it's a jailbroken Paperwhite, so I could look into setting up a Syncthing KOReader plugin, but my current setup works perfectly fine for me.

well, for starters I can't install Goodlinks on Linux, Android, or a jailbroken Kindle.

...so that you can read it on a device other than the one you've initially opened the link on? I can save a link to Wallabag from my laptop's browser at home, have my e-reader sync it, and then read it offline while on a train.

- people who are privileged enough to never have experienced multiple days without an internet connection.

it's a shame to see it go, it's been the first read-it-later service that I was aware of and used. I've moved away to Omnivore (RIP) and then Wallabag (https://wallabag.it/ for 11€/year, but you can self-host it or find someone else to host it for you for a lower fee), but I've still been thinking fondly of it, despite Mozilla clearly trying to force people into social reading rather than just serve as a convenient offline storage of articles.

edit: this post isn't a request for advice, I'm very happy with my current Wallabag setup.

because it's an URL of a page displaying the image, not the direct URL of the image itself.

Knowing less about AI makes people more open to having it in their lives – new research (theconversation.com)
 

The rapid spread of artificial intelligence has people wondering: who’s most likely to embrace AI in their daily lives? Many assume it’s the tech-savvy – those who understand how AI works – who are most eager to adopt it.

Surprisingly, our new research (published in the Journal of Marketing) finds the opposite. People with less knowledge about AI are actually more open to using the technology. We call this difference in adoption propensity the “lower literacy-higher receptivity” link.

Don’t Use Session (Signal Fork) (soatok.blog)
 

Last year, I outlined the specific requirements that an app needs to have in order for me to consider it a Signal competitor.

Afterwards, I had several people ask me what I think of a Signal fork called Session. My answer then is the same thing I’ll say today:

Don’t use Session.
