Top Reddit reviews mentioning Read It Later Apps:
The Pocket addon should definitely not come pre-installed with Firefox, users should be given a choice whether they want this functionality or not (that's the whole point of installing custom addons from AMO). The same goes for Firefox Screenshots. These type of addons smell like bloatware to me. IMO, Firefox should remain lightweight, fast, secure, customizable and privacy oriented.
The main problem with the Pocket addon is that it sends data to the cloud. A privacy aware browser shouldn't be doing this, although it should still give us the option if anyone would want something like this. Why Pocket is being forced on users in contrast to the many available extensions on AMO, I have no clue. A search for the term "bookmarks" on AMO returns 51 pages. And 45 pages of results for the term "screenshot".
Why would Firefox want to host this type of data? Bookmarks and screenshots of pages might indicate a user's interest in a specific page. I am guessing this is valuable data to Mozilla?
Looking at Pocket's privacy policy, I'd personally stay far away from it.
I hated that I'd been abused. For a long time it made me feel like I was unworthy of love and normal relationships. I realized over time (and am still having ah-ha moments) that while I can't exactly be grateful for the awful things that were done to me, I can be proud of the growth I've achieved during the process of healing, and grateful for what I've learned and what I've done with that knowledge.
I am so happy and proud for you.
As for your fears - your boyfriend wasn't with you for three years because he just wanted to see you naked. He loves you. Focus on how awesome building that trust is, and how far you've travelled.

I understand the usefulness of integrating a bookmark storage option, but I disagree with their forced usage of a proprietary provider. If they could implement Firefox Hello, why not implement a tweaked version of, say, Wallabag?
Yes. Of course it should.
Many people argued at the time that it was not just a bad product, but that it set a bad precedent and signaled that worse changes would be coming. Others laughed it off, but... we see now that the criticism was correct.
As has already been stated on these boards, Firefox is on a slippery slope, and already pretty far down, at that. If Mozilla wants to regain the trust of its users (and ex-users), they need to do more than just apologize for their most recent mistake. They need to rededicate themselves to their stated mission, and prove to their users that they're serious about it. So long as Pocket, a paid service developed by a third party that collects personal data from users using closed source code, remains a core part of Firefox, then they clearly do not care about an open and free internet, which means users have no reason to care about them.
Personally, I find it insulting that Mozilla is constantly taking core configuration options and features I use (like Tab Groups), removing them and relegating them to extensions, and then removed entirely, while Pocket remains front and center like it's something to be proud of.
Pocket. Saves websites and links, basically acting as a 'read later' list. Extremely helpful for anyone who, like myself, goes through numerous websites/article/media each day but doesn't get the time to peruse each.
Here's an article that might help you with that.
So, this is a kind of tangential answer to your question but I hope it helps. Some studies show when people get something new, if they choose to "save" it for later, rather than use it / wear it right away, that item starts to be perceived as more special, and eventually no occasion is ever good enough.
There are some great examples here about people doing this with notebooks and bottles of wine: https://getpocket.com/explore/item/psychological-specialness-spirals-can-make-ordinary-items-feel-like-treasures-and-may-explain-how

