Mozilla has announced it’s ending its bookmarking service Pocket, effective July 8. Via @moznews@mastodon.social. #Mozilla #Firefox #Pocket #ReadItNow #Browser #Tech #Technology https://flip.it/f0ShJl
@TechDesk@flipboard.social @moznews@mastodon.social So many people hated on it continuously, I’m surprised it was kept around for so long.
Shame, but I’ll admit I mostly stopped bothering, too. I just no longer collect stuff to read it later like tht.
Why the fuck did they buy it in they weren’t going to stick with it?
Another service that I’ve relied on for years going away. Ffs.
@TechDesk@flipboard.social @moznews@mastodon.social good, I never used it anyway

Time to look into alternatives.
I’ve been self-hosting Wallabag (@wallabag@fosstodon.org), happily, for years…but they offer an inexpensive hosted service if you don’t want to go to the trouble:
Damn, that’s my way of syncing articles to my Kobo e-reader. I wonder if Kobo is going to offer an alternative.
I have a feeling that was pre Mozilla pocket offering a deal to kobo.
But hopefully I’m wrong and rakuten kobo will integrate with another service.
Yes, I think that partnership started pre-mozilla.
Pairing a read-this-article-later service with an e-ink device is the most logical combo, and the only reason I use something like Pocket.
I do hope Rakuten can find an alternative.
