My Entry for Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow: Round 334 - Shell Ginger Shadows - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Big Island, Hawai'i - Friday, August 9, 2024
Warm greetings fellow shadow hunters! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
For my entry in Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow: Round 334, I share with you just over a handful of some gorgeous shadow photos, that I took today in the late afternoon sun, showcasing the exquisite play of light and shadow on the white-variegated leaves of a shell ginger - Alpinia vitatta, growing next to the Landing (one of the community buildings). I take photos of this plant often, as it's striking in its own right, and even more so with sun and shadows dancing across its leaves.
The sharp contrast between the white and green areas of the leaves adds to the beauty of the equally contrasting sunlight and shadows, gives us a stunning scene to behold indeed. If ever a plant were photogenic, this shell ginger is certainly that! I hope that you appreciate them as much as I did when I took them! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
👇This is my entry!👇
All photos were taken with my Motorola G Play 2024 Android Phone.
Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I think that Hive frontends should allow every user to "mute" (hide) any post or comment of any other Hive user without necessary muting the entire Hive account (and publishing that hide transaction on the Hive blockchain). 🤔
That would be great when a Hive user generally loves the posts and comments of another Hive author, but doesn't like to see a small set of content from that person (such as #nsfw). 🤓😏

Some of the actions of a Hive user (regarding his or her own Hive account) which shouldn't be published on the Hive blockchain are logging in/out of a Hive dapp, and frontend-specific favorite lists or mute lists. 🤔🤯🤓

Well, generally, other than X, I don't use any regular social media, but I do have accounts on a horde of alternative social media platforms. MSM is referring the Mainstream Media, or what most people call news, even though all it really is is mind-control propaganda nonsense. Only 31% of the US population have any faith or belief in it at all any more, which is a very good thing. Most of it is indeed fake news. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Maybe MSM should be spelled as "MainStream Media** to avoid confusion. 🤯😅
I wonder if that statistic also came from MSM. 🤔😅
!DIY
Well, it would align with the acronym better, that's for sure.
Actually no, they tend to say that their ratings and viewership are doing great, but that's not the case at all. Single livestreams on X far exceed what any mainstream media outlet receives now, which is partly why there is a push to shut X down. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
!DIY
Do you mean that the statistic came from alternative (social) media? 🤔
The #VIMM (https://vimm.tv/) dapp (and its community here on Hive) allows video livestreaming. 🤔 The #3Speak (https://3speak.tv/) dapp (and its community here on Hive) aims to become a decentralized (censorship-resistant) and monetized video sharing platform. 🤓
!PIZZA

Well the information on viewership is published on alternative platforms, and on X by various people, but it comes from various polling and research organizations.
Indeed, and I'm aware of both of them, both in terms of their present capabilites, and their goals. I think that it's great what they're doing. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Since I spend nearly all of my time on Hive replying to comments of my favorite Hive authors, I seldom visit #Ecency #Decks to see your and other Ecency users' waves. 🤯😅

I'm honored to be considered a favorite author. I only visit Waves usually after I've finished everything up and I want to boost my engagement a bit more. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