Stumbleupon is now [mix.com](mix.com), which isn't the same but it's something. You used to be able to import old Stumbleupon links to the new site, it might still be possible. Other than that, there is r/internetisbeautiful which occasionally has some great new websites posted, there are many curation portals, mainly for articles, (apart from Pocket) like Refind, and I always encourage people to search for anything they're curious about. Searching your interests, even if you know everything about them, can lead you to some pretty niche websites. Google's algorithms have been a hit or miss lately but DuckDuckGo still seems to turn up proper results.
I know it's easier to simply scroll through feeds of the 4-5 regular sites you visit, but there still are a lot of interesting websites out there and many are making new ones, with the main struggle being getting people to their websites and engaging with it and not just seeing the screenshots on social media. The internet's economy is attention and we can all be a little more mindful of where we spend it.
Have you seen this article? It describes the (supposed) method of making what were at the time very accurate maps by collecting and combining as much data from ship logs as possible. Perhaps an interesting analogue to our current situation cosmologically.
There's a graph by economic historian Carlos M. Cippola that speaks to what you're saying. What commenter calls doormat, Cippola classifies as Helpless.
This synopsis of his essay The Five Universal Laws of Human Stupidity is a good read.
There is a great write up about that episode, from some of the writers and actors. The oral history of the greatest office episode ever.
Reminds me of this article as well, about how google maps accidentally created a new neighbourhoodo in Maspeth, Queens for similar reasons:
Welcome to Haberman, Queens! Population: 0
The article also discusses the erasure of historically black neighbourhoods, perhaps most notably, the "fruit belt" neighbourhood.
While not recent, Pocket is also a huge privacy issue:
Straight from their privacy policy page: https://getpocket.com/privacy
- we collect information about the URLs, titles and content of the web pages and other information you save to Pocket.
- The types of information we collect includes your browser type, device type, device id, time zone, language, and other information related to the manner in which you access the Pocket Technologies.
- We may also use non-identifying, non-aggregated information to deliver tailored advertisements to you.
- We may also share your device ID with third parties in connection with advertising campaigns.
And Firefox by default used to automatically send each of your downloads to Google servers to scan them.
in case you are curious here is the that Teaser: Announcement For a Teaser For an Announcement of Teaser Trailer For a Trailer of Erik Dri >>>>>Full Movie^HD https//:getpocket.com/s/ksdsisrg
I will get downvoted for this but I actually like pocket recomandations. They are long complex articles that offer a lot of information. I like them so much that I bookmarked the Pocket explore page and visit it from time to time https://getpocket.com/explore/trending/?
You should read this article: Why Poverty is like a disease
It is about someone who makes $700,000 /yr but is still stuck in survival mode because previous bouts of poverty rewired his brain. It is one of those what has been seen can never be unseen kind of things. You can raise a man out of poverty but you can never erase the poverty mindset when it has become ingrained.
Hands down the best when it helps with organization of all my resources ontop of categorizing per language.

>For women, changing behaviors and biological imperatives are leading to a material imbalance, which tends to be felt once they’re ready to start a family, and can’t. This is at least in part because of some expectations and behaviors that aren’t changing. From relatively conservative, predominantly Muslim Indonesia to nominally liberal America, it’s a widely accepted norm that women marry men with as much, if not more, education than themselves; men who will earn equal or higher salaries, and be the main household breadwinners. This isn’t necessarily right, but it’s deeply ingrained, connected with traditional ideas of masculinity, providing for a family, and protecting it, that are hard to shake. (There’s even a term for it: hypergamy.)

I personally use Papaly which helps me organize all my daily links. Definitely a plus if you're like me and have hundreds of bookmarks.
EDIT: One of my many boards for an example https://papaly.com/lokmansalikoon/4l7t/LifeHack
Submission Statement: "Every time she got close to someone, Shelley found herself thinking, Yeah, we’re really great friends, but you don’t have a clue who I am." Here is an extraordinary and timely piece about the daughter of Jane Roe, who found her identity out at age 19 and only revealed it a few months ago. This story was also recently included in Pocket’s Best of 2021 collection, under "What We Learned in 2021."
"Franklin and his crew of college activists immediately became conflicted
over how to achieve their well-intentioned and often lofty goals, which
also included ridding the U.S. of racism and police brutality,
elevating the voices of minorities and women, reforming the prison
system, and of course, getting the country out of Vietnam. While the
group had originally focused on local issues or racial and economic
justice, they soon turned to more ambitious action: They aimed to be a
catalyst for an armed communist revolution in the United States."
Gosh how could they possibly fail? Lack of twitter clout, probably.

This is precisely why I’ve turned to using this astounding bookmark manager for my Reddit saves across accounts. Very robust customization with tagging, collections, manual sorting, backups, the works. Public code on GitHub. Privacy-minded.
After a few months I sprung for the inexpensive pro version because I can’t fathom the developer dropping support.
I use Pocket to save long articles when on my computer, and read them on my phone whenever I'm bored and have nothing to do.
I've been in the top 1% of Pocket users for the past 3 years :P
Personally the only thing I miss from Firefox at this point a better new tab page. With custom speed dials, folders that uses the whole space. (kinda like in vivaldi or something similar to papaly would work for me as well). I really hope that one day we'll see a test pilot about this.
Anyway, keep up the good work guys!
I have way too many bookmarks and resources when it comes to programming. I just sort each language or type in each board to check for reference.

