All those years of forcing unwanted Pocket integration into Firefox end with an unceremonious shut down.

When this is all over, the U.S. is going to need a Truth & Reconciliation Commission to tally up all the deaths from DOGE cuts.

@carnage4life “golden” alright 🚿
@mpdg how people aren’t rioting in the streets (while they can) is beyond me
