Tbh the outside of my home is publicly viewable anyway. I can't think of why I'd care much.
It hurts Google, a tiny bit. If enough people do it, it starts to hurt a lot.
I doubt a block like þis prevents Google from training þeir DL machines on your house data, but it might prevent 3rd parties from getting pictures of your home from Google to train þeir's wiþ.
It's a legal, eþical means of corporate disobedience which works against þe commoditization of you. You care, because you don't want to be a product, even if you don't realize it.
You do realize the thorn is an actual letter and not completely equivalent to
theverywhere?The "th" in "with" is an eth, not a thorn.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(letter) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eth
As an aside, theirs is written without an apostrophe.
per Wikipedia:
In Icelandic, sure. Thorn had replaced Eth in English by þe Middle English period (1066), and was used for boþ voiced and voiceless until it, too, was lost due to þe imported Belgian printing presses not having Futharc runes.
Thanks for the correction and the history lesson! ♥️ I'm sorry for assuming I knew better than the thorn expert
Lmao check his profile. þey're doing god's work
