I hope that we can just transition form Mozilla Pocket to Digg Pocket without much hassle, but that probably won't happen. I understand all the hate for Pocket I've seen over the last two days because it's useless to most people, but man, there's a really good use case for Kobo owners.

I just saw a thread about Digg buying Pocket from Mozilla, so I don't think I'll need to mess with that now.

Good news for Kobo owners!

I found these instructions on how to install KoReader and use Wallabag. It looks like a real pain in the ass. I hope Rakuten does something, because I'm not doing that unless I absolutely have to.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

My Kobo has the Pocket app and I'll miss being able to send articles to it. Apparently I'll be one of the few to be sad to see Pocket go.

I think I'm going to get the $30 1-year ESU and kick that can down the road. I need to run windows-only software and I can't upgrade because of my processor. Maybe in a year's time I'll be ready for a new build.

Got it, thanks!

I appreciate the offer, but I feel I should tell you that I'm not a very active community member on Mastadon. It's mostly just doomscrolling and the occasional boost for me. I won't be offended if you want to use your invites to recruit more active members.

Thanks. I just found out my instance is shutting down in May, so I'll have to find a new one soon.

I'm one of them. My 6th generation processor means that Windows 10 will be the last version of windows that this machine runs.
