period of 1995-2001

That time basically only some intro-European migrations happened: Germans repatriating from the recently dissolved USSR, other Europeans moving back and forth, maybe some refugees from the Balkans.

Interesting stuff started happening much, much later.

Also what with this line spacing? It renders the paper nigh unreadable!

Chaining calls is an anti-pattern. Not only this is needless duplication of ye olde imperative statements sequence it also makes debugging, modifying ("oh I need to call some function in the middle of the chain, ugh"), and understanding harder for superficial benefit of it looking "cool".

It actively hurts maintainability, please stop using it.

Native compilation is now enabled by default.

And it shows. Now emacs is much nicer to use on Windows. Big thanks to the developers!

everyone using it in business and multimedia must just like making their life harder

Nah, they just either don't know any better or just don't care. I think it is a mix of both.

I forgot Linux was the greatest

You can't forgot what you didn't know, mate :) Linux is for servers, it has no place on desktop. All those "The [Current Year] is a year of Linux on the desktop!" articles can attest that.

I dislike SaaS very strongly. I will not repeat the "why"s mentioned in this thread, just add one that I haven't seen yet: SaaS incentivize doing busywork that is visible but not necessarily useful.

For example JetBrain's products: Oh look, we have changed our icons/ updated UI/ improved UX/ etc! We know that nobody asked for this, but it will be shoved into your mouth anyway!

Pretty much sure you can find that everywhere.

Well they were not that huge, but most of organizations had "board of honor" with photos and names of best workers displayed for everyone to see. It was mocked ("look at those idiots that work for free, lol") even before USSR died.

And monuments are only for the very, very few.

Ugh... I read the same about Ukraine being a beacon of freedom, democracy, and prosperity and Putin being extremely mad because Russia has none of that, and Russians would be pointing fingers and asking questions... Which is utter rubbish.

I suggest you to educate yourself on the topic.

What does China actually stand to gain by invading Taiwan?

Dignity. Healing of the last wound inflicted by invaders. China will be whole again.

And also removal of American puppet from their border and drastic decrease of US influence in the region.

Win-win.

Ukraine will almost certainly not surrender

Of course it will.

ground troops from neighbors, EU, and possibly NATO

They are not suicidal, I don't think.

Russia “saving” a brotherly nation goes flying out the window

Yes. That is the reason war will continue the way it is now: very slowly, and stupid.