On mobile so I'll be brief. I do use Pocket regularly and I'll eventually come back to it unlike that bookmark hell I call a library. Pocket's source code will eventually become open source according to Mozilla's chief business and legal officer Denelle Dixon-Thayer as written on Mozilla's blog post on acquiring Pocket. Pocket also released their own blog post on the news.
Unfortunately it's only possible to donate to the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation. Firefox development is 100% done by its for-profit subsidiary, the Mozilla Corporation, so that Firefox can be used in commercial transactions (like the Google search placement deal) without falling afoul of tax laws.
Donations to the Foundation do not directly impact Firefox development.
Donating to the Foundation is still a great idea, but unless and until the Foundation gets enough donations to fund Firefox (hundreds of millions of dollars a year) they're going to need to continue to pursue commercial revenue sources, like sponsored suggestions.
All that said, there are subscription offerings you can buy which help fund the Mozilla Corporation and thus directly benefit Firefox:
Pocket is owned by Mozilla, so paying for it goes straight to their bottom line.
To be fair, the only reason US had such great conditions and decent lives and opportunities for many decades after WWII was because of USSR. After that ended, rampant capitalism took form which is how we ended up here, at the devil's asshole of oligarchic manipulation. That and neoliberal fantasists didn't help much.
Proof in pudding: https://getpocket.com/explore/item/economists-on-the-run?utm_source=pocket-newtab
> Paul Krugman and other mainstream trade experts are now admitting that they were wrong about globalization: It hurt American workers far more than they thought it would.
> “Silly” was a word Krugman used a lot to describe pundits who raised fears of economic competition from other nations, especially China. Don’t worry about it, he said: Free trade will have only minor impact on your prosperity.
> In a recent essay titled “What Economists (Including Me) Got Wrong About Globalization,” adapted from a forthcoming book on inequality, Krugman writes that he and other mainstream economists “missed a crucial part of the story” in failing to realize that globalization would lead to “hyperglobalization” and huge economic and social upheaval, particularly of the industrial middle class in America. And many of these working-class communities have been hit hard by Chinese competition, which economists made a “major mistake” in underestimating, Krugman says.
> quite a “whoops” moment, considering all the ruined American communities and displaced millions of workers we’ve seen in the interim. And a newly humbled Krugman must consider an even more disturbing idea: Did he and other mainstream economists help put a protectionist populist, Donald Trump, in the White House with a lot of bad advice about free markets?

For those interested to host something like pocket on their own servers, I just leave this here: https://www.wallabag.org
It's open source, quite polished and can be fed with apps for Android/iOS/WP, extensions for FF/Chrome and bookmarklets.
Edit, just tested on a friends rather cheap webhosting package, also worked, so that is another option for some people.

You should really check out Papaly if you have that many bookmarks. Also, I'm surprised Google hasn't done anything to their Bookmarker since majority of their community dislikes it.
Unfortunately, Mozilla had a reading-list that was actually pretty neat, and completely superseded anything pocket did. It looked like it would (eventually) leverage the sync functionality. Currently, it was limited to the (android) device you were using it on.
I've been a pocket user for a while (since it was "read it later"), and was really looking toward having the reading list on the desktop so I could stop using pocket. (I'm not a fan of pocket's UX).
Unfortunately, it looks like reading list development has been halted in favour of pocket. Sad.
Looks like I'll have to stop waiting and just install wallabag on my own.
I saw this article and thought of our friends at AAM (in particular, the headline made me laugh.)
Ich verwende Pocket (ehemals Read-it-later). https://getpocket.com Das ist mittlerweile in Firefox integriert und es gibt Apps für Android und IOS. Man kann direkt beim "Senden an Pocket" Tags (ein oder mehrere) vergeben, nach denen man dann auch suchen oder sortieren kann. Sehr praktisch.
Das ist allerdings eine proprietäre Lösung. Freie Empfehlungen gibt es auch: https://prism-break.org/de/all/#bookmark-sync Ich will mir eine Nextcloud Instanz installieren und das mal testen.
I use Pocket to save the chapters and have them available on my devices (mainly Kobo ereader and smartphone). Once pocket is set up as Chrome extension, it's actually really fast to save all chapters.
Pocket is native on Kobo, but for Kindle it is also easy to transfert all : https://p2k.co/
Hope that helps! :)
Which online tools have you tried using before? For me personally, I use Papaly as my main organizer and resource tool. It really depends on what flows perfectly for you as a designer. Of course, I have my handy sketch book and whiteboard on the side!

