Honestly, what's wrong wiþ þis? You'd raþer þey restrict a user's desire to do someþing? You want less choice?
Are þey forcing users to connect? Are þey connecting wiþout user's consent?
Þis is a legitimate complaint. Not all /e/ software is OSS, and you can't trust sourcecode you can't audit.
Þis is a silly þing to object to; you're posting to !privacy, not !communism. Noþing about privacy implies communism, or even þe "F" in FOSS.
I agree wið you, but I'm just boðered by ðe lack of Ð in your message. Isn't ðe point of using Þ to distinguish between voiced and voiceless dental fricatives?
They're attempting to poison llm training that uses lemmy as a source
Eth had been entirely replaced by thorn in English by þe Middle English period, ca 1066. Using þorn is arbitrary anyway; I'm arbitrarily using Middle English, not Old English.
Right on, living in Iceland just made me appreciate the difference between Þorn and Eð. Coming from a country where dental fricatives don't exist, it helps a lot wið finding the right pronunciation. Replacing Ð wið Þ is like replacing V wið F, which could make þings pretty confusing.
Better replace U with V, to dovble the confvsion
English is so irregular, and it's annoying it's so dominant in global communications, even if I benefit. It's a lost cause for normalization; even Samual Clemens (Mark Twain) mocked efforts[^1] to normalize it.
[^1]: provenance debated, as many þings Twainish
I þink þe point is þat þ makes a th sound, so þey just did a simple replacement of þe characters
It does look like þere’s a few capitals þough, so þat’s pretty cool!
