Something I made years ago, just a tiny joke.

succinct poetic rephrasing by replacing subtrees with semantically similar subtrees of shorter length. using project gutenberg poetry as a corpus, this works really well. going the opposite direction (i.e., finding longer subtrees) doesn't work as well, I think because spacy's parser just isn't satisfyingly accurate on poetry?

When I checked out #questionablecontent this morning, I was like OHMYGOD. If you are a reader, go for it _now_! You won't regret it.
Sorry for the spoiler in my earlier post.
second draft for tübix poster. It's even animated!
I aim to screen print it, probably with inverted colors.
Es war eine wundervolle #GPN18! Es ist dieses Jahr sehr Portrait-lastig geworden, danke für das Vertrauen, dass ich von euch Bilder machen durfte. Das ganze Album gibt's auf Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/cheatha/albums/72157668972275808
So my major lesson learned from the #gpg/#pgp thing today is not to trust warnings by EFF in the future – while parts of their warning were factually correct, they were baiting for attention in annoying and unhelpful ways.
This culture of publishing exploits and issues in a publicicty focused way is disturbing. I had hoped the EFF was beyond this needless hyping of vulns. Apparently not.

Is this for real?

There’s nothing wrong with GPG/PGP.
There is no “bug”. Don’t listen to EFF. Don’t disable GPG. Disable image loading instead (and probably HTML).
This is a bug in email readers. Not GPG.
Als Update und v2 zu letztem Jahr habe ich auf der #GPN18 einen Vortrag über das Fediverse, Mastodon, und chaos.social gehalten, quasi einmal den Fortschrittsbericht. Da das VOC großartig wie immer ist, könnt ihrs euch jetzt schon anhören: https://media.ccc.de/v/gpn18-175-dezentrale-soziale-netzwerke-theorie-und-praxis
Endlich auf der #gpn18 angekommen. Fühlt sich nicht weniger nach zuhause an als vor drei Jahren.
Der Mittwoch ist mal wieder gut gestartet.... vorhin schon ne Unterkunft online gebracht. War von der Stadt wieder perfekt vorbereitet. Diesmal zwei Nodes per Mesh ob Lan #FreifunkHilft #ffs
@erictapen this is the only thing I've done in this style, but I've been making voice micropods and electronic music (separately!) since about 2012
I have a link to my latest short album in my bio.
