On your ftp account, where else?
I prefer to telnet it over with a bespoke protocol loosely based on gopher.
Hold on, let me spin up my IMP nodes first.
All Pocket accounts will be converted to Firefox accounts

Re: All Pocket accounts will be converted to Firefox accounts
#32Even though I have a firefox account, I'm glad I have moved off Pocket (to Readwise Reader). I don't want all my accounts joined. I don't want a threat model where being locked out of one service takes down everything, especially when that service has no support. This applies to gmail and Mozilla equally.
Readwise looks really good, but I have a hard time understanding the value proposition. For the full application with the Readwise Reader it is 9 dollars a month. Then again its certainly worth more than a blue check-mark.
I recently switched after years of using Pocket. The first thing that made me switch was Pocket rebuilt their iOS app but with only a few of the features. Many things, such as highlighting, were left out and support says they will be built sometime later.
The second is the parsing seems to work much better.
Also, I can subscribe to RSS feeds or sign up to email newsletters so that they go directly to Readwise Reader.

#33Browsers shouldn't have accounts to begin with.
Browsers shouldn't require accounts, and thankfully Firefox doesn't. But having a way to synchronize my passwords across all my devices is pretty important.

#34This sounds like a good thing imo. Pocket is a great tool that should be fully integrated
Pocket was a great tool until the released a new iOS app the other month. The app has only a fraction of the features in the prior app.

They had an implementation that did not require any accounts. They deemed that it's too confusing for users* to scan some QR codes (or type a bunch of characters), so they went with an account-based system.
*) Or whatever the real reason was. It was about time Mozilla started to have management issues so I absolutely won't be surprised if the goal was to "become an ecosystem" or "gather a userbase" (or whatever is management speak for forcing people to sign up).

I like that my browser (Vivaldi, Brave) has accounts so my phone, desktop (2x OS), and laptop (2x OS) are always completely in sync, with no downgraded functionality if I choose to not use an account.

#40This is disappointing. I love Pocket but I don't trust Mozilla, I will not use a Firefox account, and this ends my subscription.
Pocket has been owned by Mozilla since 2017; why didn’t you end your subscription then?
Because it was just owned then, I disagree with further integration.
