Right now, 50%-70% percent of traditional news is an article that paraphrase what a source links says.

Simply pointing me to the source link is more than enough for me to get the info.

The weirdest type of articles, are those that announce new products, The product is not available yet, so what does news websites do is that they paraphrase the press release. Matter of fact, a lot of times you would go to the product page only to find that they used a news service to publish their press release (I see it happen most of the times on TechCrunch)

I think I clarified my idea here, it's not worth violating my privacy to read a news that can be read ad and tracker free on the source website.

The double-story A hɑs ɑ very complicɑted shɑpe thɑt ɑdds difficulty to reɑding. Computers should ɑlwɑys show the single-story A insteɑd.

Also, it's much more difficult to write ɑ double-story A thɑt doesn't look weird.

it is impossible for a platform to support every program ever; wine will never be able to run all games; it is just impossible to do so.

It's like not using a game console just because it doesn't support games from other consoles; it's impossible to support every platform ever (and it would be difficult to convince the company to even do so).


Same issue is in Windows 10 too; old games designed for an older windows OS cannot run because they could not account for modern OSes.
