    The article also links to the video recording of the actual talk. I usually prefer text, but video might be a better medium for conveying these ideas: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;media.ccc.de&#x2F;v&#x2F;kde2026-7-are_we_really_going_to_use_the_same_desktop_ux_forever#t=1736" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;media.ccc.de&#x2F;v&#x2F;kde2026-7-are_we_really_going_to_use_...

    (link timestamped to 29min, where the demo starts.)

      The demo (from minute 29) is really cool.

      Was looking for this.

      5 minutes into this I realized that I would much rather just watch the original video.

      While the text doesn&#x27;t appear to be AI generated, it feels very similar to the meeting digest created by Microsoft Copilot. They are ok if I am in a hurry or just want to look something up, but I avoid them for high quality talk.
