Why the fuck did they buy it in they weren’t going to stick with it?

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:
Another service that I’ve relied on for years going away. Ffs.
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.
@TechDesk@flipboard.social @moznews@mastodon.social We don’t have time for Pocket, a service loved by many for years, because we’re too busy building AI “features” that only tech bros want. Yup. That makes sense. 🙄
@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.
@TechDesk@flipboard.social @moznews@mastodon.social good, I never used it anyway
