Newsboat

I am not one of these terminal wizards. I do heck of a lot in the terminal, though. One thing I never thought I'd do in browse RSS feeds.

But, a few years back I was in a situation where my only working computer was a Raspberry Pi so I found myself using Newsboat and I realised the big deal.

bbbhltz , 11 months ago to Free and Open Source Software in What non-FOSS software are you using that you wish you could replace?

On my phone: a FOSS "find-my-phone" function

On my computer: a FOSS way to access Teams for work. Just give me a Weechat plugin please.

I think at some point they will likely pass a law related to encryption or ban some of the alternative app stores for phones.
