@diodelass I like it when the participants have their clients set to different languages, and you end up with chains of SV: RE: RE: SV: etc

A friend of mine from the Spotify days made this nice chiptune player (various consoles, mod, MIDI) https://mmontag.github.io/chip-player-js/

The small lion became wild and was running across the bed at high speed just as I had removed the blanket from my legs to cool down

What a cute video game system https://play.date/

I was wondering, Icelandic is a very gendered language, and there are even some gendered greetings, that you will come across in any introductory material.

Masculine: [komdu] sæll [og blessaður]
Feminine: [komdu] sæl [og blessuð]

But since those words are just adjectives, I guess there's also

Neuter: [komdu] sælt [og blessað]

But I've never seen that mentioned? Seems useful to me.

@schnittchen I don't know :o

How nice, RÚV lets me watch all their Icelandic stuff, even though I'm not in the country.

I like the idea that the more idiomatic domain name is taken by a giraffe enthusiast, and there's nothing that a hell-corporation can do about it.

The giraffe website looked like a GeoCities one, with big, bevelled marble buttons. There was a button for each giraffe, arranged by size, forming a staircase of giraffe buttons.

In one of my dreams, Microsoft's website was at microsofts.com, and it had an explanation at the top that said "since you say Microsoft's website, microsofts.com is more correct."

On microsoft.com there were only giraffes.

Me and my boyfriend are legally lesbians, which is incredibly fake.

@ginsterbusch @xiroux Among some older people perhaps, but not generally, no.

@anarchiv Yes :)

Learned a fun word yesterday: sjónauki
From sjón (vision) and auki (from að auka, to increase)
Vision-increaser, or binoculars/telecope

@xiroux An initial "hv" becomes "kv," and with the G i mean that "göra" in Swedish is pronounced as if spelled "jöra," but that doesn't happen with "gera" (but does happen elsewhere like "daginn" → "dajinn")

@xiroux Yes, that's a correct translation :)
Sounds like kvath viltu gera (the G does not become a J like in göra)
