I'd say it's primarily the way she's posing with them that makes it look cool.
And then she seems to have removed it when talking, which is probably when she knows it won't look as good.
I'll always watch a presentation from a purple-haired cyberpunk over some bizbro with an array of asshole-shaped logos behind him.
(Actually, her presentation about using Qt in a car UI went way over my head, so I only watched a few minutes of it. But I'm watching exactly zero minutes of anything Nadella says nowadays.)
Whole Lee crap! I'm a typical cis-het dude, and while I'm less physically attracted to her without the glasses, I am so much more intellectually attracted to her after that protocol talk!
She is such a badass, and obviously does not secretly care, she is openly passionate! And that's pretty dope.
Took my laptop in for a repair, without the harddrive of course. They said it wouldn't boot without the hard drive. So I wrote this to it with a big "IT WORKS" image.
I thought it was a self-referring acronym and stood for K Desktop Environment? Anyway it was a reference to CDE, the Common Desktop Environment of SUN, HP and a couple of other commercial Unices.
KDE also has a pretty good VSCode alternative, KATE. You can actually disable the AI agent, takes up much less resources, only thing it lacks is a DAB plugin, which I'm working on the sides.
It's almost on par with VSCode nowadays, and that little loss of a few plugins worth it for the exchange of less resource usage, and not trying its best to force you to do vibe coding.
It's originally pronounced "cute" as that also prevents confusion with QT (Apple QuickTime).
Due to everyone around me (physically) calling it Q.T., I have picked that up too. And then companies creating JDs write it down as QT, making me cringe every time.
Thankfully, QuickTime is mostly not in use, meaning that anyone really posting for it would most probably use its full form, so I can know that Qt is referring to Qt.
I remember trying to watch videos back in the day that required or needed QuickTime to be installed in Firefox. Man, that brought back some memories! Lol
When used in the context of gender dysphoria, it emphasises that the gender the person is dysphoric about isn't a fixed trait ("born male") but rather a property that has been assigned to them and can be rectified. It also conveniently avoids mentioning physical traits and sidesteps the complexity of Intersex people that don't neatly fit the male/female dichotomy but usually get assigned one or the other anyway.
And finally, it's just a convenient and pronounceable shorthand.
Its counterpart is AFAB, Assigned Female At Birth. Neither has anything to do with ACAB.
Yeah, I think it's more descriptive than trans-woman. I always got confused whether trans-woman meant someone transitioning to or away from being a woman. But I still include the word now, because maybe other people are offended otherwise.
Turns out about 13 people are still proxy-offended by it though. So you just can't do it right.

Victoria Fisher or Victoria Fierce, called differently in different places online, I think that Fierce is more current.

Kool Desktop Environment
KDE is not an acronym anymore, but back when it was only a DE and not a big FOSS dev organization, that's what it stood for

OwOarchist@pawb.social · 12 pts · 177d
Kate has an AI agent now?
Been using it daily for years, never seen a hint of that. Maybe it's just because I haven't updated to the very latest version.
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 177d
It's a plugin, and it's disabled by default even.
OwOarchist@pawb.social · 5 pts · 176d
Guess that's why I haven't seen it then. Haven't touched the configuration since I first got it how I like it years ago.

I've been using Kate for something like decades and now you're telling me it's more than just a fancy text editor?
enbiousenvy@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 12 pts · 177d
it's more than fancy, it's KDE's Advanced Text Editor. Otherwise that's Kfte

bitjunkie@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 177d
For some reason I thought Kate was just a CLI tool, more akin to vim than vscode. I was mistaken and this actually looks pretty awesome.
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 177d
KATE does have a plugin, that allows you to use it in a similar fashion to Vi at least.
