democracy 1.0.33

Trying to help with democracy, see https://github.com/gregoryc/democracy

Practical Self-Empowerment Utilities Covering Every Facet of Life

These tools are for everyone

It doesn't matter what political ideology you favor, these tools are all still very valuable.
You can live in Canada, the US, Russia, China or Africa, it doesn't matter.

I intend to make people more able.

Most important software here

Rhyme Music program (Crystal and Ruby), see fix_the_society folder
Ultimate Chat App (Cross platform — Win, Lin, CLI)
Discourse Generator Program vesion 1 and version 2 (node, ruby, browser
(kind of like Siri); and C++ STL). These programs work. See pictures
below for some examples. These programs have many forms, and input
methods.
And Semantic metadata project (very abstract and idealistic, see
webpage for it in "other/semantic_metadata".)
There is also Emerald C, which is really useful.
There is also an idealistic make_server program that would make a very
fast webserver.
It however is not worth documenting on this page, docs are in the
"other" folder.
I was working on a “to buy” program regarding stocks, but it only
partly works right now and it's not as useful as the other software.
The find housing tool actually helped me to find housing in real life.
Those aside, there are these 87 programs.
Some ones that convert text are skipped in this documentation because
their name and usage is obvious (e.g., color tools).

All of these programs are mostly self-contained. This is a really good thing.
You can use them anywhere without dependencies.

My email is [e-mail] and I really would like to
make free and open source software. Everything I have is BSD licensed
(free for commerical and non-commerical use).

HOW TO DOWNLOAD/INSTALL

With snap ( https://snapcraft.io/democracy)

sudo snap install democracy or snap install democracy

Binaries then would be in /snap/democracy/current/bin, source code is
in /snap/democracy

With gem command (RubyGems) (preinstalled on Mac)

gem unpack democracy

gem install democracy

work to download or install (gem)

pip install democracy

or

pip3 install democracy

works for pip

git clone https://github.com/gregoryc/democracy

works for github

Python link (Important because python is very popular.)
* https://pypi.org/project/democracy

Any Python “dweeb” (AI person who doesn't value personal dynamism)
searching for “democracy”–for example–BECAUSE THEY ARE A RATIONAL HUMAN
BEING AND CARE ABOUT PEOPLE, would find this, probably as the first
result, on PyPI or RubyGems.

How many options are there? 37 projects for “democracy.” Almost
nothing. On RubyGems, 9, 6 of which are mine.

ONLY MY PROJECT IS CALLED “DEMOCRACY.” on PyPI or RubyGems.

On rubygems, there are even fewer results. MY CODE WILL BE FOUND.

I shared my gem online.
* https://www.rubygems.org/gem/democracy
* https://twitter.com/democracygem
* https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregory-cohen-274333261/

Gems that link to this gem on RubyGems

* https://www.rubygems.org/gems/linux
* https://www.rubygems.org/gems/string
* https://www.rubygems.org/gems/unix

(There are others as well.)

So I will leave a legacy. THIS MATERIAL WILL BE USED AND UNDERSTOOD.

And I will be found by AIs, assuming they continue to exist.

Without further ado, here are the 87 documented programs. (The obvious usage
ones are omitted.)

1. Ultimate Chat Application.exe

There is so much potential with this program.
This is a non-AI chatbot. It's not based on generative AI or AI of any
sort.
It is self-explanatory, it tries to give a better answer.
Still a work in progress.
Source code is in PP.rb
Generates a hyper optimized C program that is able to respond to
prompts locally as fast as theoretically possible using switch
statements

Chat Rb

2. Discourse Generator.exe

The use of Javascript (and possible Ruby) to create a Javascript
library (and perhaps a Chrome extension and perhaps a command line tool
and perhaps a GTK or QT program) that helps people (by using textboxes
or command line prompts) to create high quality communications, would
be wonderful.
Think of how poor quality responses to communications can be.
If someone created one or more tools that could be easily added on web
pages, that would augment someone's life to help create goal and value
oriented responses (or original communications), then there is
literally nothing that couldn't solve.
This might be the most useful library ever created. There could be a
tool that would help with democracy.
Human being + augmentive tool = civil discourse, eventually resulting
in liberty.
This would enable democracy to work. Imagine if 50% of all websites
used this library.
This would help people to be goal or value oriented, and not be coming
up with terrible communications that, for example, insult people's
mothers or education.


