On 14 October, #Microsoft will end support for #Win10.

This will turn hundreds of millions of computers that cannot upgrade to #Win11 into security risks and #eWaste.

Yours may be one of them!

But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

What are you talking about. We spend zero effort on AI.

[-] [email protected] 38 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

We're on it. We have to remove some stuff (namely x/Twitter) and a add a bunch of new stuff. Thanks for the reminder though.

Edit: W e would like to apologise and thank you for your patience in stuff like this. We are understaffed in the promotion and communication department (besides, modifying public websites can only be carried out by people with the proper permissions for logical reasons), and we often have to put off stuff that is not a top priority. We are currently working on making sure the fundraiser stays on track and the announcement for KDE Gear coming out next week.

Again, thank you for your patience.

a. It is not ugly, how dare you

b. it is what machines looked like in the 80s and 90s, and it is that retro look the maker is going for

"them" is "one and half people" (per their "about"). Give them some time... Or, you know, pitch in.

[-] [email protected] 51 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

access and review

and censor and re-use and use to train their AI... Basically they own your art.

Edit: That said, most predictable scummy move of Adobe's long history of scummy moves.

A gentle hint: If you suggest anything, you must be willing to put in the time to champion the task and carry out to completion.

Also, do your suggesting here by following the instructions laid out in the blog post linked above.

If you don't do that, nobody is going to take up anything you suggest here.

Edit: Video proving that what you are saying is not correct:

I think that what you are calling "KDE" may be "Plasma", since you are comparing with another desktop environment.

To answer your question, yes, and the process started some years ago. It sounds like you may be a bit out of the loop, as Plasma now weighs more or less the same as XFCE, or thereabouts (these things are harder to measure than one may assume). I personally installed Plasma 6 on a Dell XPS PP25L from 2008 and it works flawlessly.

There are plenty of places on the Internet where you can go be a misogynistic, trans-hating, homophobic, antivaxxing jerk. Just so happens this isn't one of them.

Then you got banned with no right to appeal, just like everywhere else

Damn right

Two of these are not KDE issues. The themes you are using don't work because the authors didn't port them, like we asked third party developers do... twice. Same goes for the calendar widget you are using. Go bug em, champ.

KDE cannot be held responsible for third party add-ons, but, for everything else: https://bugs.kde.org