I found Google bookmarks extremely frustrating to use ontop of the constant destruction of their UI/UX. Their new "old" interface made it impossible to organize more than 10+ bookmarks. Once they released the visual interface I switched everything over to Papaly and haven't looked back. They're everything that Google bookmarks wasn't and extremely easy to organize all my 100+ designer resources with ease.
Link to their Chrome Extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/new-tab-bookmark-speed-di/pdcohkhhjbifkmpakaiopnllnddofbbn
try Pocket. It's basically a well designed bookmarks manager. Google also has a built in one if you use Chrome, but it isn't as pretty.
You can try Pocket if you want to read on your phone, tablet or laptop. And the addon Batch Save Pocket to save then faster.

The English also did the big, wide lawns. Jefferson and Washington liked what the French and English were doing, and so copied them at Monticello and Mount Vernon. They didn't really take off until after WW2, when having a well-kept lawn was a mark of "respectability".

Robert E. Lee was a bastard. His "necessary evil" motif is a white-washing of his real persona by white supremacists.
>Lee was a slaveowner—his own views on slavery were explicated in an 1856 letter that is often misquoted to give the impression that Lee was some kind of an abolitionist. In the letter, he describes slavery as “a moral & political evil,” but goes on to explain that:
> "I think it however a greater evil to the white man than to the black race, & while my feelings are strongly enlisted in behalf of the latter, my sympathies are more strong for the former. The blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa, morally, socially & physically. The painful discipline they are undergoing, is necessary for their instruction as a race, & I hope will prepare & lead them to better things. How long their subjugation may be necessary is known & ordered by a wise Merciful Providence. Their emancipation will sooner result from the mild & melting influence of Christianity, than the storms & tempests of fiery Controversy. "
>The argument here is that slavery is bad for white people, good for black people, and most importantly, it is better than abolitionism; emancipation must wait for divine intervention. That black people might not want to be slaves does not enter into the equation; their opinion on the subject of their own bondage is not even an afterthought to Lee.

> The Five Universal Laws of Human Stupidity
> In 1976, a professor of economic history at the University of California, Berkeley published an essay outlining the fundamental laws of a force he perceived as humanity’s greatest existential threat: Stupidity.
> Law 1: Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
> Law 2: The probability that a certain person be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
> Law 3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
> Law 4: Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.
> Law 5: A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

I don’t know if anyone else read this article, but it kinda made me want to go off. I won’t be that person who finds the writers email and sends them a message, but it did make me consider it. The person who wrote it clearly dislikes their Mom and the people who shop at estate sales. I’d probably hate estate sale people too if my Mom was an incompetent kook who couldn’t run a business, yet made me spend my weekends at her estate sales. It also annoys me because they sentimentally talk about a box of WWII letters and how people ignored it for things they could resell, which they also seem to view in a negative light, but I’d be all over that box of letters.
It is if you don't subscribe to the Pocket service, which is non-free. If you still want to benefit from that kind of service, consider using a free alternative like Wallabag
They really are stubborn.
If you read their newspapers they believe democracies are unable to EVER be moral. Because only strict adherence to the ideal of christianity, that republicans support, will save us from SATAN himself.
Society has lost it's way and the true evil that is THE DEVIL has become mythology.
When the Puritans first arrived in Plymouth they could tell there was evil everywhere. Because those people were pure therefore more sensitive to the EVIL found in America.
The Natives, fortunately, were massacred but it didnt matter because they didnt know GOD. And they feel personally responsible for all our IMMORTAL SOULS.
They are the final bastion against EVIL. And they are trying to protect us from ourselves.
Wherein there minds LIBERAL agendas and DEMOCRACY is just a gateway for SATAN to corrupt us.
And though TRUMP is not a holy man he is THEIR ONLY CHANCE to push through their RELIGOUS IDEOLOGY. And since no Democrat will ever take their corner to bring back GOD into the SOUL OF AMERICA. They will do what they feel they have to.
I have seen it, I have read it. God plays a big role in their over all belief.

