                          I edited [/etc/crypto-policies/config](https://man.linuxreviews.org/man7/crypto-policies.7.html)  to change the system-wide crypto policy from DEFAULT to FUTURE, ran update-crypto-policies, and afterwards the RSS/ATOM feed aggregator akregator wasn't loading pages.  However, if I change the policy to NEXT I have no problems.  Does the FUTURE policy force the use of [TLS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security)  1.3, which I know some of the sites in question don't support via wget --secure-protocol=TLSv1_3 [URL]?
