owo whats this
#KDE #Plasma #KDEPlasma #Linux
To be crystal clear, the QtQuick side is now in rather good shape, we just need people to test it out and hunt down all the bugs, especially the weird edge cases! QtWidget side is still very much work in progress, though some buttons have some Union compatibility.
Anyway, hope people will have fun testing things out. I will likely write a blogpost about how to tinker with it when I'm not so swamped with beta bug hunting.
KDE Linux in a virtual machine (or bare metal if you're adventurous) is good way to test out the beta.

Seems like a nice matrix client https://etke.cc/blog/introducing-komai
Sadly looks like it's using "AI" generated artwork which I am very not happy with. Even the codebase is filled with "AI" so I'm not sure how reliable this will be in the long run.
Otherwise in my testing it seems fair. Though it does not follow system colors like Nheko does.
edit: Well, this is very vibecoded, it won't even load new messages.

Funny memes aside, i dont understand making fun of people that are trying to create something to help people get out of crap platforms. Maybe some of them are just having fun too? I have seen so many insults aimed towards just some hobbyists creating things for their friends, it's worrying me.
Why are people ridiculing the volunteers when big corpo dystopian platforms are right there? Punch up, not down.

2026-02-13 08:43:34 UTC

The fact of life is:
If you have to trust your data between techbro corp and singular furry writing a hobby project, always choose the furry.

2026-02-13 08:39:39 UTC

Sometimes I just sit down and realise:<li>Tinkering with Linux eventually resulted in my dream job</li><li>Many FOSS tools I use are made by awesome individuals, most of them working on things on their free time</li><li>I trust my devices more now that I use these tools</li><li>Since I run tools like Nextcloud myself, I can trust that my data is not being misused</li><li>I have knowhow to help my friends and family to keep their data safe (sometimes I wish they would follow my advice but anyway lol)</li><li>Since I dont use corpo social media, none of the crap around it concerns me</li><li>I am just generally happier since I do not have worry about any of the techbro nonsense</li>
Makes me feel oddly sated. Calm.
Is any of it perfect? No. But I take these always over the user-hostile corpo solutions.
So people who work on all of these free tools: Thank you. :)

Element lacks features what Discord users may want, such as custom emotes and stickers. Cinny literally looks like Discord.

2026-02-09 21:52:25 UTC

I see bunch of people trying Matrix due to Discord news, so:<li>Try out Cinny and Fluffychat instead of Element for more Discord like experience</li><li>Save the encryption passphrase thing your client gives you. </li><li>Feel free to experiment with encryption, but my best experience with it is in 1to1 chats (and i have my passphrase saved, which is not your password)</li>
Other than those things, it's been fine. Bit slow at times perhaps. But it sends and receives text. And cinny and fluffychat let you add stickers and custom emotes (unlimited and free :) )
Edit: this post is for DISCORD USERS, not you nerds following me. I dont care if you use two rocks and smoke signals to write perfect encrypted messages.

A lot of things i hear about linux now is less "seems like nerd shit" and more "i would like to try but im afraid of installing it."
Which is totally fair, even with guides the process can be very intimidating, especially for someone who doesnt know how computers *really* work.
I hope to run my own linux installation event someday.
Edit: if we really want more linux out there, it needs to be default in more things.

It's totally fair to have problems with Linux systems. There is no perfect computer stuff. And the frustrations it bring are totally valid feelings. Just yesterday I had trouble streaming a game over Discord screensharing, sound didn't work when using browser, and the actual client just crashes. (Granted this is Discords fault!)
We can't solve everything immediately, a lot of us are volunteers with limited time and resources, and some problems are very edge-case.. But trust me, people try their best.
Still, I try to approach these problems people have with empathy and try my best to help, even if the frustrations are scary to read.
For users, I hope you can meet us devs in the middle: We are not a big evil corporation that doesn't listen. We're just bunch of passionate nerds.

I heard that KDE could use some fundraising campaign artwork, so **calling all artists** who may follow me:<li>If you like KDE stuff like Krita or Plasma etc..</li><li>And if you like Konqi and Katie</li>
We could use some artwork: Drawings of Konqi and Katie for fundraising efforts. Here is a good example: https://community.kde.org/File:Konqui-donation-002.png
The promo folk will explain more what they need specifically, I'm mostly a messenger.
It is volunteer work (so very likely no payment) and the artwork will have to have permissive license such as CC-BY-SA. And I understand for many artists that's a lot to ask.. But you never know if you don't ask right?
There's different style campaigns for different holiday seasons. If you're interested, let me know here or my email, and I'll give out details how to contact the promo team. You can also chat with them directly through their Matrix channel: https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/promotion
Here's examples of various artwork we have: https://community.kde.org/Promo/Material/Mascots
Edit: I don't think there's participation limit either. :)
And yes, this makes you a contributor to KDE! :)

I'd like to know if theres any Python alternatives that<li>Are as simple to use as Python</li><li>Require the programmer to write types down</li><li>Curly braces are plus</li><li>Garbage collection is fine</li>
Python is my go-to language but I'd like something similar with more ergonomic packages and such.
I feel like someone will tell me Rust is that but to me it seems much much more difficult than Python is.
I would just use it for small hobby things really.
edit: Go makes me uneasy because Google but that might be my only choice
edit2: Open tooling and not being dependent on VSCode/Jetbrains also matters to me a lot.