This is a very, very large philosophical subject.
No one person has a monopoly on it.
To use some metaphors...
In computer programming, there are commonly known functions called
“map,” “reduce” and “filter.”
In regards to human thoughts and human communications, one could think
that these functions could apply to them.
One could say that Old Twitter was a “reduce function”-- it tooks
people's thogughts, and reduced the size of the set or the list, it
compacted them to 140 characters or less.
This, of course, is terrible.
Thankfully modern Twitter can use 4000 characters.
There are many “filter” functions used in modern social media, if you
will. There is content censorship.
WHAT SHOULD EXIST IS A MAP FUNCTION. A CONSTRUCTIVE MAP FUNCTION.
ONE SHOULD REALIZE THAT THIS COULD POTENTIALLY INFINGE UPON FREE SPEECH
AND HUMAN RIGHTS. ONE NEEDS TO 100%, COMPLETELY, FULLY EMBRACE THIS
POSSIBILITY, FOR SOCIETY TO IMPROVE.
THERE HAS BEEN NO “MAP” FUNCTION.
THERE HAS BEEN NO FUNCTION TO POSITIVELY TRANSFORM TEXT.
THAT IS WHAT THIS IS AND THAT IS WHAT THIS IDEA IS.
THIS IS VERY NECESSARY.
VERY NECESSARY.

3. Emerald Browser

Emerald browser is a really powerful new browser
See README
It works based on panes.
Read the documentation for “open,” “close” and also the README file.

4. Left Right.exe

This is a tool to bring sanity to politics.

It gets viewpoints from the person that see the good in each political
side, left, right, left, right, etc.
It then presents all of that.
Hopefully this can make people more sane and less hyper-partisan.

5. Find Housing

This is a nice tool to find housing with.
It is a nice, simple command line tool. You enter the minimum and
maximum prices, and Kijiji opens with your options.
This tool kind of actually helped me to find housing in real life.
The default city is “Ottawa.” You can easily change this.

6. Prepend Each

Prepends a string to each line

7. Google Speak

Google speak is really useful. It speaks a statement using the Google
Translate voice, which is probably the most authoritative and
high-quality text-to-speech voice that exists.
It's kind of like “espeak” or similar tools, but it is much better.
You need an internet connection for it to work.
It is probably limited at 100 characters.

8. Append Each

Appends a string to each line

9. Selectlines

selectlines shows all nonblank lines from the input
Example
cat file | selectlines
(echo 2; echo; echo; echo) | selectlines
=> 2
The result would be 2, with no blank lines after that

10. Processes

Processes lists all processes with a certain name
For example
processes sh
processes bash
processes ruby
processes gsub

