Argr can mean bad (but like really bad I guess?) or unmanly, cowardly, or even effeminate.
It exists as argur in Icelandic, where it means bad, wicked, cowardly, weak.
The closest Swedish relative to anger I think must be ånger, meaning regret.

The Swedish word for angry, arg, comes from the Old Norse word argr, which was supposedly one of the most grave insults, which could have serious consequences if used without justification. Argh and eerie in English are doublets and both come from argr. Angry does not come from argr.

Cool, I have a client pulling posts from Mastodon.
TIL: Mastodon content is stored as HTML. That'll work well because I already know how to transform HTML into Markdown (FeoBlog's internal format.)
One downside, I forgot that Mastodon has private posts. I guess I *won't* sync those to protect people's privacy but it does make the tool less useful.
Does mastodon's markup support `code` blocks?
```
What about inline blocks?

Mastodon FeedIt's interesting how RAM speed (lack of thereof) has ruined advanced data structures. Big flat array usually wins over fancy trees with clever logic. Brute-force SIMD can be faster than avoiding redundant work.
I've never been able to use bloom filters either — cache misses are too costly.

#Blender’s new asset browser basically turns it into a video game, it’s pretty much The Sims at this point. Drag and drop and done – this will make things a lot easier for 2D artists who use it as a base for paintovers. Mind-blowing. 🤯

Does anyone here do monochrome #PixelArt commissions, approximately 32x32 in size? I have some ideas for my perler art but I'm no good at making this kind of thing. I've attached an example of the kind of thing I'm looking for.
Boosts welcome!

It's more likely than you think!I drew this yesterday in the late evening and am now noticing I forgot her tusks... 🙃

- Open sketchbook showing an ink and watercolor drawing with strong shadows and messy brushstrokes. It shows a female orc down to her belly. She is looking towards the viewer with a grin that promises nothing good. The back of her hands frame her face, arms positioned horizontally. Her hair flows behind her, along the shape of her horns. Cables are wrapped around her chest and flowing behind her. (remote)

Pretty nifty idea. Honestly we need this at the X/Wayland level too, as an ever increasing amount of FOSS programmers see telemetry as too valuable to not to use.
I rather, we just didn't? But a single universal method of opting out of it platform wide, might be a decent compromise point.
Maybe some sort of freedesktop.org standard for graphical apps?

Video description: a grey tabby cat wants to come into the bedroom through the window, and is pawing through the slight opening. Once the window is unlocked and opened, she just flops on the window sill.

Catlis is fascinated by the window that offers a passageway between the bedroom and balcony.
She must know that it's the same room that she can reach by more human-conventional means, but now she was putting her paw through, trying to open it from the balcony side.

Hmm, when I was developing FeoBlog, a couple people asked "Does it support ActivityPub?"
It doesn't, because of a different data model & feature set, but I just realized that Mastodon's API is probably a lot more permissive than the cursed birdsite, so it might be easy to write something to translate between the two services.
I've recently been enjoying writing #TypeScript in #Deno, so hmm, this could be a fun project. :)
