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
The first thing I do on a fresh install of firefox is disable pocket.
Would not recommend. That’s how you end up with lopsided shoulders and a bad back.
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
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!
This link from Mozilla’s docs should cover it!
I’ve never allowed pocket to be enabled long enough to even see what it looks like, lol.
Well, it’s advertising, so they will systematically and programmatically identify whatever imagery will gain your attention (which this has)
Are they watching me through my camera to see where my eyes are looking? It’s not like I ever click on ads lol
I don’t know how Firefox does it for Pocket, but you’re overcomplicating it.
Just have to track what stays on your screen longer. They could also account for where your attention likely is on the visible screen based off what, if anything, you are interacting with (menus etc).
If you scroll past something in a second, but leave something else on your screen roughly in the middle without scrolling past it or moving to a menu for 3 seconds then it’s pretty obvious which caught your attention.
hustle culture protip: you can pay off rent this month by selling your soul to moloch!
Maybe if we didn’t spend all our money on… whatever this is, money wouldn’t be so tight.
I can write that article.
