[tde-users] Re: Did the name "Trinity" have anything to do with the Christian "holy trinity"?

I highly doubt the programmers who forked KDE at the time would have tied the identity of their new software to an irrelevant religious preference. It just seems silly. The word trinity comes from "tri" which comes from "three" and it probably does not go a whole lot deeper than that. tde-meta does include a Bible studying app as you mentioned, but it is an optional install and just one of several miscellaneous tools thrown in. The easiest explanation for Bibletime is that someone thought it was useful, made it, it spread, and it became a part of tde-meta. Much like the dozens of cloned games. -- bonkmaykr Software Developer, Canithesis Interactive Sent from Proton Mail Android -------- Original Message -------- On 1/24/25 5:13 AM, nabrious--- via tde-users <users(a)trinitydesktop.org>