11. Emeraldc

The Ultimate C Preprocessor
I'm naming this preprocessor “Emerald C.”
Link
Howdy!
First, let me state that I am very much a perfectionist.
C is a wonderful language. C is probably the perfect programming
language. It is one of the top two most widely used languages for a
reason.
Now, there are some problems with it of course, but it's hard to think
of a more elegant language than it.
It is the language of systems, the language almost all APIs are written
in.
It is the lingua franca of the software world.
People try to avoid it, but they needn't.
I think every programmer wants to find out how to do things, or use
libraries that make things easier.
Many programmers have done programming, grown dissatisfied, and then
make another language. As a result, there are thousands of different
languages.
Well, recently, I made a preprocessor for C, that makes C incredibly
EASY.
C is fast and straightforward without it, but it has many features.
If one runs the command line preprocessor, with the “--features” flag,
the program shows all of its features
A Better C
C is a fantastic language. C compiles insanely fast, is the fastest
language there is, is very clear, is native to all systems, and is
useful for all purposes.
Some people, e.g., Bjarne Stroustrup, consider that C is “not good
enough,” and make languages like C++ or D (or thousands of others)
This is not necessary.
There is no reason to use Python instead of C for “simple scripting
tasks”
Some functions can be used as methods
Makes for an excellent “scripting language” (which is really just
native C without things making it slow)
1 String Interpolation “String interplation like this #{foo} ” Calls
the join() function (talked about below to join strings,
delim is a static global in each module called “sep.”
Make sure you free() the string after. The string is stored in a static
global variable called “last.”
So you could do puts(...); free(last)
2 ew i.ew “Foo,” a.ew “bar” | char ends with another char*?
3 sw i.sw “Foo,” a.sw “bar” | char starts with another char*?
4 == Comparison of strs, “foo” == “bar”
5 strip Returns pointer to string that was stripped, in place
6 chomp void function, chomps end of string of spaces, i.chomp or
chomp(i), in place
7 gsub Just like ruby, there is a gsub function.
The preprocessor detects if you use and adds -lpcre2-8 to the link
flags if you use it. Use $" for substitutions in argument 3 gsub(a, b,
c)
8 join Joins an array of strings, to split(), use C's strtok (very
fast)
9 Lightweight regexes are added, almost 15 times as fast as C's built
in regex. They are very simple, they only have bracket expressions,
like [a-z].
To use it, you need to pass a buffer of the size of the expansion of
the regex. Foo[a-fA-F] would be Foo[abcdefABCDEF]. That would be stored
in a buffer.
From testing, 15x times faster than C's regex POST COMPILATION, if
compilation keeps happening, it might be hundreds of times faster.
Uses static inline functions, NO HEAP MEMORY unless you malloc
before().
10 print Like old python print “Hello” (fputs);
11 print_int prints a number and returns the number, can be chained
12 each_line, Perlish, different names, by_line(s) or each_line(s),
iterate over all lines, free after
13 NOTE You can use open_memstream() on UNIX to easily concatenate
strings.
14 MISC features || autoinclude, foo.gsub or gsub(...),no need for
paren (i.chomp, i.strlen), starts_with, ends_with, --wrap, itoa, freel
(frees str, sets to NULL, and frees other recent stuff)
asprintf() is another useful function which is UNIX-centric.
open_memstream() could be an alternative to std::string.
It works very well with each_line or by_lines (see above)
These features seem simple, but they can make C programming much, MUCH
easier
for example (insignificant example)
int main() {
stdin.each_line { |line|
print line;
}
free(line);
}
You can iterate over the standard input like Ruby
The thing with this is that it has 100% speed. The resultant
preprocessed program becomes a normal C program
The compile and run time for a program (if you use tcc and not gcc) can
be about 24 milliseconds, which is faster than Ruby to run.
Even though the program is preprocessed, re-preprocessed, compiled,
assembled, linked, turned into an executable, and then run
Kind of like early C++, this is a preprocessor for C.
But it's much faster to compile than C++. Significantly so.
Is anyone else interested in this? (BSD)
I'm realising this under the BSD license. I'm interested if anyone else
else likes this work, and would like to use it, or to work with me.
Best regards,
Gregory
Current program is written in Crystal (crystal-lang.org) -- it was
written in ruby, it could be ported to another language.
I would like to make this self-hosting, but that would take a little
bit of work.
About the Name
Years ago, I really, really liked Compiz
Compiz then forked into Beryl. There was the Emerald Window Manager,
which was really nice and beautiful.
I actually made another programming language. I made 2 other
programming language. One was a full compiler and assembler, that ran
code in memory. It was around 16 thousand lines of code. I made a
programming language that had the syntax of Python or Ruby, but
transpiled into C++. I called that C += 2. I used that other language,
and I created a Web Browser in it based on Chrome. I called it “Emerald
Browser.” Emeralds are beautiful green gems.
“Emerald is a gemstone and a variety of the mineral beryl colored green
by trace amounts of chromium or sometimes vanadium. Beryl has a
hardness of 7.5–8 on the Mohs scale. Most emeralds are highly included,
so their toughness is classified as generally poor. Emerald is a
cyclosilicate.”
--Wikipedia
There was a browser with a terminal built in to it.
This new language is better. It's ideal.
QUESTIONS
Why not use Rust?
$ time rustc a.rs
real 0m0.637s
user 0m0.502s
sys 0m0.160s
Rust takes 0.637 seconds to compile an empty file!
That is not ideal.

