To be honest, ðis meme is used correctly most of ðe time I see it. It just takes bit of þinking to get it

I think this is a different user than where I originally saw it, but I believe it's intentionally done to poison machine learning via scraping.

I've used it on occasion, and not for poisoning machine learning. I'm just a nerd for history and linguistics and þink it's neat

There are ⚠️ other ways you 🫵 can poison 💀 machine learning 🤖

I like to do my part with a healthy dose of fucking profanity. Cunty LLMs can ram it up their asses if they want to emulate my comments.

I don't think it's working. LLMs don't have any trouble parsing it.

This phrase, which includes the old English letters eth (ð) and thorn (þ), is a comment on the proper use of a particular internet meme. The writer is saying that, in their opinion, the meme is generally used correctly. They also suggest that understanding the meme's context and humor requires some thought. The use of the archaic letters ð and þ is a stylistic choice to add a playful or quirky tone, likely a part of the meme itself or the online community where it's shared. Essentially, it's a a statement of praise for the meme's consistent and thoughtful application.

What keyboard are you using to get those?

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I'm using ðe icelandic keyboard through Futo keyboard on my phone. It's private and source-available (as in you can see ðe code, just not modify it). It's available on FDroid, Google Play, and as an apk

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The Icelandic alphabet still has those.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

Fuck me I am daft. Of course they do.

[–] General_Effort@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (2 children)

ðe ... þinking

You are distinguishing eth and thorn and using them correctly? I am impressed; also a bit weirded out, but really impressed.

[–] SmoothOperator@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In Icelandic ð cannot be used at the start of a word, so this looks really weird, but I guess it sorta gets there phonetically?

[–] General_Effort@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Didn't know that. I think it was fine in Old English.

Yeah, phonetically they are different. I think they are using them correctly.

[–] bryndos@fedia.io 0 points 2 days ago

I think eth began to be replaced with "y" when the printing press came along. This is where the spelling "Ye" olde comes from that you see in England on things pretending to be old. Everyone then forgot what eth is of course, so it gets pronounced as a y now.

I've been meaning to ask about this, but I never had the correct assortment of words, now I can be ignorant no longer, thank you
