Why is Qt the only option? Rust has plenty of suitable options. Slint is used in production and works on tiny embedded devices.

And? How extensively is GCC testing on s390x, and do they hard-block merging all patches on s390x support being 100% working, verified by said test suite in a CI that runs on every submitted patchset? Or at least hard-block releases over f

It's awfully hard to find any content on CNN or MSNBC that approaches the total shamelessness which Fox displays on a regular basis. https://x.com/Acyn/status/1895597181945725304 https://x.com&#x2F
