(Hello downvotes? If you are not in tune with German politics: this is the same government that is in contempt of court for failing to enforce effective measurements to stop excessive pollution levels. This is not at all a sincere suggestion.)

Once those kids are fat teenagers, they own Axe of course, infamous peddlers of archaic gender role pushing crap like this:

So yeah, the first step on making responsible ads for the internet is banning these particular vermins at Unilever.

Of course it's all about saving a few dollars on copper.

Will it live on? Sure, we will still have games and Xboxes. But if you're going to pick a standard that can work on mobile and desktop, there is no contender other than Vulkan.

No. It's a tax construct, and that is the only criteria we should use to measure it.

There are no interesting drivers there.

Meanwhile, there have never been anything but Single Page Applications in the native world.

And sure, Qt is now more than 20 years old, it's from a time strongly rooted in "widget" based UI systems that have somewhat fallen out of favor. That is what QML is for, which similarly to WPF that started this trend, allows for GPU accelerated vector composition of anything you could ever want, with sane provided defaults so not every project is reinventing grids.

I have no doubt that a Rust app will generally be more memory-efficient, but ultimately for server applications that is really not something a lot of people care about because of the incredibly low cost of "just buying more".

(Also, of course, your main server uses "up to" 5 GiB? That's fucking great. Until it goes beyond 64 GiB, who even cares. Work on something that has a worthwhile monetary return..)

Also, in Germany, university is free and publicly funded. There is only a small incentive for universities to pass as many students as possible and almost none for the immediate professors and doctoral candidates that do the teaching. Alongside with the public funding comes the implicit understanding that not everyone, for whatever reason, is meant for a college degree and so 40-50% of certainly engineering related students will drop out. No biggie, you are not 150k in debt, just do an apprenticeship.

But science publishers? These guys haven't made an honest buck in decades now. Their business is entirely due to inertia and regulatory capture. The short to medium term goal of all stakeholders is their entire elimination.
