At least Danish and Norwegian share the order; the order is ÆØÅ in Danish as well :-)


But they are on different keys on keyboards, annoyingly, leading to one "ÖÆØ" key and one "ÄØÆ" key on Scandinavian keyboards (not to mention the horrible "½§§§½|" key!).


Yeah, "nordic" keyboards are a pain. I always get a Danish, or extra keycaps :-)


The Swedish Academy <https://www.svenskaakademien.se/en> has a word list (SAOL <https://svenska.se/om/om-ordbockerna/#saol>) of around 127,600 current Swedish words, and a Swedish dictionary including historic words from 1521 until today (SAOB <https://www.saob.se/>) of around 500,000 words.

The dictionary was started in 1898 and completed in 2023(!)


Oh, there was some spam and a lot of political stuff due to the hierarchical nature of Fidonet. Tiny Denmark had 3 networks.

No AI slop, luckily. And a lot of fun.

I used to run 2:230/149 on Fidonet. Can't remember my AmiNet address.


I used to run 2:230/119, and I used .5 as my point address.


In case you feel like visiting usenet as it looked 40+ years ago, I run https://olduse.net/ - which Joey Hess originally did as an art project - where you can connect a news reader (Thunderbird, Gnus, slrn, nn, tin, Pan, or even Lynx or ELinks, for instance) and read usenet delayed 40-46 years.


The D in DHTML is usually short for "Dynamic".

Around the time that abbreviation became fashionable using a lot of DIV elements also did, but that wasn't what the "D" stood for.

I think that was known by meindnoch and was a joke.


I'd say DHTML was more of a thing in the early 2000s when we were still using tables for layout. The divs came later, when the abbreviation had fallen out of fashion because all HTML kinda was dynamic by default.


This is why I read RSS over NNTP: https://feedbase.org/

(Shameless plug: I made Feedbase.)

What is a "Markdown Paper"?


I wanted to create a catchy, attention-grabbing phrase:) This app is meant to feel like a single sheet of paper on our desk where we can write in Markdown.


That's kinda mean. Surely Windows ME was peak Microsoft.
