This is very niche nerd stuff, but I love this lorem ipsum history / research / correction video.
Even some of the lorem ipsum generators have corrected their backstory on the subject! -

This is truly groundbreaking information! The history of Lorem Ipsum .. right up there with “Helvetica” (the movie).

Wer mit Texten und Text-Layout am Computer arbeitet, kennt den Blindtext "Lorem ipsum". Man liest allenthalben, der Text ginge zurück auf Drucker und Setzer im fünfzehnten Jahrhundert. Das ist sehr wahrscheinlich falsch, der Ursprung lässt sich zurück verfolgen auf die Firma Letraset in der zweiten Hälfte der 1960er. Das Video dazu hat Krimi-Qualität, enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kL1PDqzqhM4 #loremipsum #typografie

je pensais tout savoir sur la ligne “lorem ipsum, dolor sit amet”, mais beaucoup de choses fausses ont été dites à son sujet. on sait d’où elle vient, mais pas exactement comment elle nous est parvenue dans ce contexte… jusqu’à maintenant !

"The Unsolved Mystery of Lorem Ipsum" by Emily Zhang / Rabbit Hole was our lunchtime viewing today.
Wow, an amazing deep-dive into the origins of the ubiquitous place holder text, well researched and beautifully presented. Well worth the watch if you have any interest in textual design, web design, etc.
If you think you know the story, no you don't until you've watched this. It breaks some myths.

This is really an interesting story of the history behind #loremipsum as a standard filler text in #typography.
And it reveals many wrong assumptions and fixes historic errors. No, it's not just #latin and it's not from the 1500s. 😉

I haven't yet ported my Lorem Ipsum generator from AutoHotkey to Linux. Now I'm googling lorem ipsum and shocked, absolutely shocked, how bad these lorem ipsum examples are!
I've clicked at least five open each one of them fail. I just want to copy paste multiple paragraphs, not headers, not same pargraph repeated, not history of them.

A modest proposal:
Let's just replace "#AI" with #LoremIpsum generators.
Just have "Lorem ipsum…" inserted at the beginning of your texts; between all bullet points; and at the end.
By convention, we'll pretend that every "Lorem ipsum…" was a heartfelt token of your attention, intelligence, and diligence.
And I can simply have it stripped off of your email, to obtain your unaltered list of 5 bullet points.
Deal?

#loremipsum of the day. Apparently this text has attracted clients for quite a while! Not sure Ning is still going strong.

Horrified to hear about folks using #LLMs to create "convincing placeholder content" on client sites, considering the difficulty people always seem to have identifying and replacing #LoremIpsum text even when it is literal gibberish in Latin.
What happens when placeholder gibberish is nearly indistinguishable from the site content, despite not being reviewed for any factual accuracy at all?

Ah, #Germany, where the internet is ostensibly a dystopian wasteland of #censorship and repression, yet somehow the article relies on Lorem Ipsum to make its point. 🙄 Apparently, investigative journalism now involves copy-pasting placeholder text and hoping no one notices. 🚫📜
