Kool Desktop Environment
KDE is not an acronym anymore, but back when it was only a DE and not a big FOSS dev organization, that's what it stood for

Damn, those arms are long.
KDE also has a pretty good VSCode alternative, KATE. You can actually disable the AI agent, takes up much less resources, only thing it lacks is a DAB plugin, which I'm working on the sides.
I've been using Kate for something like decades and now you're telling me it's more than just a fancy text editor?
For some reason I thought Kate was just a CLI tool, more akin to vim than vscode. I was mistaken and this actually looks pretty awesome.
I really like kate, but i really miss a lot vscode plugins.
Long arms are long
She probably needs a looooonnng loooooonnnnnnnng jacket! πΆ

Open source presentation presenters not aurafarm challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
Cute!
Autogenerated subtitles are wrong, its actually 'cutie'.
She calls it "cute" in the video too
It's originally pronounced "cute" as that also prevents confusion with QT (Apple QuickTime).
Due to everyone around me (physically) calling it Q.T., I have picked that up too. And then companies creating JDs write it down as QT, making me cringe every time.
Thankfully, QuickTime is mostly not in use, meaning that anyone really posting for it would most probably use its full form, so I can know that Qt is referring to Qt.
I remember trying to watch videos back in the day that required or needed QuickTime to be installed in Firefox. Man, that brought back some memories! Lol
I love them. I should donate again. I use even more software from them now.
Who's the badass with the glasses? I want her to tell me "I don't give a fuck", but we all know she secretly does.
You cannot deny she is kool AF
How have sunglasses stayed cool this long?
Her vision is augmented.
Look at her neclas, now that's my definition of kool af!
I'd say it's primarily the way she's posing with them that makes it look cool.
And then she seems to have removed it when talking, which is probably when she knows it won't look as good.
Microsoft has been real quiet ever since this drip dropped.
I'll always watch a presentation from a purple-haired cyberpunk over some bizbro with an array of asshole-shaped logos behind him.
(Actually, her presentation about using Qt in a car UI went way over my head, so I only watched a few minutes of it. But I'm watching exactly zero minutes of anything Nadella says nowadays.)
That is Victoria Fischer. This part of the video is fun,

I know many of the KDE devs pronounce kwin as "quin" but to me it will always be "Kay-Win"
this is the way
Agreed!
