So we can't use em dash anymore — lest we anger the mob. Truth be told though, English teachers have always discouraged em dash overuse because it is a subtle art and very easy to get wrong.

…

replied to:

The funny thing is that in the UK, we don't really use the em dash anyway. We use the hyphen (I guess en dash?) with a space each side. So the em dash has always looked a bit odd to us... 😊

replied to:

There are dashes (-), as well as en dashes (–), and there are em dashes (—), not to miss the mighty center dot (•) that looks like a perky boob when surrounded by brackets haha

replied to:

Just get and read Chicago Manual of Style, or Oxford Style Manual if you so prefer, and you’re all set to use the various dash’es (and many other things).

replied to:

There’s other dashes to pick if you want to steer clear of the almighty em dash!

replied to:

The anti-slop mob is tiresome. With a careful and appropiate use of ai it is possible to make a lot of interesting stuff. And I hate even more when the mob "profs" that the text is ai using those ai detectros that can't detect ai.

All emails from textlog go to my junk folder, . Using iCloud+. Not sure if anyone reported that before, so here I am. :-)

replied to:

Yeah it's happening to people. It's because the email contains a link and we don't have the reputation yet. Not sure what to do, have you tried reporting it as 'Not spam' in your client? Maybe if enough people do that it will fix. Gmail works ok.

replied to:

Yup, I am moving them out of it. It might take a while, but eventually should be OK. All good, hopefully now with a password I will not have much use for them any more.

کوئی نجراجہ لیکر آیا ہوں میں دیوانہ تیرے لئے

I have brought some Najraja, I am crazy for you

continued:

آپ کے دیئے گئے کی درست اور معیاری اصلاح "کوئی لے کر آیا ہوں، میں دیوانہ تیرے لیے" ہے۔ اس جملے میں 'نجراجہ' کی جگہ درست لفظ نذرانہ (تحفہ) ہے، 'لیکر' کو الگ الگ لے کر لکھا جاتا ہے، اور 'لئے' کی درست املا لیے ہے۔

The correct and standard correction of your given is "I have brought a , I am crazy for you". In this sentence, the correct word for 'najraja' is 'nazran' (gift), 'lekar' is written separately, and 'lay' is spelled correctly.

What's happening

The pendulum has swung far in the direction of favouring machine generated content over that from actual people. I wonder when it will swing back?

replied to:

What pendulum? The algorithms’? I don’t think any human is happy about their feeds filling with slop.

Yesterday I with help from the clanker, as an experiment, ported a web app from go+postgres+svelte to ari+duckdb+htmx served locally by busybox httpd. It’s an analytics “dashboard” so the stack makes sense. So far looks good. Now I work on the code in vim to make it mine. I want fewer layers of abstraction and less complexity, and this is a learning experience to that end.

replied to:

Woah, I never thought of duckdb as the database for an app. Using it for lite data analysis all the time.

replied to:

Yeah - but as I wrote it’s mostly a (financial) analytics dashboard so duckdb makes sense. I’m considering to add SQLite if needed - but for now there isn’t a need.

Trying tsoding/tatr idea for task tracking in the project. Instead of his C implementation asked CC to implement tatr.el. I do similar thing with vulpea, even my org notes have timestamp ids. Tatr tasks live in the repo, which is good.

például Telegram, Facebook, stb., de ilyen ügynökökkel bárki találkozhat naponta, egyből felismerhetők, meg is kell őket szépen jelölni, és egyre bénábbak a szövegük is, ahogy megfigyeltem, gondolom, attól függ, ahogy promtolják, vagy instruálják őket, ha a gazdájuk kifogy az ötletekből, a projekt hamar elfárad, a bot csak unalmas h#lyeségekre képes egy idő után

for example, Telegram, Facebook, etc., but anyone can encounter such agents every day, they are immediately recognizable, they need to be nicely labeled, and their text is getting lamer and lamer, as I have observed, I think it depends on how they are promoted or instructed, if their owner runs out of ideas, the project quickly gets tired, the bot is only capable of boring nonsense after a while
