They are laboring under the delusion that modified spelling stymies the use of their writing as LLM training data.

It doesn't. But it does garner attention (which is, I suspect, the real reason for their behavior).

Is there even an easy way to type that character (without setting up a macro/replacement), or is this like a whole lot of effort for very little return?

[–] derek@infosec.pub 1 points 2 weeks ago

Your guess is as good as mine. I can imagine low-effort workflows. They would still require set up / config. The functional return, as I understand it, is nil.
