On the subject of hacking ADHD:1. I love, *love*, LOVE my e-reader (Kobo Libra 2, but to each their own).2. Reading long web articles on my laptop is painfully unproductive.3. I've set up a sync pipeline where I can bookmark on a web article I'd like to read, and by that evening it'll be available on my e-reader.It’s just lovely having self-curated content show up in a time and place where I'm ready for it.

@tek I badly need to do something like this. My reading pace is so much better on eink and i tend to forget how much time that gives me back

@feonixrift I'm a huge fan, and it was pretty easy to set up. My reader has built-in Pocket integration: if I put something in Pocket, it magically shows up later in my book. I don't particularly love Pocket, but it's easy enough to add content to it.

@mensrea You can’t just drop a YouTube channel on me and walk away! 😀(I hadn’t. Now excuse me while I go watch all 332 in order.)

@tek Next time I have income, modernizing my small eink devices is high on the list.

@ruhee Oh, not really. I still use the Pocket -> Kobo sync. I don't like using Pocket as my main "repo” of articles, though. I prefer the GoodLinks app for that. I just made a little Shortcut to sync new content from GoodLinks to Pocket. When I'm done reading it, I delete it out of Pocket via the Kobo.

@tek oh gotcha, thanks! That's cool. Pocket is hard to beat for "making stuff available everywhere," tbh.

@ruhee For sure. It’s a nice service, just one I don’t want to pay for. It’s wonderful as a temporary buffer here.

@tek So annoyed my Kobo's Pocket integration doesn't work with Firefox-auth Pocket accounts. It's pushing me towards... more extreme measures. If I find the time for it.

@edd Does it not? Huh, their docs imply that it should still just work, but I haven't tested it.

@tek I think they stopped doing real updates on the H2O 2nd Edition, and it's stuck on an old login prompt that doesn't take Firefox logins.

@tek oooh... maybe. I'd still only use Pocket for the Kobo as a Bad RSS Feed :tm:, so if I can get my RSS feeds hooked in that'd be preferable :)
