Pocket is shutting down - https://getpocket.com/farewell

Well this sucks. I bought into the Firefox ecosystem when I switched to Linux. I figured, these folks are the ones driving a major independent browser so I should use whatever they have.

Maybe it’s “enshittification”, but I know I’m nobody’s prime customer. If I like it, it’s probably doomed or bound to change dramatically.

My first and best example of this was being at Google I/O 2011. I had my T-Mobile G1 and everyone there had either a Nexus One or the new Nexus S. It felt like everybody was aligned about what Android was and what it should be. But in the real world, everyone bought Samsung Galaxy phones and the Nexus line eventually died.

Even though I’m not the target market for hardly anything, it’s still sad when something I use and like goes away.
