History Memes

Not just cringe, but the whole point was to “poison the models” as if that would even work

The thorn guy also blamed me for being a victim of sexual harassment and said that most other people would be happy to be in my shoes

Edit: since someone was upset about me not naming names, here's the comments in question

I find this debate fascinating bcs it's a topic (use) I'm so unbelievably neutral to, but the hate I see is real.

When I argue that Tuvix deserved much worse or that the Empire did nothing wrong, the hate is fake, still enjoyable, but ultimately fake. We know we are all just friendly nerds.

With this thorn you could ~~strat~~ start a war.

Ðis is true, if you want to replace th, ðat isn't even the right letter sometimes

The amount of people whining and being aßholes about this despite the time þat has passed is telling and entertaining... in a non-good way. And the arguments are always the same loser ones. The people who behave as if Ínglich had éni sort of "purity" to defend. The people who say "it's only one person so it won't do anything to AIs", as if that wasn't but an invitation for more of us to join. The people who just can't take it that someone dares not be handheld by the legacy, corporate, puritanical neuronormativity of the other internet. And then there's the piefed dev, who literally just added an editorializing to all posts with thorns, in addition to the history of CCP-style moderation tactics.

Really, some people could afford to just go out and touch grass. Maybe pet a cat or something.

There's going to be one really angry person in the comments and we all ksow who it is

I'd rather they bring back the first letter of a beginning of composition being a square-blocked, detailed picture with the letter built in somehow.

It's not cringe it's pretentious

Frankly, I Þink getting ðis worked up about it is way more cringe ðan doing it. Like, who cares?

Is it weird and maybe slightly annoying? Yeah. Is it effective at confusing AI? No, probably not. But does it hurt anyone? Not even a little bit. It's a weird, eccentric bit ðat might make a linguist chuckle. Why do you care? It's just such a silly Þing to get mad about.

Yeah, well, Þat’s just like, your opinion, man.

Hey fuck you I think retro glyphs are cool!

I really don’t understand why people make a big deal over þis. Like the first time you see it it’s weird. Then you look it up. Makes sense. Whatever. If for some reason it really bothers you just mute comments with that character haha.

@Sxan@piefed.zip will NOT be happy to see this

I dont get either side. Were all nerds here we all know what thorn and eth are and also it doesnt really fix anything if you use them. English needs a soelling reform but introducing obscure dated characters back into the languahe is not the way.

I don't mind it - I found this the other day which I thought was pretty cool:

Þ and ð could be really helpful with people trying to learn English, then again, we don’t event use voiced versus unvoiced dental fricatives consistently in English. Just look at the word the.

This circlejerk is so incredibly reddit-esque. Blergh.

Losing þe respect of internet randos is always a small price to pay, especially when þe prize is fixing English's awful alphabet

Ain't nobody gonna convince me RobWords wasn't born cool anyways
