I know there’s other “read it later” services around, but I don’t know if Fakespot has any good alternatives.
God dammit, I use Fakespot almost daily.

I was using this a lot to read stuff on my Kobo e-reader, and I’m sorely going to miss that feature. There’s no replacement unless Kobo puts out a huge firmware update.

I’ve been reading that Wallabag has some kind of integration with Kobo. You might wanna google that.

This is not entirely bad imo. There are other things they should have sacrificed first, but in the end they will have to kill off a lot of projects anyway. They need to downsize and focus on the important things again.

I recently learned about passkeys which are a way to sign into an account without a username and password. Instead, your device has a key file that you unlock with some biometrics like your thumbprint and the site will log you in. I thought it was cool but then I learned Firefox is one of the only browsers that doesn’t support passkeys.

They do support hardware keys like Yubikeys though, and password managers like Bitwarden can also provide passkeys to websites upon request.

yeah mozilla are opposed to the current suggested implementation. it’s massively flawed and only well-defined for the happy path. if you want to know what i mean, try switching phones.
soisoy@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
This works on Windows and Mac Firefox, you’ll get a prompt from the operating system to enter your credentials (e.g. PIN, biometrics) and it will save or retrieve the passkey.
The Apple implementation is poor and relies solely on having an iCloud account, which if it is disabled by enterprise policy means you needlessly cannot use the feature.
