Is the Qt "ecosystem" just absolute chaos or what? Every time I think about contributing to something I run into insanity.
"Use qbs to build! Easiest is to use Qt Creator!"
Install Qt Creator, load qbs project file; this IDE is as bad as XCode, and the first run experience is non-existent. Flatpak version can't find qbs, and when I hold its hand, it says qbs produced odd output. That's helpful, thanks!
How do you folks get new developers contributing?

Four hours streaming, merged a new KNotification tutorial: https://develop.kde.org/docs/features/knotification/
Also reorganized Develop a bit to focus on libraries, and started work on the KNotification API.
Have to agree with this. 💯

I feel I need to say something about Artemis as a former NASA employee, Space scientist and engineer. I hope more than anything that the astronauts get back safely. But let us not be fooled by what this is. Is it spectacular, yes. Is it a feat of engineering, yes. Does it make any advance in science, no. Does it help mankind explore the universe, dubious at best. Why exactly are we sending humans to the moon? With our technology we will never send humans much further than Mars. The only way humans can possibly go further is through a scientific breakthrough. Good luck with that when Trump is gutting science. Human exploration needs money spent on long-term advances - not using the same technology to do what we did before, however, glamorous it is. So why do this and why do it now? Political theatre, a win for a Trump led NASA if it succeeds. So I hope all works well and all return safely. But let us be clear what this is and why it is being done. This is my opinion, I do not represent anyone.
I'm creating kind, a native third-party cross-platform discord client written in C++/Qt. No Electron.

I think it offers a user experience similar to #YaST #Snapper.
If you believe anything he says, I have some beautiful Florida swampland that is near Mar-a-laga that I'd like to sell you.

Me working with Qt (for work): "Surely someone else tried to do this before me, this should be a normal thing to want to do."
Qt's API: "Why would you want to even do that?"
The Web: "There is that one guy who tried to find a solution two years ago but he could not find one and now he hopes AI can give him one."

On a related note, the documentation for the widgets' style sheets is atrocious.
