And here is KDE’s Victoria Fischer explaining how Mercedes uses Qt in its vehicles:
KDE highlight at 8:22.
Note that the bling Victoria is sporting is not official KDE merch… yet!
Can you enable wobbly windows in the car?
Only at sufficient highway speeds.
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes-Benz?
We’ll raffle one off at the next Akademy!
[Ed.: No we won’t. We aren’t even allowed legally to do that. But maybe come to Akademy anyway.]
My friends all drive Porsches. I must make amends.
FYI for anyone else looking: there’s absolutely nothing about KWin in the linked Mercedes press release.
Yeah, they’re really dropping the ball here on the important stuff…
Correct, to our chagrin. But it is there. KDE developers actually worked on it and implemented it. See the linked video. It is only a few minutes long.
Now I understand what people mean when they write about “daily driving” in connection with their OSs.
🏅 For best joke in thread 🙄
