In my country it’s becoming ever more common that when I visit someone and that person lives in an apartment, the building has a doorman/security and they ask for my id.

Also all supermarkets want to know your id number, but there at least I can say “no thanks”.

I hear you. I discovered Omnivore and was in the process of migrating from Pocket to it until less than a year later Omnivore was gone.

I don’t know what viber is. I also don’t think they won’t enshittify it. I just hope to buy more time until a similar service or technology appears.

Oh, you are missing so much…

I use Pocket since before Mozilla bought it. In combination with my kobo ereader, it changed the way I read the Internet for the better. Self hosting is no option for me and as far as I know Pocket was the best free read-it-later service. And the only one that worked seamless with Kobo. I really hope Rakuten buys it.
