@feedly.com will Feedly on iOS ever support zooming in to images? That seems like such incredibly basic functionality that's been missing for years and is why I still use Feedly Classic.

A teen DOGE staffer recently given access to government systems worked at a startup known for hiring convicted hackers. Someone using a Telegram handle associated with him also solicited a cyberattack-for-hire service in 2022. All raising questions about his vetting. www.wired.com/story/edward...
