nbsp

I also changed OutputToString and OutputToStream to check for an empty document when requesting plain text, in which case they'll return an empty string or stream. This fixes the bug where we'd send back an nbsp in the string.

1999 September 8, Simon Fraser, “fixes for empty doc testing and output”, in netscape.public.mozilla.editor (Usenet):

You need the nbsp in order for the cell to show like a regular cell (otherwise you get that "raised" looking space -- if you know what I mean).

2001 June 4, Fox, “Netscape: DIV within a table?”, in comp.lang.javascript (Usenet):

Incidentally - I noticed myself that GL doesn't automatically put a nbsp in table cells.

rem

NPOV

Near-synonyms: point-of-viewlessness; eticness

The NPOV is self-consciously a view, not the absence of all views.

2007, Juha Suoranta, Tere Vadén, “From Social to Socialist Media: The Critical Potential of the Wikiworld”, in Peter McLaren, Joe L. Kincheloe, editors, Critical Pedagogy: Where Are We Now?, Peter Lang, section 147:

Similarly, it is also important to understand the fundamental operation of NPOV in full detail: contrary to the synthesis commonly required for the coverage of topics in conventional encyclopedias, NPOV does not require the establishment of a universally accepted consensus description of the topic at hand—a kind of graveyard peace between opposing factions, achieved through arrival at a compromise which satisfies no one and omits any controversial points not acceptable to one of the participants.

2008, Axel Bruns, Blogs, Wikipedia, Second Life, and Beyond: From Production to Produsage, Peter Lang, section 120:

Content creators and editors are encouraged to filter material through a sieve of strict standards known to insiders as NPOV, NOR, RS, and V.

2015, June Jamrich Parsons, New Perspectives on Computer Concepts 2016, Comprehensive, 18th edition, Cengage Learning, section 332:

(Wikimedia jargon) Initialism of neutral point of view - the guideline of all Wikipedia and Wiktionary articles.

2002 July 25, J. D. Biersdorfer, “Your World, Online: Setting Up a Weblog”, in New York Times:

The case of the Loufan landslide indicates how a mainstream journalist-blogger used his weblog to expose the cover-up of an accident in north-west China.

2011, Xin Xin, “Web 2.0, citizen journalism and social justice in China”, in Graham Meikle, Guy Redden, editors, News Online: Transformations and Continuities, Palgrave Macmillan, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 184:

(Internet, dated) A website in the form of an ongoing journal.

It's so addictive, I all too often find myself just scrolling down my dashboard on Tumblr, finding things that other people have reblogged that appeal to me, reblogging, then continuing to scroll.

2012, "Grace", quoted in Jennifer Obee, Social Networking: The Ultimate Teen Guide, page 110

I began following other fat-positive Tumblrs, and soon my dashboard was filled with positive representations of fatness: pictures, stories, quotes, and links to articles and blogs.

2014, Cat Pausé, “Express Yourself: Fat Activism in the Web 2.0 Age”, in Ragen Chastain, editor, The Politics of Size: Perspectives from the Fat Acceptance Movement, page 3:

Though I rarely use it anymore, absently scrolling through my dashboard acquainted me with many new people from all around the world, and it helped me understand myself in new ways.

meta

Adjective sense 1 is a back-formation of meta- (prefix).
Adjective sense 2 is derived from noun sense 1.
The noun senses are clippings of various terms beginning with meta (prefix).
Folk etymology for noun sense 1 also suggests an acronym for most effective/efficient tactic available.

Each video sharing platform's community has a meta on how long videos should be.

I remember interviewing PewDiePie a few years ago, and he was sort of telling me about this time where it was like edgy videos were being really rewarded, so everyone was kind of chasing like edgy humor and edgy memes, and sort of trying to figure out where the edge was. And then YouTube changed the meta, and suddenly, it wasn’t good to be edgy, you weren't weren’t going to make as much money or get as many views.

2023 October 27, 29:51 from the start, in Hard Fork (podcast), spoken by Kevin Roose, The New York Times:

(by extension, countable, Internet slang) An informal but widely adopted practice in a given field; a de facto standard.

Many metas on Tumblr incorporate GIFs of scenes they are referencing as well as screencaps.

2014, Jay Schnorrer, "Adding to Narration and The Johnlock Conspiracy – The Meaning of Digital Media for BBC's Sherlock", paper submitted to Freie Universität Berlin (link)

Fans create their own stories and media representation through fan fiction. They challenge the feminism in the [Sarah J. Maas] books through discussions and metas.

2018, Sarah Leiser, "Throne of Fans: Examining the Roles of Feminism, Platform and Community in an Online Fandom", thesis submitted to the University of Denver, page 84

It wasn’t until I dug into post-season-3 Sherlock meta in January of 2014 that I started to encounter "the Discourse."

2020, Elizabeth Minkel, quoted in "Under the Radar: A Conversation about Tumblr in the Public Sphere", in A Tumblr Book: Platform and Cultures (eds. Allison McCracken, Alexander Cho, Louisa Stein, and Indira Neill Hoch), page 64

(fandom slang) Clipping of metanalysis: metanalysis or metacommentary focused on media, fandom, or related topics, typically presented as an essay or dialogue.

McDonald & Dodds is back, with episode one so deliberately hammy and meta that, technically, it should have been a complete horlicks. In one scene, when they were all hanging on to the balloon ropes, Mr Bean-like, to stop Jason Watkins flying away, it sort of was.