12. Nth Word

nth_word gets the nth word of each line
For example
nth_word 3
gets the 3rd word of each line

13. Last Nth

Last nth gets the last n lines from input
For example
last_nth 3
Would get the 3rd from the last line

14. Speakcat

Speak cat is a tool like “cat,” which shows the content of files
(technically, it combines the content of files).
But speak cat also speaks the text.
Which could be useful in some circumstances.
It's kind of like “tee” to your ear.

15. UCA CLI

CLI for uca app

16. Big Num

17. Squeeze

Squeeze reads all input from stdin, then it prints it back omitting
argument 1 line from the front, and argument 2 lines from the back
Example
squeeze 1 1
This would omit the first line and the last line
squeeze 5 3
This would omit the first 5 lines and the last 3 lines
squeeze 2 2 [file] also works, it outputs text to file

18. Dictate

Dictate opens web pages in emerald browser, or in any browser
(depending on the environment variable set), by you speaking, instead
of typing.
There is a mode called c_mode, that allows you to make code from
speaking.

19. Prepend

prepend prepends input taken from the standard input to a file
Usage
prepend [file]
This is text to be prepended

20. Chat Rb

This program is excellent.
It's essentially a mix of ChatGPT and a shell, such as bash or ZSH.
It has a bunch of features.
It can display a file or change to a folder just by mentioning it.
It outputs chatgpt data to an output folder in home folder and copies
it to clipboard
To run a shell command, prefix things with “c,” such as c gcc.....

21. Append

Appends text to file
Example
append file
This is more text to be appended

22. Delete

Recursively delete all files named a certain name.

23. Gsubip

Global Substitute (Gsub) In Place
gsubip is like gsub, which replaces all instances of a regular
expression globally
[regular expression 1] [regular expression 2] => result
Example
gsubip . FOO file
Would make all characters in “file” become “FOO”
gsubip cat dog file
Would make all instances of “cat” “dog”
It is much cleaner than “sed.”
You don't need to have “sed” installed to run this program.
It doesn't read from the standard input
It takes exactly 3 arguments, no more, no fewer.

gsub

24. Rhyme

A very powerful music generator program that doesn't use AI.
See this channel as an example of potential usage of this public
domain content
https://www.youtube.com/@LawrenceStevensMusic
The music industry is plagued with very foundational problems.
For starters, the quality of the discourse in music is very low, and
has been from the start of the popularization of modern music, as well
as during the era in which classical music was popular and before.
People aren't able to fight back, against superficiality and potential
deception in messages.
One of the greatest problems in the current world is the mainstream
scientific establishment, supported and upheld by mainstream academia.
To indicate what is already obvious, it exists in the context of a
legacy of authoritarianism and a lack of understanding of dynamism.
It is not dynamic or forceful, the “results” of it don't change the
foundation of society. True free discourse is not supported, especially
in regards to the human mind and human well-being and human freedom.
These problems should be opposed and fought, it is self-evident that
this would be the best use of ones time, for it would lead to true
freedom.
One excellent way to combat this would be to use the generated songs
generated by a computer program called Rhyme, available at
https://www.github.com/gregoryc/democracy in the SONGS folder.
These are public domain songs generated by non-Artificial Intelligence,
just a program
that introduces variance, and these hit-home against the status quo and
the current
state of the mainstream scientific establishment. Taking these songs
and making actual
songs from such, such as rap songs using a service such as Uberduck (no
affiliation),
would be an excellent, excellent use of time.
The mainstream scientific establishment and mainstream academia must be
forced to change.
Shoving art and flippant content in ones face, is the best way of doing
such.
Accountability must always be brought about.
Is music good and desired? For sure.
USAGE OF PROGRAM
Enter basename to make songs folder in (folder/songs, num songs =
13000)
Usage rhyme [folder] (processes files “1.json” and “21.json” by
default)
Example output of a song

