Seems that Pocket is either EOL or about to be relaunched as another AI discovery widget.

Either way backup as much as you can.

The extension already stopped working on Chromium browsers and Mozilla hasn't said anything about it despite being one of their few paid products with mainstream appeal.

What github would I submit an issue to for an issue that affects the #GameGear #FPGA on the #analogue #pocket? Is there a "default" core that runs when you run it off cartridge that's different from if I load in an emu? Issue is in both, fwiw, so it has to be the FPGA (save corrupts it) not my cart or rom

Nobody seems familiar with my problem so maybe it only affects shining force, but it's 100% consistent and very frustrating

I really want to keep using & supporting #gecko but #Mozilla is going down the toilet- what to do?

#Firefox desktop -> #LibreWolf (that was easy, simply copied my profile and it all came back exactly as before)

#Firefox mobile -> #IronFox (also easy on #GrapheneOS via #Accrescent store)

I can still use #FirefoxSync on both which is nice 'cos I am not quite ready to leave that convenience yet.

Now it's mostly just a matter of replacing my dependency on #Pocket (compiled out of LibreWolf), but that was on my list of services to deprecate anyway...

Been poking around at various retro games on my #analogue #pocket looking for something else to try.

It really is striking how many games back then let you name your main character...but made *absolutely certain* you were a guy and that they reminded you multiple times throughout the intro that you were a male and referred to with male pronouns.

I'm sure it wasn't even intentional but the expectations were simply that deep. Esp in Japanese games.

#analogue #pocket #retrogaming question:

Well no one seems familiar with my issue (Sleep/save states break Shining Force, to the point that waking from sleep erases CART SAVES. Physical cart. Very scary.)

Is there any way to completely disable the sleep feature for a bit or something? I can't play an RPG-length game with a physical kill switch I'm habituated to pressing when I'm done playing

Saving seems fine, but if it loads a save--game glitches, all physical saves erased. Disapointed

fuck. Accidentally put my #analogue #pocket to sleep. wiped the on-cart saves of my #ShiningForce at battle 9.

Very disappointed, only game it's done it on but, this is a physical cart with an official adapter...

Not sure what to do, might idk find a save file and finish it on PC or something.

Are all GG games broke? They should really disable the feature if it doesn't work, it does on other save-unsupported cores

Hi #BookLovers! 📚✨

These are a few of my favorite books that have shaped my worldview over the years. As a gender-fluid anarcho-syndicalist, many of these have been deeply influential in how I see and understand the world. 🌈❤️🖤

I've recommended #Linkding the other day as a #Pocket alternative. It was a one-to-one replacement on desktop... then I remembered that I used to save a bunch of links to Pocket from mobile too from time to time. In terms of browsing through your Linkding bookmarks, despite there being no mobile app (unlike Pocket), this was easy to do on #iOS by installing your Linkding instance as PWA. You could also do this on #Android, but only using #Chrome.

But adding links to the Linkding instance on mobile! I thought surely this is one omission I will have to live with... then I saw there was an official guide by them on how to achieve this, even without an app, by using
#Apple's super powerful Shortcuts app and wow... it worked perfectly. From anywhere on my #iPhone, I can summon the iOS share sheet and on it there'll be an "Add to Linkding" option that'd do just that automatically. I'm genuinely shocked just how easy it is to essentially create a "context menu service" on an iPhone natively, without requiring being tech savvy. You could even export or share the Shortcut supplied by Linkding after you've configured the Linkding instance domain with your own.

There's a guide on achieving this on Android too, but the methods (they provided 2) are a lil different. One involves adding some
#Javascript code to a bookmark of your Linkding instance, specifically on Chrome - using this method however, seems a lil janky and not that helpful since you seem to only be able to add bookmarks to your Linkding instance from Chrome and not elsewhere, and to do so you'll have to manually type bm into the address bar ​:blobfoxcat: The method I recommend is the second method on the documentation, which seems like it'd work a lot more like how it does on iOS, though you'll have to install a third-party app for it.

I've finally found my long search for the perfect self-hosted replacement of #Mozilla's bookmarking service, #Pocket - #Linkding. It's a lil different, but for my use case, it's exactly what I need.

It's so simple a service, I wrote a working
#Helm chart for it in less than 30 minutes probably. I've linked below my Helm chart repo if you're looking to self-host Linking on your own #Kubernetes cluster.
