My first manic episode, I thought I received a message from the gods. Sure was weird for me because I was (and still am) an atheist.The "message" was pretty...mathy? At the time I didn't really know how to write it out. I tried using mathematical notation, but I sucked at math, so that didn't work. Since then, I've learned how to code, so I can write it out with python.The function has two inputs, a piece of text, and a binary string. The message and the binary string have to be the same length, otherwise the program exits and prints out an error message. If they're the same length, then it capitalizes the letters in the message based on the numbers in the binary string. 1 -> uppercase letter and 0 -> lowercase letter. Then the new message is decoded based on what letters are capitalized.So after all these years of reflecting on it, picrel is the best way that I can boil the experience down. I was having visions of an algorithm before I knew anything about how to write algorithms.

>>41096277this is a screenshot of me working with the function defined in picrel
>>41096222 fix that shit, niggadef extract(message): return ''.join('1' if char.isupper() else '0' for char in message)steganography can be beautiful
>>41096277Im A FAggOT
>>41096286i've heard about steganography before but i've forgotten what it is. how is it related?
>>41096292embed("I'm a faggot", "11000110001")that's not true btw i'm not fat. i'm the skinniest i've been in like 20 years
>>41096295https://www.etymonline.com/word/steganography
>>41096285Where do you get the words and the binary from?
>>41096349those were just examples. the idea is that you can hide any message inside a larger message.
>>41096355Oh I see I thought it was for divination. Can you encode a phrase and show how one would decode it? I’m a python dev too so I’m pretty curious about this.
>>41096380sure no problem from python_file import extractextract("This is a test", "10100000001010)ThIs is a TeSttits
>>41096401How do you turn tits back into the message?
>>41096513i'm not sure if you can work backwards like that. the "vision" or whatever it was was all about getting from the initial, larger message to the final, shorter message embedded in the larger one
>>41096222you're pattern matching the binary of capitalized letters.literal schizo tier non-sense.also>javascriptnot even once
>>41096555That’s python, js functions start with “function” not “def”
>>41096586you're right, the open and closing of quotation marks to make a string threw me
>>41096555>thinks my code is shit>thinks python is javascriptthank you for letting me know i can't take you seriously
>>41096555when you call it schizo tier nonsense you're being pretty accurate because this whole thing was a delusion i had the first time i was manic
>>41096601>the open and closing of quotation marks to make a string threw me"strings are sounded by quotation marks so it must be javascript"dear god you're retardedyou're not the nobody, the nobody isn't a retard
>>41096792Lol the more you look at code the more it all looks the same especially
>>41096792i hacked one of their PCs and using it now as a proxy for my illicit internet posting
>>41096513
>>41096222I've had three so far, honestly can't wait for the next one.
>>41098132same. 3 in the last 16 years
