I wanted some help with style when it comes to summarising the ossasepia logs, so asked my dad – an English teacher who’s done some editing work – to have a go:
Diana asked whether S wanted to make an account on his platform to add her feedback. Why not post it all to younghands.club and use his tags there? He could drop the text-in-paste approach: simpler to just write it, as she could read many paragraphs.. As the selection thing meant few changes in his ‘theme’, she was puzzled, for the original post was clearly explained, step by step.
S replied that using the github like ‘issues’ as a comment system would facilitate line selection, comments, project tracking, etc, at the cost of making an account, and it would not be on github. Following the steps on two themes in the original article didn’t work. He thought the git based approach would enhance discussions, but still simple and text based, just pushing files, which she’d see, with more functional searching.
D answered that the imagined gain was unreal if at another’s expense. Did he just like experimenting? With anytrhing not working he should check his setup limitations and alleged ‘improvements’ – No more over-optimizing nor website-juggling, or she’d banish it, and comment/read ONLY from younghands.club.
S conceded, admitting that she and the others knew better, and now finding that the files have to be Text for git to parse/enable; markdown and org files are parsed into html, so his ideas wouldn’t work as hoped. He promised to revert to the old, safe practice.
He explained his ‘e’ as analogous to its use in maths notation+reasoning: example N1’s value V1! = N2’s V1, but both use action a1 to reach V.
D argued that there is no such * condition *: V1 and V2 being different evaluations, by different agents, of the same action – with perhaps different results.
S agreed, but what did ‘herps derps’ mean?
She said ‘herp derp’, as verb or noun, was a…term of art. He should log search. The Urban dictionary meaning was doing something dopey.
Kakobrekla turned out rogue, but the groups s1 and s2 each proudly spouted self-deluded rubbish. Shades of meaning make human languages fuzzy, particularly with slang and neologisms.
Diana asked whether he and the trilema group could hack into any computer they chose.
I like the concision – not repeating “s/he said…” when it’s the same person speaking, as well as the more natural narrative style. My attempt is a lot more wordy/clunky. I’ll attempt to emulate the smoother flow in my next summary.
There’s an error on the final line: Shrysr asked Diana about hacking; not the other way round – seems summarisers are prone to error!
