I'm pleased to note that even https://dolphin.town, my Mastodon server where the only letter you are allowed to post is "e", has seen increased activity in the last few days.
Thanks Eeeeelon!
@darius E
@darius
really hoping that and oulipo.social are mutually blocked.
@nicknicknicknick they have a... detente... uh a treaty... uh... "mollification policy"
@darius
"...our common No Fight Pact,"
@nicknicknicknick @darius dolphin town is on watch
@darius omg I'm gonna say it that way forever now
@leahdriel @darius
this is how quark says it.
@darius has anyone attempted to make ascii art using the E's to form other letters yet
or has that happened and they used it to form yet another letter E instead
@EeveeEuphoria the latter!
@darius nice
@darius
BTW, I maintain a list of Wordle-like games, called ‘Wordles of the World’:
@rwmpelstilzchen here's one to add that I quite like: https://oec.world/en/tradle/
Guess a country from its exports.
I found it instructive.
@darius
@koantig @rwmpelstilzchen omg, I feel like @ingrid would be into this

@darius People haven't started encoding messages in binary using e and E yet?
@loke oh they absolutely have. morse code too
@darius I'm all in favour 🙂
@darius arch enemies of @oulipo.social! Or perhaps where all of the unused 'e's end up?
@darius did you specifically choose E as the only valid letter to make sure that all the transfems flock to your instance, or is it a coincidence that it is E out of all letters? xD
@darius e
@grishka People do it!
@ed1conf wouldn't you just use tr instead of sed?
@meena in retrospect, tr would work better in this case. My initial work used just `morse` rather than `morse -s` so I needed sed to transform di/dit/dah and didn't back-modify it when I switched to using -s.
meena@76ix ~> echo 'Dolphins are cute' | morse -s | tr -- '-.' 'Ee' | fmt -999
Eee EEE eEee eEEe eeee ee Ee eee
eE eEe e
EeEe eeE E e
eeeEeE
meena@76ix ~>
what's that trailing 'eeeEeE' ?
echo -n doesn't get rid of it either, just moves it a line up
@meena Interesting. I don't get that with morse(6) on my FreeBSD box, but I do with Debian & OpenBSD. Looking at the source
https://salsa.debian.org/games-team/bsdgames/-/blob/master/morse/morse.c#L197
it appears to be "SK", the "silent key", indicating the end-of-transmission.
@darius eeee!
@darius that seems like an awesome instance
@calculsoberic it's eeeexcellent
This is delightful!
@darius eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 🤣
