I just wanted to say, I’m probably more proud of this Ted talk than just about anything I’ve ever done so I’m gonna be absolutely useless for the next couple of weeks as I promote the shit out of this because I want you to watch it because it matters in the moment we are in youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg

New from the @qt-project.org in #Qt 6.10: let the compiler implement a QAbstractItemModel for you, for any (well, almost any) C++ range.

Very much looking forward to hear about the interesting ways you come up with to break, err, use this!

Wow! It handles 100MB text files! Pretty easily, btw. And it has a scrollbar! Love it 😍
I took Microsoft’s command-line text editor (which is #opensource - nice!) for a spin on Ubuntu. Details on what it can do, why it exists and how you can try it in the article.
Using Microsoft's New CLI Text Editor on Ubuntu
Edit is a new open source command line text editor from Microsoft that supports Windows, macOS and Linux. Learn what it can do, and how to try it on Ubuntu.

I wish one day we stop caring laptops and will only use a smartphone for both work and personal activity. Maybe that's the future?

Google has been slowly building out a “desktop mode” for Android for quite some time now and it appears nearly ready to launch with Android 16, and Samsung seems to be building on it with a redesign of DeX.

I missed a point when I became such a picky screenshot editor. I tried to use Krita but returned to GIMP because Krita is missing features 🤯

It's wonderful that KDE is now used in Steam Decks. The larger the community, the better. Googling various tips and issue resolutions has become much easier.

Migrated to KDE on a working laptop. Now I have a screenshot tool that actually works, and that allows me to edit the captured images. This makes me happy.

I was successful 🎉

Fun fact: when I build the entire Qt Framework on my laptop, the Edge browser just closes in several minutes. Looks like it doesn't get enough memory 🤭

TIL that entry level Intel N95 installed in cheap macmini-like nettops is almost as powerful as Core i5-8250U in my laptop from 2018. Yeah, that makes sense, but... Omg, time flies! I believed that oldie i5 will be significantly better than any Celeron-like cpu even in 10 years. But no.
