hey @provisionally - just to confirm, are you referring to this embed?

[provisionally]

Yes.

I noticed this too, and I came here to report it 😁

I also, very occasionally, get a cookie pop-up coming up.

Just looking at the RSS feed there is an iframe. I'm wondering if this is supposed to get filtered out in Capy?

Hey @yamatt - yep! it's tough because some iframes are valid, but I should be able to add a filter rule just for Slashdot via the custom parser.

[yamatt]

Fair enough. I've used a few open source RSS readers over the years and it seems every feed has it's own quirks.

Thanks for looking in to it.

I took a closer look, and given that Slashdot embeds the iframe in the feed, there's not a good way to filter it using the current parser.

That said, I was able to fix it so it appears properly. I'll include that fix in the next release:
