Well ArchLinux has a product for you if you want packages that were vetted: the official repositories. AUR is just a centralized place to put user created packages, like npm is a place to put user created node packages.

Sadly this does not seem to be the case here: if you read the announcement entirely, they include a "cost per task" metric which basically continues the trend of their previous models. So yes, tasks will cost you more, but results will be better - allegedly.

Strange rant. From a user perspective, it is very handy to have a very simple text format in which you can occasionally insert complex mathematical expressions. And at the same time, it's perfectly okay for most implementations to NOT support this syntax

You'll be pleased to learn that most (if not all) Cantons (= states) in Switzerland, a federalist state, have a free online tax filing solution, that computes both communal, cantonal, and federal taxes.

Yeah but the point of this discussion is that _Apple doesn't even give you the choice here._ If you want to do it this way, please do, but this is not a reason to prevent other people from doing things differently.

Yes but Wikipedia only accepted BTC, BCC and ETH anyway. Maybe one day if what you say becomes true they will go back and accept these fancy new currencies.
