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?

It is true we are always complaining how understaffed project X and app Y are, but we are not a company, but an association run by volunteers.

In that context, if someone comes in and decides to work on a new project Z, there is no-one with the authority to tell them to go and work on X or Y instead.

That is not how we solve understaffing in KDE. Instead we have to recruit people directly into the understaffed projects. We cannot take them away from whatever their pet projects are.

Also, Karton, does not worsen the understaffing of Plasma in any way. On the contrary: we now have a new developer contributing to the overall KDE software stack that will possibly later tackle stuff in other areas of Plasma, as projects tend to overlap with each other.

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

[-] [email protected] 38 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 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.

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.

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.
