Mozilla is going to shut down the "Pocket" service it acquired back in 2017 for $25 millions.
The previous woke-loving CEO simply milked the company, earned millions in profit, made useless decisions and finally left when the cow stopped giving more milk.
Who is responsible for this mess now? 85% of the foundation's profit comes from Google's deal and Mozilla has nothing to do about it.
Will anyone be held accountable? Will any fingers be pointed at those who were responsible?

In 2014, Mozilla appointed the JavaScript creator as its CEO, only to fire him after 11 days after "discovering" his donations to anti-gay groups.
Later on, he founded his own browser company and called it "Brave".
Today, Brave has 59% as many users as Firefox.
These users could have been Firefox users, had it not been for the short sight of Mozilla' leadership.
Get woke, go broke.

Microsoft is deliberately making Office XML schema complicated and implemented only on its proprietary backend so that open source suites like LibreOffice can't handle MS Office documents properly:
