This is cool but why can't we change the whole theme😖

Kevin Rose and Alexis Ohanian own Digg now. Alexis Ohanian never worked at Digg and Kevin Rose was replaced as CEO by the board in 2010 for non-involvement. It's still going to be a non-federated for profit platform. But there's no reason to think they would ruin Pocket or even change it dramatically.

Any inconveniences you've noticed with Graphene? For example I've heard tap to pay functionality doesn't work.

There's no need for hostility, your characterization of what is happening does not reflect reality.

Well said, I was thinking maybe the entire reason OPs charisma is -1 is because they're out there trying to convince people to do something instead of just doing their own thing.

I agree, I really don't think the concerns about "not being able to tell what's real" will be a major issue (at least to those who care about knowing what's real). Social media has been full of human-made slop for years and if someone is getting their sense of reality from social media posts, then that is the problem and AI isn't going to dramatically change that.

Instapaper is nice and probably where I'll end up. Others have suggested Wallabag to me which has a less than 1€/month plan.

I never view it as a "to do list of must reads" but as just another feed but curated really good stuff.

Is there a better free read later app?

This is awesome thanks for sharing. I love that they include the option to download the ePub files.

I have a feeling if any of these video generators tried to make a "clip" longer than a couple of seconds they would rapidly become a lot less "real looking"

 

Been watching DS9 Season two and have been very impressed with the quality. I remembered it being "pretty good" but in my memory it was "the season with "The Circle" trilogy, "Melora", "Rivals" and "The Maquis", episodes and story lines that never really did it for me. I think that made me forget how many really good one-off episodes were also here, to name a few:

  • "Necessary Evil"
  • "Rules of Acquisition"
  • "The Alternate"
  • "Armageddon Game"
  • "Whispers"
  • "Paradise"
  • "Shadowplay"

All bangers!

Also I love how this season ever so slowly drip-drops dominion references culminating with the season finale "The Jem Hadar"

Someone should probably jump in and explain what federation means.

 

I have an aging Kindle and am looking for a new eReader to both read books and articles I've saved throughout the day. I use Wallabag to save articles. I like it over Pocket because it's better for paywalls because it fetches content directly from the browser.

I am leaning Kobo because of apps like Wallabako and KoReader (not exactly what that is yet but people seem to like it).

Anyone else have a similar setup or have any advice?

 

Note that r/coolguides is a very "normie" subreddit and may require extra handholding. There are a lot of people who don't seem to understand what "open source" means. Some looking for "The Lemmy app" etc. Be patient and helpful!
