I legitimately do not get pocket. It's just rebranded bookmarks
But haven't you ever wanted the opportunity to pay for bookmarks? Now you can!
Well when you put it that way I'm suddenly convinced! I'm gonna go buy me a pocket to put my Firefox in right now!
Pocket is essentially free.
You can pay but it's only for small non essential features https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-is-the-difference-between-pocket-free-and-premium-accounts
It was cool in 2010 when I was like 14 and had an iPod touch but didn't have wireless Internet access at home because my parents didn't understand the concept of a router and thought they would have to pay for it, plus christian concern over porn and corruption on the net. So I could go to like McDonalds or whatever, download all of these game review articles, web novels, and whatever else I was into at the time so that when I got back home I could still interact with the web.
Nowadays, yeah I don't really get the point. Everyone's permanently plugged in so a regular bookmark is fine. Also in case anyone was concerned, my buddy eventually gave me his old router and I secretly set up WiFi in my house so I was good for the rest of the time I lived at home 👍
Strict parents create sneaky teens. My mom’s way of grounding me from the computer was taking away my keyboard. She figured that without a keyboard, I couldn’t use it. I had a spare keyboard buried under my bed. I also quickly figured out how to use Windows’ accessibility options in case I was ever truly without a keyboard or mouse.
Funnily enough with this explanation I finally get what Pocket is, because I thought modern Pocket was something different and not the same thing from back then.
Have never used it, but doesn't it download the whole article? So if source becomes unavailable, you still get an archived copy similar to other services like archive.org.
