speaking _true_ that one could, when judging a text according to pleasure, say "This one is good, that bad"; but Barthes cannot allow himself to do that, for the reasons stated in the rest of the paragraph (which are themselves to be taken as statements of things that he does and doesn't allow himself to think or do, not necessarily statements of literal truth).

@Ericbomb Is it like #Zork and other early adventures where one has a #text-based interaction system?

PLEASE READ AND #boost

Finally, I am very happy that it is finished 😊

A thoughtful poem about the world.

It could almost be a second #introduction, while writing it I often thought it represented me very well.

But I think it does for many.

Thank you so much for reading, only takes 2 small minutes 🙏🏼🌹❤️

For those who can't read it, I'll make a thread about it later.

A poem

I saw


I saw; the sadness
Saw; the look,
the tears.

I saw; the agony 
Saw; the hopelessness,
the hatred.

I saw; the despair
Saw; the dirt.
I saw what I did not want to see.

I saw how a world collapsed.


I heard; the laments
Heard; the cries,
the pleading.

I heard; the crying
Heard; the fight
the hatred.

I heard; the shots 
Heard; the dirt 
I heard what I did not want to hear.

I heard how a world collapsed.

I felt; The pain
Felt; The death,
the suffering.

I felt; the guilt 
Felt; the hunger,
the hatred.

I felt; the emptiness
Felt; the dirt 
I felt what I did not want to feel.

I felt how a world collapsed.
#AltText
I saw the tears flow
in a raging river of guilt

Saw the fearful look,
Standing out among thousands

Saw carrying on shoulders,
the laments of this world

I heard the shots,
shattering all hope

Heard the crying,
and the breaking of souls

Heard the screams,
Dominating everything else

I felt the silence,
that swallows everything

Felt the hatred
drowning in the dirt

Felt the death,
that no one can escape


I saw
heard
felt
how a world collapsed.


It was mine that collapsed.
It was mine.

#QuestionOfTheDay : Say I have three plain #text files containing three separate #OCR scans (by different individuals/entities at different dates/times) - is there a way to easily use #ML to combine them to create the best version of the text?

Ideally pre-built software, but if necessary I'd take a code based solution.

#question

#Textfiles.com is such a #bizzare blast from the #past. To a point every time I find that site again (basically #remembering it exists 😅) and read through some of the #text files. It gives a bit of #nostalgia. While some of the stuff are wayyy beyond my time I've seen references to them in forums before.

It's a nice read through perse. It got directories/categories of #ASCII art to #stories to the most fun... The #Anarchy section. Just remember anything in the anarchy section is uhhh... Don't try the stuff listed. 😂💀👀

The site in question:
http://textfiles.com/directory.html

humbly asking advice from any #gamedev or #coder peeps, especially those involved in #text ...
What's the structure/method I should use if I want to craft a sentence using wildcards, but choice of each subsequent wildcard is dependent on the last - i.e. not just naive independent separate lists. Is it quadtree?? some kind of map?? -
eg choose from A,B,C to start, then choose from D,E,F *BUT* if A was chosen, can only choose E,F or if B was chosen, can choose any from D,F etc...
thanks!

If you have a video that conveys some information and doesn't provide any other value than conveying information, there is absolutely no reason for that video to exist. All of it could be conveyed via a blog post. Or give me a transcript. I can very easily get through a transcript of a video in less than five minutes for something that could take 30-45 minutes of my time.

when you think in your head, how does that work? do you think in:

Technical question for #AI folks.

Is #predictive #text on phones, a standalone use of AI?

Thanks.
