libc, starting with errno, continuing with fopen/printf/str* functions, locales, etc is a pile of quick hacks; set of useful abstractions at the time, no doubt! But that time is long gone, for decade(s) it is nothing but a drag.

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!

You probably still want to exclude Emacs directories from Windows Defender. That speed boost is massive.

Internet of today quite differ from the Internet of the past.

Why complicate things? Just fire him.

Why complicate things? Just fire the guy in a wheelchair instead of building ramps. Just fire the pregnant women instead of giving maternity leave. Fire all the black employees so you don't have trouble with racism.

Just fire all the employees and you can keep all the revenue for yourself!

>macOS is good

You can't be possibly more wrong here, mate. macOS is an absolute garbage. Always was.

And Windows 11 tries to mimic that but fortunately fails at that too.

Yeah ok; everyone using it in business and multimedia must just like making their life harder; I forgot Linux was the greatest even though it's not notable outside of servers :p

>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.
