Sure, but I've seen that expression used like that before (non-native here).

A good way to check would be to search in an English corpus.

Same here in Brazil.

It will be awesome next.

I talk about my history with Linux and KDE and what I've done over the years, going through my work as a documentation contractor for KDE until I reach the current state of KDE onboarding docs.

I love the interesting use of IPA to have the characteristic sentence stand out.

Same experience here.

While I do like fish syntax, you don't really need to learn it. You can just use it for your interactive use in the terminal while writing your scripts in bash.

Now this thumbnail is pretty funny.

 

At first, coming from Hollow Knight, I really wasn't fond of the Hunter's Crest and would use the Reaper's Crest and the Wanderer's Crest for most of my playthrough, using the Architect's Crest for semi-cheesing difficult bosses.

My recent playthroughs focused on the Hunter's Crest and the Shaman's Crest and I found I really like them. The Hunter's Crest is great for fast fighting and dodging and the Shaman's Crest is great for silk regeneration together with Weavelight.

Now I really want to give the Witch and Beast Crests a thorough attempt.

The hands in the fourth pane...

This can also be a fun challenge where you try to dodge the enemy's attacks for as long as possible (I used to do this a lot in Hollow Knight since you can challenge bosses multiple times). At a certain point their telegraph animations just click.

 

I'm curious to see what other furs are selfhosting.

The things I selfhost are:

  • Navidrome (music server)
  • SilverBullet (note taking with login access via website)
  • Synapse (Matrix server)
  • Cinny (Matrix client)
  • Uptime Kuma (simple uptime monitoring tool) (only internal)
  • Focalboard (project management) (only internal)
  • Caddy (reverse proxy to manage all other services)

I used to selfhost:

  • Nextcloud
  • Etherpad
  • wg-easy

I was kinda surprised no one shared this here.

Konqi is KDE's mascot, lore here: https://community.kde.org/Konqi

Original text:

Ah.. I got distracted.

What if I drew Konqi in a similar style as Theo? Or both of them? Theo wouldn't understand anything since he lives in the wild but he would politely listen.

I been using KDE in the past year and been pretty happy with it.

 

I always see:

  • people being told they can contribute to KDE with C++/QML
  • people being told they can contribute to KDE without code

But I don't often see:

  • people being told that they can contribute to KDE with code that is not C++

I like C++, QML, and even CMake, but you might not be interested in them or you might just not be willing to spend time learning another language, and that's perfectly fine.

In this blog post I list a few KDE projects that you might not know about that might be written in your preferred language or in a specialized format you have expertise or interest in.

By far, the most popular programming language actively used in KDE other than the expected languages is Python.

We also have stuff that would interest sysadmins (containers), packagers (snap/flatpak) and web developers.

From the Qt World Summit 2021, but it mentions cool things like avoiding unqualified access, string interpolation, interaction signals and object names.

Not sure about ?? and ?. though...

 

Cool stuff:

Qt 6.7 introduces convenience improvements for implementing typical RESTful/HTTP client applications. The goal was/is to reduce the repeating networking boilerplate code by up to 40% by addressing the small but systematically repeating needs in a more convenient way.

These include a new QHttpHeaders class for representing HTTP headers, QNetworkRequestFactory for creating API-specific requests, QRestAccessManager class for addressing small but often-repeating pieces of code, and QRestReply class for extracting the data from replies and checking for errors. QNetworkRequestFactory, QRestAccessManager, and QRestReply are released as Technical Previews in Qt 6.7.

 

Best resource I've seen out there for template basics. It even briefly mentions variadic templates, concepts that are easy to understand, auto in function parameters (a.k.a. abbreviated function templates) and how to find out what type is chosen when you do class template automatic deduction (CTAD).

I feel like this is an absolute must-watch if you want to know about modern template practices.