I recently read an article about Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh's book How to Love that hit me right between the eyes.
>At the heart of Nhat Hanh’s teachings is the idea that “understanding is love’s other name” — that to love another means to fully understand his or her suffering. (“Suffering” sounds rather dramatic, but in Buddhism it refers to any source of profound dissatisfaction — be it physical or psychoemotional or spiritual.)

I must admit, I have never opened that many tabs at once. I try to keep mine under 100 so Chrome for Android doesn't just replace the number of open tabs with a smiley face... :)
Every once in a while, I take a run through all the tabs I have open, starting from the oldest. Lots of times, I realize that I'm no longer interested in whatever I left open, and other times I realize I've already finished reading it or using the information. Those are really easy to close.
I share to Pocket anything I'm not going to act on immediately but am still telling myself I'm actually going to read or revisit or reference at some point. Because Pocket saves a copy of the content from the web page, it's especially great for saving longer-form articles I genuinely do want to read, but truly just haven't gotten around to yet. Those are great for reading when I'm on a plane without Wi-Fi. Pocket is also great for recipes or anything else I want to be able to come back to later.
Sure, I can theoretically just bookmark these pages, but in addition to saving a copy of the page content, Pocket lets you create custom tags, and you can apply more than one tag to the same item. There's a desktop plugin and a mobile app, so you can access everything you've pocketed from multiple systems.
Not gonna lie - I have a whole lot of things I pocketed years ago that I still haven't gotten around to reading. And every so often I clear out that list, too...

I've struggled with v10. It's just horribly slow for me. I have so much and so many different workflows that feed into Evernote with automations, email, IFTTT, import folders, etc. No one alternative can do it all, or well enough the way I use Evernote as it exists today. I have to give up too much to go to anything else. I've gone back and forth between V10, Evernote Legacy, Nimbus Note, Joplin, NoteJoy, Alternote, OneNote, Obsidian, and just plain old flat files in OneDrive. I mainly use Evernote as a digital filing cabinet, so I don't care about the flashy note taking and formatting or editing. I just want somewhere to store my stuff where I can get to it from anywhere, quickly.
I've been using Raindrop.io much more for just saving stuff I find on the web. It works very well for that - to save stuff to read later, and keep permanent copies of pages that may change or go offline down the road. Raindrop keeps permanent copies and it's so nice to have. I used to do this in Evernote, but it's slowness makes it very difficult for me to use it. Raindrop is wickedly fast. Being able to upload PDF files and pictures to my account helps take some load off of my dependency for Evernote, but I still need it for my online receipts and bills and other miscellaneous notes and calendar integration for bill reminders and stuff like that.
I have until July before my premium subscription expires, so I hope that either Evernote gets their collective shit together before then, or someone steps up to be a true contender as a complete replacement for my use cases.

>The document will enable the DNC and the campaign to conduct events and other fundraising activities together that will generate money for both entities. Clinton wouldn’t have access to the money unless and until she’s the nominee — but this is seen as an essential step for banking cash to counter what’s expected to be massive Republican spending next year.

>The Clinton campaign, wary of management and structural problems at the DNC, insisted on a tight rein on spending.
There are plenty of people who are disciplined and still fat, as well as people who look fit and are not very disciplined. Weight and body composition are complex and there are many factors other than diet and exercise that have an impact (sleep quality, hormones, genetics, etc.)
This is a super interesting article on the topic: https://getpocket.com/explore/item/the-obesity-era?utm\_source=pocket-newtab
the code is written in a way that suggests it's to make sure you're always getting the most updated version (so you see edits or whatever?). In practice this pissed me off.

I was actually reading a news article today, about how people on both sides of the political spectrum seem to dislike PC culture. It seems exactly like what happened with Disney Star Wars.
> The gap between the progressive perception and the reality of public views on this issue could do damage to the institutions that the woke elite collectively run. A publication whose editors think they represent the views of a majority of Americans when they actually speak to a small minority of the country may eventually see its influence wane and its readership decline. And a political candidate who believes she is speaking for half of the population when she is actually voicing the opinions of one-fifth is likely to lose the next election.
> In a democracy, it is difficult to win fellow citizens over to your own side, or to build public support to remedy injustices that remain all too real, when you fundamentally misunderstand how they see the world.

