![]() I have no idea why cookies are needed or desired with RSS feeds. Noticeable is not having a way to disable cookies. While importing feeds from QuiteRSS through an OPML file is easy, Liferea does not support privacy options. I want a centralized RSS feed system accessible from any computer by any user account. Creating sym links for each user account is straightforward but clunky. I never really liked my approach of sym links. Considering that many people today use multiple devices and are mobile, I am puzzled why RSS app developers do not support the simple option of defining storage locations rather than default to $HOME. I use multiple computers and multiple user accounts. This happened in all of the distros I use.įor some reason QuiteRSS is slow fetching feeds, almost stalling with certain feeds. Reverting to 0.17.7 resolved that problem. I had to restart QuiteRSS three times to make the headlines viewable. When I updated from version 0.17.7 to 0.18.2 the updated version introduced a frustrating bug of not showing the headlines. When closing and using the public network share, my laptop becomes almost unusable for those few moments, almost like a system freeze. While the popup is mildly annoying and unnecessary, often the full QuiteRSS window reappears, which is the really annoying part. When closing, QuiteRSS displays a “Saving data” popup notifier. I have QuiteRSS configured with each closing to delete the feeds I read. While QuiteRSS does most of what I want, the program has its quirks. Using sym links in $HOME allows me to fool the program with respect to file locations. When within my house normally I connect to a public share on my office system where I store the QuiteRSS files. To avoid the user-centric $HOME storage problem I used sym links from $HOME to a central location. For a long time since I had been using QuiteRSS. In my KDE 3 and TDE days I used Akregator. That means I manually check for new feeds. To avoid work distractions I limit my feed readings to general times of the day, usually at breakfast and then sometime later in the day. ![]() While interval fetching is nice, I do not need this feature. While I group feeds into folders, grouping is not critical because I prefer to browse all new feeds collectively and sorted with the oldest feed first.įeatures such as sharing feeds are useless to me. I do not want web pages downloaded unless I open the respective link in the web browser. I want to read at least the first paragraph. I prefer to use the keyboard to browse through the headlines. I like queuing all stories in the browser for a session reading. I prefer to open feed links in a web browser in the background. After reading, when I close a feed app I want all feeds deleted. I am not a news junkie and do not save feeds. One frustration with many, if not most RSS feed readers is they are user-centric and designed to store related files in the user’s $HOME. I do not and will not use online cloud services. Using multiple computers creates a desire to centralize work flows and data.
