2 commits in the repo both generated by claude. This is AI slop, I wonder where you see good momentum?

So the scope of this investment from STA is mostly focused on area which are underfunded in KDE, useful in a bit more corporate context while also being core components used by the rest of KDE and some third parties.

Wayland protocol development is fortunately already funded by Valve. And for the kernel work, this is something where KDE developers are very rarely involved with.

I'm one of the board member of the KDE e.V. I'm super pleased to see this news finally out in the public and that the German government decided to strategically invest in KDE and open source in general. If anyone has a question about this, shoot away.

And nowadays, PGP technology is mostly used by the government and military. I wouldn't be surprised if this was also the case when Bitcoins was originally developed

To be fair. Plasma BiScreen is now lead by Devin Lin which has done a amazing job moving Plasma Mobile once the initial sponsor of it turned its interest somewhere else. So i am quite happy to see the progress there :)

> History/Motivations This project started as an exploration of using AI agents for software development. Based on experience tuning systems using Abseil's B+tree, I was curious if performance could be improved through SIMD instructions, a customized allocator, and tunable node sizes. Claude proved surprisingly adept at helping implement this quickly, and the resulting B+tree showed compelling performance improvements, so I'm making it available here.

It seems the code was written with AI, I hope the author knows what he is doing. Last time I tried to use AI to optimize CPU-heavy C++ code (StackBlur) with SIMD, this failed :/