> One of post-work’s best arguments is that, contrary to conventional wisdom, the work ideology is neither natural nor very old. “Work as we know it is a recent construct,” says Hunnicutt. Like most historians, he identifies the main building blocks of our work culture as 16th-century Protestantism, which saw effortful labour as leading to a good afterlife; 19th-century industrial capitalism, which required disciplined workers and driven entrepreneurs; and the 20th-century desires for consumer goods and self-fulfillment.
Knowledge and perspective is important if you're going to argue about principles and what you personally think a company should be doing with their products.
Mozilla makes a browser. Not just for you and me, but everyone. Many of us disagree with Pocket, but many others don't (as evidenced by how popular the addon is/was). Heck, the feature is only activated when you, well, activate it.
In fact Facebook-type services can already be integrated with the Social API in Firefox since version 29 or so, and third-party search engines like Google are already integrated for much longer. Firefox has practically always had third-party affiliations that you seem to have idealistic conflicts with.
Not to mention that services like Pocket aren't innately evil just because they can be. I don't even see evidence of a lawsuit after a basic web search. I also get the feeling that nobody complaining about Pocket's third-party status has actually read their Privacy Policy (although I've not seen Mozilla's custom policy with regard to Pocket, it seems unlikely that it would be worse).
People here love to just view everything as a dire, dire situation and wag their fingers at Mozilla. But again: knowledge and perspective are important. We want to actually effect change, and not just act self-righteous and be ignored, right?
I use Pocket. You can add tags and archive\favorite what you want, delete what you don't. Also you can tag items and sort by PIC\VID\Article. Best part is its free. There is a paid version but I haven't found a need for it yet (better searching through your collection I believe).
> I think a formatting convention unique to fanfics is that most don't indent paragraphs,
I think this is just online writing in general, not just fanfics. Like if you look at a random online article it's the same thing.
That's it... ama gonna get myself a crow to advise on "what's your move for tomorrow"
In short, Christianity's primary hook to begin with...Satanic Panic. Everything in QAnon's worst nightmare boils down to Satanphobia. The pedos are a Satanic cabal. Commies are godless Satanists. Leftists/Democrats tend to be less Fundy/Evangelical Christians...and thus Satanic.
Qristianity is the age-old, viral reservoir here...QAnon is just one of its modern tentacles.
That's a shitty retort! If we were paid enough and had decent living conditions we could actually afford to pay more for all of this shit.

Well, obviously the Wallabag features are a good point to start. Good Text/Image-extraction from the Webpage would be key for me. Also mobile device support.
For a slightly more tolerable reading experience. Also that was one of the best written articles I've ever read.
I remember reading an old article about the 4 burners theory.
https://getpocket.com/explore/item/the-downside-of-work-life-balance
Basically, think of life as being made up of 4 quadrants - family, friends, health and work. To be successful, choose 3 and sacrifice 1. To be really successful, sacrifice 2 and focus on the other two.
The gist of it is that life is really all about tradeoffs, and that it may never really be feasible to expect to be able to juggle all 4 successfully. Obviously, you can choose to divide your time amongst all 4 areas, but then recognise that you may never maximise your potential in any of them.
You can’t have it all, and everyone has constraints on their time and energy. It’s a nice pipe dream, but I really don’t see why it’s somehow the responsibility of a company to ensure that you have work-life balance. That’s really on the onus of the individual (eg: find a cushier job if you think your current one is too tiring, though it may entail accepting less pay), but do also note that every choice essentially has a cost.
>Success didn’t stem from textbook knowledge about trees, it grew from realizing we shared the world with trees in mutual interdependence. “We are mere components in complicated interdependent and reciprocal processes,” Powers said. In other words, we are not in charge. “So long as science has a program of being in charge, it will be at war with art. Because the best thing that art does, the thing that’s really in the corner of the artist, is that sense of surrender to things larger than yourself.”
We Are All Bewildered Machines
The article has a lot to do with stuff we are interested with, anatta, dealing with the fear, bewilderment (dukkha), etc.
Interestingly there is no indication that either of them have a buddhist background. Very interesting article.
Don't take /u/Oticy seriously though...most of the designers and front end devs in my office laughed at his idea that "web development and web design can be used interchangeably", because that is completely wrong.
I know plenty of front end developers who are terrible web designers and have zero notion of good UX. This also applies the otherway around (great designers that are terrible web developers).
Also, Youtube is definitely not the best source of information. A lot of great resources lie in more hidden places like medium blogs posts as well as paid learning resources. I've actually found Pocket (yeah, that save-for-later reading tool) surprisingly great for finding new awesome articles on Web Design and Web Development if you use it's social component, since once you start adding articles to your read-later list, pocket automatically recommends other great, highly saved articles that other pocket readers saved for later that have saved content simialr to yours.
Lastly, while I agree that conversion rates are one of the most important pillars of web design, it's definitely not the most or only important one (or the one you should focus the most at first at least). Conversion rates mean little if you can't get users to stick around your site long enough for them to work, and for that you need to study plenty of UI and UX (albeit UX tends to come more with experience than by books) first.
I switched from Google Bookmarks over to Papaly ever since they went downhill with their interface. Hands down the best bookmarking managers that I've tried out. If you're like me and on the computer a lot it will save you a lot of time.

