 do it in a random color each time! Here's my implementation for viewing txt
 files colorfully:
some bash computer code which first picks a random color, and if the color is a bad combination (like, black front and black back, meaning you can't see the lines of the letters) then it redoes it and tries to pick a better one randomly. It'll keep trying until it gets a correct combination but honestly there's only like one or two bad ones that don't look so great

12. the text continues from the previous page and reads "if it's been ten or more years since they moved in, the site gets rebuilt. [wait, hang on, weren't we talking about html websites? when did houses come into the discussion?]  ... wait, what was I saying? Oh yeah the text is on a gray background, as interrupting as a scythe, with a yellow backdrop as if to represent sheer white-hot flame except not white the color of all colors but fire the color of all flames. the text reads "prince of the nehalim" in bright pinking blue, as in something completely foreign and unknown to you, and continues on to read in red "so many opportunities" as if life hadn't absconded, but instead of severed instead. "parabolas persist" in the flavor of blue, the color of space in a non-light polluted view.  "live life like you're merry, as do but a few."  do you want to make people feel better? or do you just want to make them confused? Neither, really, I'm trying to tell the truth. I'm seriously just struggling to find a way to express things that others clearly seem to be forgetting - I'm not an expert in other stuff! This is literally all I'm good at! Is it valuable? Maybe not to you, but I think it could be useful, or else I would covet it and leave it in disuse.  it's time is relevant, it's words fit into a context, so if you misunderstand it's past then it's probably because you don't have the records or the ability to process them of the time in which it was posted. What if things were de 10 ten. blue text on a blue background, as a calming and soothing influence, saying "it's okay, don't freak out, just think about learning lessons about stuff that *could* go wrong and think about how you'd counter it. just like any video game, there's a strategy to defeat any other strategy. the careful application of said strategy while using or applying your own capabilities is directly correlated to the conclusions of the task." meanwhile the listener is like "what the fuck" wait shit hang on lemme add a content warning:  right so the text reads "if you want your neighbors to know something, don't post it on the internet - put it on a post-it on the wall in a public place" like, your front door, or maybe the entrance to your building, or the parking garage near the mall, or maybe the grocery store, on a product behind the one in front. that kind of thing.  depending on who you want to see it, of course... people used to do this with library books but stopped because it's quite obviously a bad and rude thing to do, books are for record keeping of the status of humanity, through each and every one of it's forms. It's weird that they all have the same stuff, because they're designed for capitalism right? Why not share them based on availability, and keep as many different types of things as possible?  when nobody cares for them, how will we remember the countless books nobody reads? How will we understand that step in developing our culture if we don't have access to the con 9. the text begins to diverge at this point, on the left it reads "it's easy if you want some privacy, - all you have to do" and then is cut off by the introduction of red text on a green background, to evoke similar colors as the original thing it was interrupting but it's own thing nonetheless, and existing off to the side in tandem, so that conditions could not remain unaddressed. the text reads "they were betting on selling us space flight [with spaceflight sliding from one side to the other, like a rocket escaping the gravitic pull of the planet it surrounded] but we cared more for food and water" the second part, after spaceflight about food and water, is intruding onto the yellow's background, which was next, to represent a continuation of the previous thought about websites and HTML. it's frustrating for the next text, which is in purple, a confused and disoriented color. it continues from the original thought "is delete the website! Boom, no more html. but if they were listed (neocities sites on a map of the region" but map is emphasized with a different color, green the color of the land, and "region" is pronounced like "realm" or perhaps "ground" or even "directions" or "land beyond the horizon (if it even exists)") 11. I think. orange text on a green blue background, same background as the previous three pictures. orange text which contrasts in a way that almost calls back to the 80s, but not quite. a little too dirty, like the blue and orange decorations around highways in New Mexico. car smoke and tire dust'll do that, and it's not like it's easy to clean - right next to the freeway, c'mon! Wouldn't it be nice if we shut it down for a day or two? Unless you had very important business, solely self-suggested. if too many people used it on those days (when they were cleaning it) then they're supposed to follow through and identify if their need was too great or if they were just being an asshole about it because their bosses forced them to. basically like, family emergencies gets a lane, things that are crucial to a social event like no beer at a frat party or whatever, heck even if the girl you like really wanted to get laid. whatever the heck it is, if you deem it an emergency then that's fine. you can drive while the highway is being cleaned. just make sure you don't slip on the suds...  ... a while later, humanity realized they could just close one direction at a time and clean the next one next time.  what was I saying? Oh yeah the text! Here's what it reads: "every year, replace five percent [but read as %] of the homes and boom you're good - maybe even do 10% if things are going well - either way, as time goes on people can live in a house as long as they want - but when they mov

