Free Newsgroup Reader?


Recommended Posts

Anyone know of a newsreader on the Mac that supports SSL connections, besides Thunderbird? Since I've gone off-campus, they only allow secure connections from external IPs.

Not that I know of, but you might read over the pages for the different newsreaders that people have posted links to here. I've never had the need for SSL, so I've never bothered to check. You might be able to find some SSL tunneling software somewhere too. Look around SourceForge and see if you can find any SSL tunneling software for Linux. If it's a simple command line program, chances are it will compile fairly easily on OS X.

If you're willing to use non-native software, you can try Pan for Gnome. It's ported for the Mac, and you can get it via darwinports or fink (provided you installed X11 for Mac). I like it mostly because it is able to do post filtering/ searching and seems to perform really well in my experience (better than MT Newsreader or Halime).

Pine does, if you don't mind using a command line client

    • Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 SE mouse is currently on sale in multiple colors by Ivan Jenic The Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 SE is currently $99.99 on Amazon, down from its original price of $139.99. The mouse is available in multiple colorways, so you can pick one that suits your taste and perhaps your setup the best (purchase link below). The Superlight 2 SE sits just below the flagship Superlight 2 in Logitech's lineup, and it shares most of the same DNA. The HERO 2 sensor is said to track at up to 44,000 DPI with 888+ IPS and zero smoothing, acceleration, or filtering. So, it’s as good for competitive players as it is for regular users. There are also Logitech’s own LIGHTFORCE hybrid optical-mechanical switches, which give you clicks with mechanical tactile feedback. The mouse weighs just 60 grams, which firmly puts it in the ultra-light category, and it’s not even in a honeycomb shell. The battery should stretch to up to 88 hours on a single USB-C charge, which is solid for a mouse in this category. It also supports polling speed adjustment, which you can push from 1kHz to 8kHz. However, this requires the PRO LIGHTSPEED receiver, which sells separately, so keep that in mind. At $99.99, the Superlight 2 SE is a strong buy for anyone who wants a proven esports mouse without paying full flagship prices. All colorways are currently on sale for the same price, including White, Red, Black, and Magenta.

    • You can uninstall it using third-party apps like CCleaner, no problems whatsoever.
    • Garbage app, disable it in startup apps via task manager, or use poweshell to remove it.
    • And all of that despite widespread piracy (the game was leaked via piracy sites two days before launch), which proves that piracy doesn't hurt the gaming industry as much as tech giants like us to believe. Most people who pirate a game were never going to buy it either way, so that's not lost revenue at all, just more people playing your game and spreading the word.