Reading through this thread makes me think you believe that self interest is the primary incentive for innovation. Nothing could be further from the truth. Self interest only encourages mimicry, a drive to get what is perceived to be wealth. Actual innovation comes from trying to benefit society; helping others.
As for the best benefit for all with the greatest efficiency? The strategy that delivers the best returns, it turns out, is to divide the funding equally.
Businesses have gotten wise to Outline. I think Outline also got in a lot of trouble for creating the go-to skirt paywall web app.
Something I do is save the article to an app called Pocket, which kind of does the same thing. It just removes all of the code. It usually skirts paywalls with maybe the exception of WSJ.
I’m sure Pocket’s time will come too once more people use it. But for now it works for Nola.com
Morning Brew and Pocket are give a pretty decent roundup of what's happening. Morning Brew has a homepage as well as a newsletter you can subscribe to, which emails you a daily summary of important news across diverse categories from economy to tech to everything else... ostensibly something you can read over your morning coffee, so like in 5 minutes or so. And if you have more time on your hands to read, Pocket provides recommendations on the Firefox homepage and has an Explore page where you can search news by topic.
This is an excellent article if you are anything like me and fall into the trap of only talking about sports and work with people
The paradox of addiction is that you want the thing more and more, but enjoy it less and less. Heroin is obviously the extreme but this is true of pretty much everything. A pretty neat article about it.
Glad you had this realization and are able to use it to help yourself.
Are you implying that humans are somehow superior just because chimpanzees can also be brutal? Have a gander at this:
Mozilla's product get pocket which is inbuilt in browser and can be accessed via " https://getpocket.com/ " has connections to google via captcha and cookies. Try to log in via tor or highly degoogled or ungoogled area and you will be asked to enable third party cookies and captcha will fail.

About notes, avoid it as it not developed and is also underdeveloped. I can name many other alternatives that are active, working and have better FOSS treatment.
That extension is awesome! I would use it all the time to print articles!
I stopped using it recently because I got a kindle paperwhite for my birthday and have been reading articles on the e-ink display. I've been really enjoying it so far.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to get the automated services like pocket and instapaper to automatically send articles from my computer to the kindle. However I did find a great chrome extension called dotEPUB that automatically converts articles to ePUB and .MOBI extensions and saves them to my computer. Takes less than 30 seconds to convert and article into an ebook and upload it to my kindle by plugging in the USB. Here's a link for anyone who might be interested in quickly converting online articles to ebook formats: Link
I'm especially loving the paperwhite because I've found that with an e-ink screen I'm able to read in a deep and focused way just like with printed articles, which I wasn't able to do when reading articles on my phone. I didn't think the e-ink display vs. typical electronic display would make such a big difference, but it turned out that it does.
I prefer saving articles and reading at a later time because I find that when I set aside time to read articles, I actually read and gain a good understanding of them rather than just skimming and reading in a shallow way like when I try to read articles on my laptop.
I've been tinkering with Go (golang) a bit. Wrote a small utility in Go for my bookmarking/read-later web app EmailThis.
Now you can send a URL to and my app will extract useful content from it and reply in a few minutes. If you send a link to a downloadable file (PDF/doc etc), it will download it and send it as an attachment.
