Yes, the number of humps is the most visible difference. The dromedary
has one hump, while the standard camel (the Bactrian camel) has two.

French: Chaussure (shoe) vs. Botte (boot).
German: Schuh (shoe) vs. Stiefel (boot).
Un Baiser (Noun) vs. Baiser (Verb)
Jouir vs. Profiter: Online translation tools often mistranslate
"to enjoy" as jouir. While historically it meant to enjoy, modern French
uses jouir almost exclusively to mean to cum / reach orgasm. If you want
to say you enjoyed a meal or a movie, you must use profiter or aimer.
Faire l'amour vs. Niquer: French separates the emotional act
from the purely physical. Faire l'amour is the standard, polite term for making love.
Niquer or baiser are the harsh, slang equivalents for fucking.
Une fellation vs. Une pipe: French switches terms heavily based
on register. The clinical, medical term for oral sex on a man is une fellation, while the ubiquitous, everyday street slang is une pipe.

It's a security thing, the feed is truly plain text.
Promoting anything to outbound links opens the site up as a target for
SEO farming, Phishing, etc. On a modern browser you can highlight the
link text and "Open link" from right click.

In Newsgrouper I do make such links clickable. But to guard against
misuse I require the user to login, at least as a guest, before they
can get past the login page. That keeps out indexers, AI scrapers etc.
