Time to look into alternatives.

I've been self-hosting Wallabag (@wallabag), happily, for years...but they offer an inexpensive hosted service if you don't want to go to the trouble:

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

[some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org]

Another service that I’ve relied on for years going away. Ffs.

[flubba86@lemmy.world]

Damn, that's my way of syncing articles to my Kobo e-reader. I wonder if Kobo is going to offer an alternative.

[derekge@infosec.exchange]

@TechDesk @moznews good, I never used it anyway

[jaygray91@piefed.social]

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.

@TechDesk @moznews 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.

[flubba86@lemmy.world]

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 @moznews 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.