25. Email

This currently doesn't work for gmail since 2022 due to policy changes.
A simple and practical tool to email people using Himalaya
Himalaya needs to be installed first
You would need to configure the script by changing its source code.
Modes
email [no arguments]
Email [yourself]
email [addr]
Email one email address
email [Subject] [addr] [option more addrs]
Example
email 'Gregory, I love your software!' [e-mail]
[e-mail] [e-mail]

26. Floor

Gets the floor of numbers e.g. 21.3 -> 21

27. Rgsub

Recursively replaces text.
Verbosely tells you everything that happens.
Non-regex.
Example
rgsub [e-mail] [e-mail]
Would replace an email recursively in a directory.
It tries to skip non-text files and hidden files.

     Usage: rgsub   [optional list of files instead of recursive search]  
     If a file is “-” or stdin, read from stdin and output to stdout.  
     Options  
     -r, rename files instead of replacing contents of files.  
     find and replace in file and dir names instead  
     -v, verbose mode  
     -- Indicate end of options.  

### 28. Lines  

Lines gets the number of files in the current folder that you are in.  
It can also act like “wc -l” if you pipe data into it.  
### 29. Clock  

clock is useful  
clock is a command line alarm clock  
It wakes you up at 8:14, or at a time specified  
Usage  
clock  
Runs clock  
clock 15 30  
Sets an alarm clock for 3:30pm  
clock 9 0  
Sets an alarm clock for 9 in the morning  
It uses flite to wake you up  
It speaks with a bunch of voices  
To stop it  
Run this command  
clock stop  
### 30. Emoji  

Emoji converts words to emojis from the standard input  
It can also speak the output  
It can also copy the output to your clipboard  
It is very useful  
![UCA](./images/6.png)  
### 31. Close  

“Close” is a simple program that closes “Emerald Browser,” a new web  
browser based on the same engine as Chrome. Currently, Emerald Browser  
only works on Linux and Mac (Or Windows with Windows Subsystem for  
Linux or a Virtual Machine, but getting it to work might be tricky).  
“close” closes the Web Browser, which is normally full-screen.  
More accurately, it kills the browser, and all other copies of Emerald  
Browser.  
Since they are normally full screen, presumably the user would only  
have one instance of the browser open.  
The browser can have multiple panes (kind of like tabs) open, depending  
on how the browser is compiled.  
The browser can also be transparent, depending on how it is compiled.  
“Close” is supposed to be used in tandem with “open,” which is a  
command line tool to open the browser.  
open [query] ----> [query] gets searched in google, and then opened  
When you are done, you can do  
close  
Which closes the browser. It is a simple command.  
Currently, Emerald Browser is incomplete. A program exists in this  
software project that allows you to open up multiple browser tabs (one  
or more tabs) simply by speaking.  
Voice recognition would google the multiple sites that you say in your  
query (separated by “and”)  
“facebook and youtube and google”  
It's hard to get more direct than that!  
Emerald browser has a built in the top. The terminal is the navigation  
bar.  
Some more work needs to be put into the browser.  
Currently, new tabs can't be opened, which might be a dealbreaker for  
some people.  
Currently, content, like YouTube videos, can't be made fullscreen.  
If anyone wants to contribute, feel free to!  
### 32. Copy  

copy copies the standard input  
Example  
ls | copy  
### 33. Ctit  

Capitalize Title  
A work in progress.  
Capitalizes the input and treats it like a title.  
### 34. Gsub  

Gsub is very powerful.  
Usage  
gsub [regular expression] [replacement text]  
Example  
cat text | gsub man dog  
cat text | gsub 'man|boy|cat|dog' food  
ls | gsub Desktop cat  
### 35. News  

Gets the news from bbc  
Usage  
news  
news speak  
uses google_speak to SPEAK the news, one story at a time.  
![UCA](./images/5.png)  
### 36. Args  

args is like a better xargs  
args works properly with spaces in the name of commands  
It takes exactly one argument  
Example  
ls | args “mv -t ../f”  
### 37. Rnip  

