It looks like the mascot is animorphing into a laptop

[-] far_university1990@reddthat.com 70 points 3 weeks ago

Reject animal, return to computer.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 15 points 3 weeks ago

Not the weirdest furry transformation I've seen

[-] molten_boron@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 weeks ago

One of Konqi's lesser known powers.

[-] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 122 points 3 weeks ago

Based KDE, per usual

[-] RustyNova@lemmy.world 54 points 3 weeks ago

I would 100% rescue 30 pcs... If I had the opportunity

[-] mrbn@lemmy.ca 51 points 3 weeks ago

lol 30 hectares of woodland... thats about 300,000 mยฒ, or 42 NHL sized ice rinks

[-] discocactus@lemmy.world 25 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah and planting 30 trees take about an hour. Smhmh.

[-] jdr@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 weeks ago

Is that ice rink regulation? I get 91 (if you don't worry about packing the round corners).

[-] ollie@pawb.social 12 points 3 weeks ago

i love that you saw that and was like "hmm, better check that maths"

[-] mrbn@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 weeks ago

I believe so, I calculated the area of the NHL rinks using lots of popsicle sticks, a flashlight (cause the lights were off), and a broom. In hindsight maybe I should have included a calculator but I ain't no nerd! /s

Either way, that's a lot of land to cover.

What is this, Canada? We measure things by football field around here dagnabbit

[-] mrbn@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 weeks ago

My bad, it would be about 36โ€“37 CFL football fields (but I'd double check that math if I was you... or @jdr@lemmy.ml ๐Ÿ˜…๏ธ)>

Cleaning up the world and roasting AI datacenters in the same post is peak KDE energy. Honestly, respect.

[-] Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip 42 points 3 weeks ago

KDE's mascot is such a cute design

[-] Mwa 5 points 3 weeks ago

i like software mascots in general.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I especially like the three green plants on this logo that spell out KKK.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Genuinely thought that was what the post was about. Someone oughtta make one of those Ks backward

[-] Kaligalis@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

There are already two backward Ks on the heads of the traditionally-gendered mascots.

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

Nah it's valid, but should issue a statement telling racists to fuck off just in case they thought this was a wink to them

[-] solarvector@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 3 weeks ago

KDE is the best DE

[-] ell1e@leminal.space 20 points 3 weeks ago

Sadly, it seems like they're going to be pro AI internally: https://discuss.kde.org/t/sorry-to-bring-up-a-contentious-topic-kde-ai-llm-policy/46333 (If you jump in to comment, please try to be constructive rather than full of rage.)

[-] Bazoogle@lemmy.world 22 points 3 weeks ago

There are appropriate and legitimate use cases for AI, especially when locally hosted. Tech/programming is one of the few. The problem is when its shoved in everyones face for everything and all the data goes to tech conglomerates

[-] ell1e@leminal.space 18 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Some of us respectfully disagree with LLMs for programming being "appropriate and legitimate", at least if that involves generating code and not just locating bugs.

Local LLMs retain significant issues like the one shown in this clip: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/38072#issuecomment-4105681567 Unless your model uses 100% properly licensed training data which no code LLM I have found appears to be doing.

[-] msage@programming.dev 6 points 3 weeks ago

Locating bugs is one of the most important tasks in programming, and if devs can't do that, not are willing to learn to do so, they are fucked.

There's no other way of saying it. Can't wait for the AI bubble to pop.

Damm, that is a long thread, I spent like 25 minutes reading it and only got half way through it

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 3 points 3 weeks ago

Given the nature of this controversial subject are you honestly surprised?

[-] DeckPacker@piefed.social 4 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, not really.

Especially because this is FOSS. We love our insanely long discussions about formalities.

Made me lol, really. The innocuousness of that bullet point

[-] trackball_fetish@lemmy.wtf 11 points 3 weeks ago

All those years of roasting made them unstoppable, goddamn

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Roasting? What did i miss?

I don't have the space to plant 30 trees unless it's in the form of a hedge, but hey, I could plant 30 of some other perennials. Been considering lilacs. Grew up with them around some of the places I'd visit and I can't get the smell out of my head, even if it's just for 2 weeks a summer. Though I guess I could see if I can get a variety of different cultivars that would flower at different times

[-] fireweed@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Do you happen to live in North America? If so I'd highly recommend checking out the Xerces society plant lists for recommended species that support local pollinators. The plant lists include timing info for suggestions on what would bloom the rest of the year, because as you mention lilacs are fairly short bloomers (might I recommend my namesake, the humble fireweed, which is a late summer bloomer?)

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 weeks ago

Northeastern Europe actually. I'm sure there's a list I can find with timing info for my country, but Google was kinda useless. I found a bunch of articles telling me I should be planting clover, but that already naturally grows in my lawn lol