 well, depending on what you're trying to accomplish, maybe processing 1/16th
 of the audio file on 16 different threads would be faster. I guess it depends
 on if you need context from earlier in the processing stage - if you do, then
 you'd probably want to do 1/16th of the processing on each thread instead.
 
 ... hmmmm that doesn't look right, how about this:[changes all the magic
 number 16s to num_threads]

14. if you think about it, the shape of the universe is kinda like a cornucopia. or like, a funnel that smoothly increases in size. or like a waterslide ride where you spin around a bit before dropping down the center. sometimes affectionately referred to as "the toilet ride", even though that's just the wrong connotation.  we could have perfectly sanitary theme parks, we just... don't... because our priorities are on selling stereos and stocks.  anyway, there's several purple lines, the color of blending blue and red, both colors present in america, cast upon the gray background of the undecideds, collectively engaged in a mutual exchange. there is a blue upside down silly snake, this time with bright red aviators, and beside it is a scarring wound. some break in reality that is unfortunate, but part of their interdisciplinaries, so don't worry one bit about it. life may seem far from strange, but your lifetimes of finite portrayals and fanciful adaptations to the expressions of your own emanations both confirm and delight our attentions on you. Surely you are not aware, of our love and perspective [fair], but we still love you from afar. how could a star not cherish another star? It's time that's our only moat.  the reason the universe appears empty of life is because it's impossible to travel under the blanket of spacetime. through gravity, up and under our shared reality, out and beyond to another.  rockets pierce reality, which they didn't expect L O L who would have tht 16 I think? don't really remember the last one. anyway bright green background with a quite interesting transition fabric display - something textured and rippled, like the connections between a torn piece of paper that's been stitched together bit by bit with a careful and measured hand. the text reads "neocities sites just need to be attached to an address, and given a useful search browser that uses openstreetmaps." this is displayed on a background of brown orange and yellow, while the text is written in salmon. the result is the text (which overflows onto both backgrounds) is equidistant from both background colors, just in different directions. We know instinctively that purple and blue are similar, but a blind person might not. these words are given a framing as if they were placed in a 3d game engine upon a poster or billboard.  in dark blue upon the bright green background, blue the color of calm rationality and green the color of aliens from old timey media who live on the moon. well, the ones who just want to chill and have a beer with you, maybe listen to your stories about life in the strange world called humanity, but not the kind that they tell us about. like, it's really hard to get here, so why would they want to mess it up when they got here? such a strange thought. anyway the text reads: "openstreetmaps is a website that lets you view the addressess of people who live nearby you. why you'd want them, who can say. the point is that the functionality already 13. here's where it starts to get spicy, and I apologize if it's too extreme, but words come forth *from* me, not by my perceived designs pronounced deh zeens.  top left - yellow, the color of sunflowers and familiarly painted houses, cast upon a strange pink background - pink the color of sisters and bubblegum. yellow lines draw a shape, of which it's perspective is hard to configure - but most would consider it to be the shape of a mobile, hanging above a crib, with a kite shaped object (or perhaps multiple individual artifacts) suspended above a target. could be an object, or possibly a human subject, but the end result is that the maximized rays of the individualized emanations of that particular pieces of object, cast forth onto a pre-programmed piece of toast.  ... I don't know why I said toast, what I mean was that you can enchant people and things by exposing them to the wavelength waves of radiating objects. things like, marcelline's t-shirt or excalibur or the shroud of turin or the constitution or some other precious object. if you place them in orbit around an object, their expressions will send forth to fulfill their manifestations upon the willfully absorbing object.  have you ever wondered why objects tend to congregate? like, computers flock to server mills, trash piles to landfills, and people will wander the length of the beach. all things are gravitic, function, type, characteristic, motivations, empathic feelings, all congregate around one another. 0 codes 15. picture of an upside-down triforce placed in a rack like a computer storage unit. cyan text with pink background reads "this is the only thing that challenges me"

