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

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

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.

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.

This is why I read RSS over NNTP: https://feedbase.org/
(Shameless plug: I made Feedbase.)

My system updates¹ the entry and marks the changes in the first case. What is right and what is wrong depends on what you want, I think.
The latter is annoying, I agree.
¹ It is an NNTP interface so the article is superseded; https://feedbase.org/about/ - if you don't want to see updates, you can configure your newsreader to skip supersedes.

Yes, the `guid` field in RSS and the `id` field in Atom.

rachelbythebay has a service and a series of blog posts about the technical side of this, starting at https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2024/05/27/feed/
TL;DR: readers should not poll more often than once and hour, use ETag and If-Modified-Since to determine whether to download the full feed again.
Which items you have seen previously is something the feed reader keeps track of.

I got the same with Firefox 114 - so I used `M-x eww` in Emacs and read the page that way.
