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'm curious to see what other furs are selfhosting.
The things I selfhost are:

I was kinda surprised no one shared this here.
Konqi is KDE's mascot, lore here: https://community.kde.org/Konqi

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:
But I don't often see:
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.

You can download the 4k .png file on my ko-fi shop uwu Hope I'll be able to do more :3
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.

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.
I quite liked this talk. Especially where Vincent talks about aggregate initialization, invariants and avoiding invalid values.
For reference, here's a few incomplete lists:
A few that I don't see in the lists are:
When I visit, for instance, https://pawb.social/post/1768987, I can't see the title formatted in Markdown. However, https://lemmy.kde.social/post/60846 shows up correctly (aside from the last cut part).
