@liamoc@types.pl This is related to my experience. Similar situation happened when there were some education system level failures. I was in a place where some students didn't want the current major but choosing a different major was impossible. Some other students seemed don't want any study but staying in university was beneficial to them for other reasons. No one wanted to turn up and when people did turn up, people were minding their own businesses.

@mio@shrimp.mio19.uk what I don't get is why students do this, and more specifically why this problem seems so much worse than it used to be. Even 10 years ago there was indeed a lot of people who were just doing computing because they thought it was a path to a good job and they didn't really *like* it for its own merits, but they were still motivated enough to apply themselves to their studies and gain at least basic skills. That is now mostly gone.
