@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social "Plasma doesn't crash, so our cars" would be a good slogan
Can you explain it?
@can there were jokes about Plasma crashing a lot when KDE4 had been released
That's cool
I'm glad they see the value of KDE

So... we can expect BMW to support @gnome then? 🤔
🤡KDE is based in Germany, just like Mercedes and BMW. GNOME is based in the US, so they should instead get sponsored by General Motors or Ford to keep the rivalry going.
KDE has an office in Germany for administrative purposes, but its base is worldwide. As a non-profit charity, we have rivalries with no-one.
@alfajet @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social BMW is using a bunch of our frameworks already and do occasionally some contributions: https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/bluez-qt/-/commit/1a5660ab1547236c7bc0f883bbbb039889489a22
@carlschwan @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social this was meant to be a little rivalry joke (Merc/BMW) vs (Gnome/KDE).
Good to know though! 😀
