I read documents in the outline format all the time. This is because I read legal documents, and those are in that format. I'll contact you with my email address.

You can do this it's always /feeds. I suppose if someone really wanted to change that, they probably could. I used to use the hosted bersion, and it was /feeds there too. Although I have to point out that unless you have access to the instance, you probably won't be able to get to that page without signing in anyway. Unless someone decided to make the entire thing public, for some reason. You can do this with tweets even, you just have to have the URL of the tweet.

So that's what I do I created a bookmark from the main page of my Miniflux instance, and then put /feeds on the end. I also have one for the new subscriptions page. Since it's a separate page, linked from the feeds list, I bookmarked it too.

I'm totally blind, so I use a screen reader. I find that a lot of extensions that use the browser view port just don't work for me. I don't have a directory set up yet. I do have this: https://hopesnotes.net

Thanks your's is epic too!! I can't use RSS browser extensions for accessibility purposes. Therefore, i use Miniflux, https://miniflux.app.

well I'll install it and see how long it lasts lol.

You can do this with URLs. For instance, I have just the feeds page of my RSS reader bookmarked.

Can this do alerts? Like as in along with whatever digest I have, I set up keywords.

I remember this whole thing. No one was ever reluctant! It happened pretty quickly.

Is this still the case today, in 2021? I know that Wikileaks was blockaded for several years, but I thought those were all dealt with.

webspinner | 4 years ago | on: Credit-card firms are becoming reluctant regulators of the web

Yeah I should know this. I tried to donate to WikiLeaks before. My bank flagged my account and alerted my mother.

webspinner | 4 years ago | on: Credit-card firms are becoming reluctant regulators of the web

They aren't so reluctant. I think they get off on the power of doing this, but that's just me.

webspinner | 4 years ago | on: Credit-card firms are becoming reluctant regulators of the web

OK so back in 2012, I donated to a site that was on everyone's bad list at the time. I had my bank flag my account after that. Not only that, but they texted my mother to inform her of the fraud alert/flag. Eventually, I called them and told them to quit it. It took a weekend to clear it all up. this has been going on since November/December 2010, actually.

Google will kill this in about a year, if that. They'll realize they actually don't want anything to do with RSS again.

hopesthoughts | 4 years ago | on: If I could bring one thing back to the internet it would be blogs (2020)

This is one of my big problems with WP, and I've been using it for like 16 years now. Most themes don't support timestamps. In fact, I'm not even sure I've ever used one.

hopesthoughts | 4 years ago | on: If I could bring one thing back to the internet it would be blogs (2020)

I do this myself, but I have one person who insists on leaving messages if she can't talk to me right that second.

hopesthoughts | 4 years ago | on: Facebook is other people

Or actually, we hate it for all the algorithm tweaks. It just keeps making it worse and worse until I'm just like OK, I give up.

hopesthoughts | 4 years ago | on: If I could bring one thing back to the internet it would be blogs (2020)

I wish web rings were more of a thing. I mean sure they exist, but they aren't universally used like they were 20 years ago.

hopesthoughts | 4 years ago | on: If I could bring one thing back to the internet it would be blogs (2020)

That's putting too much in Twitter. What if it disappears one day?

hopesthoughts | 4 years ago | on: If I could bring one thing back to the internet it would be blogs (2020)

Sure they can, well they can have a link that brings up the feed anyway. What the browser does with it is a different story, and that depends on whether RSS preview extensions are installed. Copying and pasting that URL wherever it needs to go isn't all that complicated.
