Look at it! What is that? It looks kind of like a cross section of a human, kind of, except the eyes are pools of blackened fire and the brain is sending electrical pulses out to... are those Jupiters? Why? Why??? This is absolute nightmare shit lol

anyone know good alternative to pocket?

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 48 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Having a purse allows even more storage

Would not recommend. That's how you end up with lopsided shoulders and a bad back.

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

If only that was the only way to end up this way... (for the back at least).

[–] KelsonV@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A backpack solves both problems!

Can't confirm, now I have two lopsided shoulders.

A frontpack and a backpack!

[–] giant_smeeg@feddit.uk 18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

No, but a good option that still works:

Disable pocket from the FF home page.
Get your personalised RSS link from your pocket profile
Add it to RSS reader of choice
Click pocket button on article
Read in RSS reader
Never see sponsored crap

This is actually amazing!

I use RSS so this will integrate fantastically

Thank you!

[–] Zana@startrek.website 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As someone who has never used an RSS reader, any suggestions?

[–] giant_smeeg@feddit.uk 3 points 2 years ago

Realistically probably feedly. I don't use it but it's a reasonably good service.

I love Umibo, turns your new tab screen into a persistent full tab bookmark manager with a pretty background

I haven't tried it yet but I've heard good things about omnivore

I also just found shiori

[–] shua_too@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

I tried omnivore for a bit because it’s pretty clean and seems to integrate well with other apps like Obsidian, Logseq, etc. but I found it to be a little too sparse. I’m currently using raindrop.ion and that’s hitting the sweet spot for me. I think a big part of it is that omnivore is geared strongly toward heavy readers, so as a designer I save a lot of things for viewing more than reading, and more of an archive for projects and thoughts than something to catch up with. And I’ve got my reading list, movie list, software list, and all sorts of others in there that it’s closer to a personal Pinterest than a read it later app.

It is a really nice app though so if someone’s in the market for a reading-first definitely check it out! I’m personally really digging my personal knowledge archive with raindrop.ion and think it’s worth checking out too!

Assuming you mean the save-to-read-later functionality, I hear good things about Wallabag. You can even self-host it if you want.
