    The new solution is better. It’s so good we must get all the big players to mandate its usage. If ur making an appeal on a forum like this u could have gone with ur favorite featur…

    I think reparations could be spent as they see fit. Reconstruction implies the money is going to exactly that. But I agree it's a weird nitpick at this stage, as it seems almost im…

    Taxpayer money project being tied to a dependency on Apple google is 100% counter what that money should be used for. You are copy pasting a “correct” argument against eu bureaucra…

    for what it's worth, it didn't seem odd to me. I guess the missing article and phrase indicate it's a verb. "So AI can ... developers" is begging for a verb, there is no room for a…
