Considering that nuclear is expensive and in no scenario part of a minimal-cost power system, it was a rational decision. This is also the reason nuclear isn't build anywhere else without government intervention. This should be entirely obvious to anybody looking at the economics. As a physicist, I am not scared of nuclear, but I am also understand numbers... while the nuclear fans here apparently need to resort to conspiracy theories to make sense of the world.
(Edit: Russian influence is German politics is welle stablished though, but in relation to the right-extremist AFD party)
If GUI designers want to modernize something, this always scares me, because usually for me that meant that things got worse or randomly changed without improvement (which is bad enough).
Still, I do think that it is possible to improve things. I would like to have the UNIX philospopy of simple tools that interoperate translate GUI tools. And then I want a networked window system where programs can interoperate across machines and where windows can moved between them. I want to move the window from my cell phone to my desktop and then drag a file from my camera into an email, etc. X can do this in principle, but these capabilities where never really exploited by the Linux desktop. The always just tried to copy MacOS which is a bit sad.
I started with a hand coded C version, then a hand coded rust version, and then an LLM refactor to remove all dependencies and add a comprehensive test suite.
Please, report me to Codeberg. It will be amusing.
I personally know a Codeberg admin that works with LLMs as a tool for things like this which are actual engineering and not vibe coding.
In reality, I think it much more about taking more control over parts of the ecosystem - the license change is part of it, but also getting rid of the old stubborn communities and maintainers.
