KDE 趣闻

Did you know that…?

…KDE has helped put robots on Mars?

确实如此!有图有真相:

Screengrab from “Good Night Oppy” on Amazon Prime

这是纪录片 Good Night Oppy (晚安,机遇号) 中的内容,该片讲述了“机遇号”火星车 的故事。在该场景中,可以看到一名 NASA 工程师在从地球飞往火星的途中,正通过一台安装有 KDE 3 操作系统的工作站对探测器进行故障排查。

…KDE built the HTML engine that powers most web browsers?

It’s true!

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.

Indeed, if you ever check out your web server’s access logs, you will see “KHTML” on nearly every single line.

And, yes, the “K” in “KHTML” stands for “KDE”.
