https://help.kobo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017763753-Use-the-Pocket-App-with-your-Kobo-eReader was the best web->ereader conversion service I've used.

@… I was in the same boat when I was gifted a Kindle. The fact that they aren't compatible with Canadian library systems also helped with justifying the return, and I got a refurbished Kobo instead.

I also finally got around to setting up a local Wallabag instance running in a FreeBSD jail on the home server, and applying the requisite hacks to my Kobo to replace its now-gone Pocket support (shakes fist at Mozilla)

Reading blogs on my Kobo e-reader via Wallabag
In which I compare two options for reading blog posts on my e-reader, using the Wallabag read-it-later service.

Just read that Mozilla has decided to shut down Pocket (!?!). Its integration with Kobo e-readers is great and something I will miss. It will be difficult to find a similarly practical way to read web articles on my e-reader, other than the somewhat clunky pdf-saving cloud sync method. Any tips much welcome!

Maybe I’ve already shared this here but sharing it again because reasons #furryart

#Pocket is shutting down :( My favourite “save for later” app which I especially like to use with my Kobo ebook reader.

Spaces with the maximal projection constant revisited
Let $n \geq 2$ be an integer such that an equiangular set of vectors $w_1, \ldots, w_d$ of the maximal possible cardinality (in relation to the the general Gerzon upper bound) exists in $\mathbb{K}^n$, where $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{C}$ (i.e. $d=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$ in the real and $d=n^2$ in the complex case). We provide a complete characterization of $n$-dimensional normed spaces $X$ having a maximal absolute projection constant among all $n$-dimensional normed spaces over …

Exploring MLLMs Perception of Network Visualization Principles
In this paper, we test whether Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) can match human-subject performance in tasks involving the perception of properties in network layouts. Specifically, we replicate a human-subject experiment about perceiving quality (namely stress) in network layouts using GPT-4o and Gemini-2.5. Our experiments show that giving MLLMs exactly the same study information as trained human participants results in a similar performance to human experts and exceeds the performanc…

Ffs Mozilla?! 😕
The sync-kobo-with-pocket functionality was my favourite way to get long form articles onto a device actually made for reading them.
What's the replacement? Anyone?
