I am very, very tired now, and forgot my Loops, so my hearing is a little tender. That was excellent.

So now, because Mozilla are AI diddling, dog-fucking cunts, I have to have a whole-ass extra operating system on my Kobo that I have to boot into if I want to dare to read a long-form article on something other than their shitty fucking browser.

*sigh*

I'll get used to it. I'll make it work, because that's how I do. But fuck you Mozilla. You didn't *have* to buy Pocket, you shimmering tower of cunts.

I will accept, once you've gone through the arduous process of setting it up, it's not *that* much more of an arsehole to access. But it's way less slick if you don't use KoReader normally.

And honestly, why would you?

I've had my Kobo for what, five years now? I'm a fucking Nerd, and I've never seen the point of it beyond "because I can".

I have never had a problem reading any of my books through the stock Kobo firmware. I've never thought it was lacking.

Now, assuming you've got everything set up correctly, you reboot your Kobo and now there's an extra button at the bottom.

Tap that, then tap the button marked KoReader.

Then you have to set up the downloads location in KoReader, as well as figure out how that whole thing works.

It's not as nice as the stock Kobo UI. Get used to it, fucko.

You have to sync your Wallabag account separately, and when you're done, you have to boot back in to the Kobo UI that's familiar.

You own a Kobo, so you know all about KoReader and NickelMenu, right?

You don't?

Oh.

So, you search for info on how to set up KoReader on your Kobo, then spend two hours figuring out how to install it.

Once that's successfully done, you then spend an hour working out how to set up the Wallabag plugin.

You will need to connect your Kobo to your computer and make it so you can see hidden files. You will need to find the file that contains your settings.

Edit it with a text editor. Save it.

Wallabag:

Set up an account on their server (or roll your own if you're a masochist).

Install the plugin. Navigate back to your account, generate two extremely long codes, then enter those codes into the plugin, plus your login details. Do this for every device/plugin you wish to access your account. That's two codes per device, I might add. You can't just log in.

If you're reading on your phone, that's pretty much it.

Oh, we're talking about Kobo.

Right...

So, the process with the existing Pocket setup goes like this:

Have a Pocket account. Sign into it on Kobo and in the browser plugins you wish to use.

See an interesting article, tap the Pocket button in your browser.

Open your Kobo, sync it, then tap More > Pocket.

There are your articles. Read away, my good dude. Read away.

Further to this bitching yesterday, I've gone ahead and installed Wallabag as it's what The Linux Fingerers kept wanging on about in response to Kobo owners being justifiably irked at Mozilla canning Pocket.

It is...complicated.

To be clear, I don't really blame the devs for this. I mean, they could do with writing clearer instructions, bearing in mind that many of those trying to use the software are likely to be learning as they go along.

But it's also the level of assumption from The Linux Fingerers. It's easy for *them*, therefore it must be easy for everyone.

Also, I blame Big Tech for simultaneously dumbing down their products, while also killing off or locking down useful elements of it.

I know I'm tooting about Linux a lot lately, for which I apologise.

But.

The thing I *really* *REALLY* struggle with is when The Linux Fingerers say things like "You should just use X software. It's FOSS!" and you think to yourself, yeah, I'm a reasonably competent computerer, I can do that.

Then you try to follow the installation instructions and they don't work because you don't have Y & Z already installed. But you don't know that, so have no idea why the installation has failed.
