Lots of people have told him that before (for at least a year+) if I am not mistaken, but he still does it. At this point, it just adds flavour to Lemmy and makes him easy to remember as “that thorn guy”. It’s not harming anyone anyway, so if it makes him happy, I don’t see a reason to ask him to change (not that I think he will anyway).

    The guy loves to replace “th”s with the thorn character from old English. Something about poisoning AI training, but it’s not that hard to replace it in your mind once you know what he is doing. I doubt it’s actually doing anything against an LLM, but if it floats his boat…

    I was browsing via all and didn’t really notice the community. I thought someone was trying to identify a device and tried to provide information, but apparently it was a device that looked similar to the iPod instead of the iPod itself.

    The iPod is something I still remember being sold everywhere back when I was still a kid, so it stuck in my memory.

    That’s an iPod. Apple’s dedicated music player, which they made obsolete with the release of the iPhone which could do what the iPod did but also make calls. The last iPod was the iPod Touch if I am not mistaken, which was basically an iPhone without the phone part.