!WEIRD
One of what I like about your engagement here on Hive is that you manage to craft a good reply to practically every comment that I (and others) publish under your comments. 🤗😎
Anyway, I have decided that as soon as I have already tipped every possible tipping token to you apart from !DIY on a given day, I would either take a break replying on Hive for the day or reply to the comments of other people on Hive (prioritizing those that left replies under my own comments). 😅
I really appreciate that, thank you. I always want to give anyone who leaves a comment or reply a response that is actually meaningful.
That sounds like a reasonable course of action. I hope that you enjoy whatever you do decide to do! I'm still 15 hours behind on my notifications, so I've still got a bit of work to do before I'm done! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
!DIY
!INDEED
I wonder what you mean with
still 15 you'reon your comment. 🤔🤯Whenever I find myself having less than an hour to spend replying to comments on Hive, I try to tip three tokens per comment (except when I tip !BEER which I tip alone, or LOLZ with DIY). 😏
I was 15 hours behind. Corrected.
That's a useful habit for short time frames. I've gotten a pretty good feel for the tipping tokens that I use, so I now know what to use when, and in what configurations. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
!BEER
The word "hours" is quite far from
you're, with only the letterso,u,andrsimilar. 🤔🤯If I decide to spend a lot of time on Hive on a given day and/or I need to engage more to Rank 10 (to qualify for a prize) or Rank 3 (to get a higher prize) on the #Ecency Weekly Leaderboard, then I tip only a maximum of two tokens per comment (even tipping only !DIY when I already replied about 40 times on your comments for the day). 😏
!INDEED
True, but the AI/autocorrect swaps those two often regardless.
Hahaha...sounds good. I don't keep track of how many comments and replies to which I reply. I barely keep track of how many tip calls that I have left. I guesstimate...lol! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
!DIY
!INDEED
Maybe you should tell your keyboard's "autocorrect" that it has one job. 🤣😂
I thought you use some sort of digital or physical notepad to keep track of your available token tips (in general and for any given Hive account) per day. 🤯😅
!DIY
!INDEED
I try, but you know AI, it wants to try its digital hands on everything!
Nope, nothing so elaborate. I've got too many tipping tokens of which to keep track, and I tip them so often, that stopping to write down how many calls that I have left would definitely slow me down. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
!DIY
!INDEED
While you know what AI generally wants, you find it really hard to live without that "autocorrect". 🤯
Maybe typing instead of writing down your remaining tipping tokens per day won't slow you down as much. 🤔😅
!DIY
!WINEX
I've used other people's keyboard apps without autocorrect or word suggestions, and it invariably goes way slower.
If I need to change my focus to note tip calls down hundreds of times per day, that would not speed up my daily process. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
!DIY
!WINE
Maybe you need to give other people's keyboard apps about the same period of time you used for your current "autocorrect", so that you get used to how they work so that you can type faster. 🤔🤓
Looks like the tokens which you can tip hundreds of times a day are the tokens that you co-created with borniet, and definitely not those "valuable" tokens such as !PIZZA and !WINEX. 😅
!DIY
Yes, if I actually tried another keyboard app, I would give each one a reasonable time to learn and get used to it before assessing what is actually better.
I tip most the tokens of which I don't need to keep track. I know my flow in my Hive day, and I have various types of tips allocated to different people, of the ones which I have to keep track. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
!BBH
!DIY
!PIZZA
Maybe your current keyboard app with its "autocorrect" behaves well only while you are trying to compare it with another keyboard app. 🤔🤯
I usually tip "wildcard" tokens (which are tokens which you can tip to any Hive account without any restriction apart from the maximum total daily tipping limit) the last, so that I can tip tokens which have one or more restrictions more easily. 🤓😏
!DIY
!PIZZA
That does seem like a modus operandi that it would employ to protect itself from removal. I'll catch it!
That sounds like a very useful plan and flow! What are all the wildcard tokens? I know LOLZ, but none others come to mind. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
!DIY
!PIZZA
What I mean with "wildcard" tokens are those that can be tipped to any Hive user without any restriction at all (such as BBH). 🤔 There are also "semi-wildcard" tokens (such as !LUV and !HUG) which can also be tipped with little restrictions (such as only not too many other bot commands on the same comment) so that I can tip them even as many as 10 times to the same Hive account per day. 🤯🤓

Presently no. It would be great if we had other means, or if the solar electrical system were solid enough that we wouldn't need anything else, but sadly neither is the case.

Yep, very much so. I can't even imagine slow weeks or months. I would fill my Hive time in some way to compensate, probably by adding more people to favorites, then respond to whatever they post.
I miss the Hive Engagement League. I was the very last one at the #1 spot. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

!HOPE your way to compensate for missing engagement count is not by talking to an AI chatbot (whether intentionally or not)! 🤗🤯😆
Looks being at the Top 1 spot when a project ended is something that will last for a (very) long time! 🧘♂️🤓😏

Hahaha...yeah, me too! Most AI chat bots are easy to detect...are you sure that you're not an AI chat bot?
Yes, indeed, and although I'm sad that the Engagement League ended, it was an honor to be the last one at the top indeed. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Those AI bots probably already pass the Turing Test. 🤔🤯 !HOPE you don't commit false positives regarding humans being mistaken as AI bots! 🤯🤗
Maybe someone else can continue that Hive Engagement League, or start a similar one altogether. 🤔😏

Perhaps so, and so they can be pretty sophisticated. I withhold judgment, for the moment.
That's a cool idea, though the Ecency Top Engagers basically took its place, so perhaps there's no present need. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Hope that those AI entities that pass the Turing Test are "good" bots! 🤯🤗
It may be the case that the Hive Engagement League allowed the use of any Hive blogging frontend for someone on Hive to increase their Hive account's engagement count, unlike the #Ecency Leaderboards which count only those comments and posts published on the Ecency frontend. 🤯🤓