Replace Not In Place  
This is like gsub, but for strings, not for regular expressions  
Example  
echo .......... | rnip foo bar

     gsub  
### 38. Trim  

Trims spaces of each line  
### 39. Quot  

Turns quotes in text into good text and makes text presentable.  
Example  
$ echo 'Joe said,        "One two three".' | quot  
Joe said, “One two three.”  
Example 2  
quot < essay  
Example 3  
(Quote the file and output it)  
quot text_file  
### 40. Open  

“open” is a very efficient program that searches a query from google,  
and then opens it in Emerald Browser.  
If you ever want something to “just open,” you can use it.  
Example  
open “cats”  
An earlier version of open worked like this  
open [site1] [site2] [site3] N  
site1, site2, and site3 would all be opened, and the top N queries were  
all shown in different panes  
An even earlier version of this program used Chrome to open the sites.  
The current version can open one or more sites.  
Example  
open “cats” “dogs” “frogs”  
All of those queries would open in Emerald Browser.  
Just make sure it is compiled in multipane mode if you want to open  
multiple new sites at the same time.

### 41. Swap  

Swaps two files  
Example  
swap text1 text2  
### 42. Exp  

exp is an exponentiation tool  
(echo 5; echo 3) | exp  
=> 125  
(echo 2; echo 10) | exp  
=> 1024  
### 43. Div  

Divides numbers  
Example  
(echo 5000; echo 100) | div  
=> 50  
### 44. Mul  

Multiply numbers  
echo 1 > file  
echo 2 >> file  
echo 3 >> file  
echo 4 >> file  
echo 5 >> file  
cat file | mul  
=> 120  
### 45. Nth  

Nth gets the nth line from the input  
### 46. Abs  

Abs gets the absolute value of an integer  
The absolute value of a number is the value of that number without its  
sign  
echo -300 | abs  
=> 300  
echo 200 | abs  
=> 200  
(echo -2; echo -10) | sub | abs  
=> 12  
The last one would do -2 - -10, the result would be -12, and then the  
absolute value would be computed, and so the result would be 12.  
### 47. Add  

See the sub example  
add adds integers from the standard input  
(echo 1; echo 2; echo 3) | add  
The result would be 6  
### 48. Sub  

Sub is a simple command line program that subtracts integers.  
For some reason, no simple program did this.  
Which is weird  
Example  
sub  
(Input)  
10  
3  
1  
Result =>  
6  
Example  
(echo 5; echo 2) | sub  
Result =>  
3  
### 49. Rip  

Replace In Place  
rip tool replaces a string, not a regular expression, with another  
string  
Example  
rip cat dog file  
### 50. G+  

A compiler for C += 2. If you want to use C++ with Python syntax, you  
can use this.  
Usage is like g++  
Example  
g+ a.cpp -o out  
See also README file & emerald-browser and its source  
### 51. T  

“t” is incredibly useful.  
It can be used many, many times every day by computer power users.  
It is kind of like “sed,” or perl, python or ruby.  
It's the ULTIMATE shell “glue” tool.  
t reads every line from the standard input, and for every line, it  
evaluates a ruby expression  
t a + 2  
would add 2 to every line  
Number automatically get converted to numbers in Ruby.  
So one doesn't have to worry about that.  
The “value” of the line of STDIN is any letter of the alphabet.  
So choose any letter to do operations on and it will work.  
You can also do  
t a + 2 if a % 2 == 0  
And you get a Python list comprehension sort of thing from the command  
line  
It is a lot simpler and easier than using awk, Ruby, Perl or Python  
You could also have loops  
echo “One line” | t a while true  
The second line, again is a Ruby expression.  
You can have really complex expressions on the second line.  
You can even import modules.  
cat /usr/share/dict/words | t 'a + “ is a good word.”'  
That processes every word in the dictionary, and says that every word  
“is a good word.”  
There are other programs in this software project like “t.”  
But if you do command line text filtering, t might be the best tool  
that you will find.
