KDE trivia

您知道吗...?

... KDE 曾助力将机器人送上火星?

确实如此!有图有真相:

Screengrab from "Good Night Oppy" on Amazon Prime

That is from the documentary Good Night Oppy, about the Opportunity Mars rover. In the scene you can see a NASA engineer troubleshooting the rover while in flight towards Mars from a KDE 3 workstation.

You can watch Good Night Oppy on Amazon Prime.

... KDE 构建了大多数网络浏览器的 HTML 排版引擎?

的确如此!

KDE's web engine was written back in 1998 - 1999 and was subsequently used as the basis for Apple's Webkit and Google's Blink engines. This means that most modern browsers, including Safari, Chrome, Chromium, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, and Brave, use KDE software at their core.

实际上,如果您查看过您的网络服务器的访问日志,您会发现几乎每一行都有“KHTML”。

而“KHTML”中的“K”正是代表了“KDE”。
