URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

It’s not their incompetency, it’s their malice. You think all their recent issues have been from their stupidity?

malice is a kind of incompetence. and yeah, I think their lack of forethought regarding the future of their business is fundamentally stupid. you would too if you had half a brain.

you're too quick to assume it's some kind of intentional effort to assassinate their userbase - when as usual it's cut corners and profit seeking, because the engineers haven't been in charge for a long time, and the bean counters are stupid enough to think they can run a manufacturer better than the slide-rulers when the stakes are literally sky high.

should they be held accountable for their stupidity? of course.

I didn't bring crayons so I can't simplify it further. vaya con disco.
