Konqi fanart by Neotheta
I was kinda surprised no one shared this here. Konqi is KDE’s mascot, lore here: https://community.kde.org/Konqi [https://community.kde.org/Konqi] Sauce: https://toot.finfur.net/@Neotheta/113074150288818364 [https://toot.finfur.net/@Neotheta/113074150288818364] 🌈 🧦 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.
You can contribute to KDE with non-C++ code
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.

Back to Basics: Templates in C++ - Nicolai Josuttis - CppCon 2022
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.
