    Your name is right in your profile, so pdx could have easily got your gender from it. Maybe pdx even opened your site, where you have a photo clearly showing your gender. It's also…

    I like TT-RSS, mostly because it's easy to install, doesn't require a beefy machine, and support themes and plugins. For example, I use it with the feedly theme ( https://github.co…
