Kobo eReaders no longer make sense in 2025. Half of library books no longer sync because of mismatches with the Kobo catalog. Pocket is shutting down.

Kindles have wireless charging, flush screens, water resistance, faster CPUs, 5Ghz WiFi, an autosyncing companion app. And Send to Kindle!!!

This might be a clue. Some of these links show up in the Pocket UI as “shared items”. I wonder if this is other people spamming my account with shared links. Unfortunately there's no way to differentiate in the exported csv.

I fixed this by deleting the app and reinstalling it. I then was able to clear the items from the last hour. Thanks!

Still stuck after deleting all of HK9468Z7TL.com.idealistspace.doublememory. cprefsd seems to act up as well. Is that a clue?

It could be I hoarded that much, but I doubt it. I used Pocket for about 10 years, on and off. 16K saves is 4/day, which is nuts. 1/week would be more reasonable. I suspect they included recommended links as well. There's crazy stuff in there that I would never save, but an AI might think I would.

Hmm I would try that but... I can’t start DoubleMemory anymore. The 10K items must be choking it. Is there a DB on disk I can kill?

Loving the app so far. Unfortunately I made the mistake of using your import tool to import from Pocket. I didn’t realize until too late that Pocket exported 10,000+ items (pretty sure that’s not just my saves). Is there an undo or a way to delete all items?

Love that you have these links, but they seem broken in the latest TestFlight. This is all I get.

A quote from the article: Another of the men, Joan Kawai, 26, had told the court: "I'm a rapist because the law says I am," but said he had not intended to rape and
"at the time I did not know what consent was". He had learned what consent meant while in prison, he said.

Knitting with dog hair was a craze in the 90s – let’s make it happen again Clothes made from a canine you know are much more special than clothes from an anonymous sheep

2,000 words on knitting with pet hair and no single mention of… cats?!? I will not stand for this cat erasure. Persians and Birmans are endless supplies of fur way softer (and cleaner!) than any dog’s.

I have a spiffy new handle: @steadic.at! This matches the username I’ve been using everywhere for 20+ years.

I chose the name because it combined two of my obsessions at the time: Steadicams and cats. It stuck because it shares lots of letters with my real name (STEadicAT = STEfano ATtardi).

And (most) employees that work at these companies have to make a similar calculus: you do the least amount of work you can get away with, or the least amount of work to get the rating or promotion you’re after. Because you don’t get rewarded for putting in extra effort or care.

It’s simple: delivering terrible products is a choice. Companies build the least terrible product they can get away with. Everything beyond that is a waste of money. Every improvement to the product must be justified in terms of return-of-investment, which is very hard to do.

AOC catching on to what I’ve been saying about Meta’s approach to product design for 15 years. This is also the main reason I left Facebook in 2013.
