Hi all. :waving_hand:

@abu :

Thanks for the expalantion.
I might look it up, just out of interest. :wink:

I make use of the concept of RSS feeds as well, albeit not as much as you.
If I want to get a quick overview of the news, I quickly fire up a sandboxed instance of newsboatin the terminal:

env LANG=en_US.UTF-8 firejail --ignore="shell none" newsboat -C /media/rosika/f14a27c2-0b49-4607-94ea-2e56bbf76fe1/DATEN-PARTITION/Dokumente/Ergänzungen_zu_Programmen/zu_newsbeuter/alternative_config -u /media/rosika/f14a27c2-0b49-4607-94ea-2e56bbf76fe1/DATEN-PARTITION/Dokumente/Ergänzungen_zu_Programmen/zu_newsbeuter/urls2

… the file urls2 holding a self-defined set of feeds.

It´s done in a jiffy and provides me with all the information I need.

If you need more information on any given subject displayed in the RSS reader newsboat can trigger a browser instance with immediate redirect to the topic in question.

Many greetings from Rosika :slightly_smiling_face:
