  • Obviously I knew what you meant, although that’s 1961 so not the 1950s either.

  • Well, yeah. That’s what the spectrum is.

    Low end: “you can see the source but can’t do anything with it” (questionable whether this counts as open source at all)

    High end “do what you want, it’s literally yours” (public domain).

    One can debate where the low boundary of “open source” is, or what makes one license more or less free than another, but the spectrum is the range of limitations.

  • It is a spectrum (MIT vs GPL vs APL for example) but this is outside that spectrum.

  • 'Microslop' is heading for Edge – major browser redesign is inspired by Copilot, and it's already seriously unpopular

  • Don’t have to worry about that, win11 isn’t reliable enough for that.

    We had a similar situation for a voicemail system though.

    My understanding is that it was just a printing convention because þ was unavailable in movable type at the time, with y being the closest approximation. Y was never pronounced like th except when it was understood to be substituting for thorn.

    Wikipedia:

    With the arrival of movable type printing, the substitution of ⟨y⟩ for ⟨Þ⟩ became ubiquitous, leading to the common ye as in "Ye Olde Curiositie Shoppe". One major reason for this was that ⟨y⟩ existed in the blackletter types that William Caxton and his contemporaries imported from Belgium and the Netherlands, while ⟨Þ⟩ did not, resulting in yͤ as well as ye.

  • Over 100,000 pairs of running shoes now removed from landfill

  • That article is substantially better with a lot more detail. Also a more accurate headline. “Collected from running events” is a big difference from “dug out of a landfill”.

    Thanks for sharing the higher-quality link!

  • Over 100,000 pairs of running shoes now removed from landfill

    Jump

  • And what was done with them? I can’t imagine that they were in salable or even usable condition.

    Based on the article content it seems to be a variation on the usual shitty clickbait headline, this time getting clicks by being confusing and unlikely.

    Probable explanation: they were not removed but just never got to the landfill in the first place. But the “article” is so light on content that it’s impossible to say for sure.

    But this is from rssbot so junk articles are par for the course.

    You can even trace its evolution back thousands of years.

    What is the definition of a meme, again?