 something I made a couple [time] ago
A visual of two hard disk drive designs, current design and proposed design.  the current design features a rotating platter where memory is magnetically stored and a "read/write head" (which the author mistakenly labels as a "laser")   the proposed design features many heads all arranged in a spiral outward such that many parts of the disk can be accessed at once. This hard drive design seems to be designed for parallel access to data.

 the truth is, the way to relate to my profile is to treat it like a magic
 spellbook.
 
 you can download my words on my website, and then flip through them
 page-by-page.
 
 please use it in a terminal emulator. you can get them online in your web
 browser for free. the program only outputs text, so it's best to just use the
 text-outputing software that's already out there - the SHELL command line
 interface. My personal favorite starts with BA because I'm a traditionalist.
 
 then, read from them like a book. you can do it in your mind, just, actually
 say the words and imagine how your body would pose. your imagination can do
 the speaking, you just have to picturing it both open and closed. "blah blah
 blah blah" whatever the poem's about, with a mouth moving open and closed
 between two different binary oscillation states.

 on reddit you subscribe to subreddits
 
 on fedi you desubscribe from reply guys
 
 opt-in vs opt-out, that decision was made by Twitter, and then Mastodon kept
 it because it's what people knew.
 
 frankly tho, opting-out is kind of the dream of the internet? you can talk to
 ANYONE, how cool is that, right?

a picture of a mouse cursor which has a user's profile picture next to it with their name and address so you can more easily remember who you're trying to be. a bunch of random text that I thought was artistic layered on-top of the previous picture which was a mouse-cursor with a user's profile picture next to it so you could see who you're supposed to be.

 Magic Survival might not work then, as it's a "single stick shooter" where
 movement is controlled with a virtual joystick and other actions are performed
 automatically.
 
 There is more than one control scheme in the options, so it might be worth
 fiddling with, but octopus arms are hard to overcome in a non-turn-based game.
 Good luck finding games that work ❤️

 display scaling accomplishes a similar goal through a different mechanism. You
 might find that the visuals are sharper, however you will need to configure
 every program to use this functionality (if it's present, which it's not in
 most programs) - for OS level things this is usually a good option.
 
 Changing the resolution will change the size of ALL visuals on your computer,
 but they might be fuzzier (but if you're blind as a bat, why would you care
 about fuzziness? It's all fuzzy!)
 
 increasing the font size can also make it easier to read, which both of these
 options are doing in a sorta round-about way.

 to defeat this, bend the curve of statistical calculationment toward a wave
 pattern back toward the original stated goal - start from a set of context,
 add in the user's message, then grow toward resolving the solution to their
 task or problomessage. once there, curve in a loop toward returning results to

 the fourth dimension isn't time, it's timelines arrayed in a 2d grid changing
 over time like an excel document that constantly updates with different input
 data. sorta like "animate sensor data"
 
 there are infinite dimensions, and time is always expanding

 You know, that makes sense! Finance plus signing things. Their operations are
 probably more... paper based and contractual than programmatic.
 
 When I think of devops I think of my time spent as a contractor for a large
 tech company...

 All I want for my mobile computing is the ability to use the interface of
 android to access resources and perform tasks that are relevant to my primary
 computer. Like, a mainframe with the phone as a terminal. Except instead of
 text, it's buttons and sliders and all the things that mobile UI experts have
 spent so much time carefully crafting.

 be careful, recursion can cause stack overflows.
 
 better to run function pointers from a loop. That way you can operate as long
 as necessary. Just make sure you don't get in an infinite loop...

 Well of course it's in slow motion, otherwise we'd have the urgency to do
 something about it.

 They can spy on them by being different "selves" of their own at once.