I'm looking for 3D artists to make and rig me a model of my character in Half-Life 2 era graphical style: doesnt need to be super high poly or anything, but not lowpoly PS1 either. And doesn't have to match HL2 exactly, I just don't know how to explain the "not high poly not low poly" lol. I want the game to look like something from mid/late 2000s. Max Payne 2 is good example too.
Anyways, my budget is not the largest, but I can pay for it of course.
It will be used in a game I'm making.
I am looking for various artists before choosing and I need to see the rates etc. If you know an artist, link em, if you are an artist, reply to this post.
Thanks!

Ah yes, the "personal aesthetic preferences" that are worked on together with multiple people and undergo bunch of reviews and scrutiny.
There are reasons for all of these changes: new users are coming to KDE land and when they see apps that have sliders and other things everywhere, they get overwhelmed. Yes, it's a real thing.
You're allowed to critique but "it ugly" is not good feedback. It doesn't help anyone to resolve anything.
We will not get it right on the first go and we need *actually good feedback* to iterate on things, not whatever this is. I tried my best to fix issues this status bar has with custom themes, it's not perfect and there's still work to do.
Anyway, I am so tired of these accusations.

Main point is that E2EE isn't the selling point, it's just a feature in direct messages **where the most secure conversations usually happen.**

2025-04-11 21:07:26 UTC

I wrote down some things about a chat protocol I would find ideal these days.
I don't want security over usability, I want safety and usability over security.
It's not a spec. It's nothing but list of ideas and thoughts. It's nothing concrete. But this is something I would like to see.#
Super Simple Chat protocolA chat protocol where safety is first and security second. UX is the major driver.
Bullet points with (?) are things I'm unsure about.<li>Federated chats, so one server going down isn't dropping all of them<ul><li>Room is hosted per server though, so if server goes down, so does the room</li><li>Rooms can be given backup rooms, so conversation will move to other room in another trusted server in the meanwhile if needed</li></ul></li><li>Direct messages that could be encrypted with PGP or similar<ul><li>User login password is also their PGP password<ul><li>Insecure I guess but also good UX</li></ul></li><li>User can opt in to use different password for the PGP</li><li>The key is saved on users account but since it has a password that server doesnt know about, it should be secure-ish (?)</li></ul></li><li>Effortless group chats<ul><li>One room</li><li>Multiple channels in room</li></ul></li><li>Markdown messages</li><li>Custom emote support</li><li>Custom sticker support</li><li>Avatars</li><li>Profile text</li><li>Nickname and nick colors</li><li>No threads inside chats (?)<ul><li>They fracture chats even further and make things hard to follow</li><li>Just make a new room</li></ul></li><li>File sharing (upload to server, it makes a link that anyone can open)<ul><li>The file is never uploaded to anyone elses server except the users</li></ul></li><li>Safety over security<ul><li>Messages can be deleted, destroyed</li><li>Federation can be either blocklist or allowlist</li><li>Anti-spam tools<ul><li>Auto-ban and account deletion if certain words are used for example</li></ul></li><li>E2EE is not as important as the safety of users<ul><li>One can argue that E2EE is safety but it's so much more than that</li></ul></li><li>Images/files will not be cached by the servers receiving them (?)<ul><li>The responsibility of owning an image is on the server sending it</li></ul></li><li>Servers with open registration can be limited/blocked<ul><li>For example user can set "block anyone on open-register server from DM'ing me"</li></ul></li><li>Open registration is in general highly discouraged<ul><li>Defaults are to encourage vetting your users</li></ul></li><li>Roles for all kinds of operational actions, that affect whole room<ul><li>Per channel overrides (like announcement channel can have different rules than the room rules)</li></ul></li></ul></li><li>UX is the key<ul><li>Client more important than server</li><li>Have basic client implementation that allows all the necessary things</li><li>Allow custom clients</li><li>When user uses a client, client must inform the server owning the room about it's capabilities<ul><li>This is to avoid situations where some people use feature 1 and client can't see them</li><li>Instead client will see a "unsupported feature: feature_name" and general information about it</li></ul></li></ul></li><li>Bots are just users with custom clients<ul><li>Bots could be flagged as one and other users will see BOT tag (?)</li><li>Moderation should never need a bot<ul><li>Moderation can however be automated with one (like automated community ban lists)</li></ul></li></ul></li><li>Voice and video chat can be added much later when text part works (?)<ul><li>These could be somekind of media streams that just play</li><li>Client would handle the microphone etc. settings</li><li>Or just use mumble lol, idk if everything needs to be done in same app</li></ul></li><li>Messages could be just JSON data between servers (?)<ul><li>Timestamp</li><li>Room-ID</li><li>User</li><li>Message</li><li>????</li></ul></li>

"AI" is here to monetize the human insecurity.
Most of the time i see people using "AI" generated pictures, text, code, whatever.. they mention they are "not good enough" to make their own.
You don't have to be "good." You have to be *you.*
These tools are feeding on your insecurity. They're there to *monetize your insecurity.*
Many people are insecure. That is normal. You should not rely on magic machinations to wave your insecurity away. That way relies addiction to these tools, which will make your life more difficult when you dont use them.
So instead, make your own lil stick figure drawings. Make pixel art in 16x16 grid for icons. Write that text the best way you can. Iterate on things, ask for help.
The hurry to get things done is artificial. You can do it without the addiction to chatbots. Allow yourself to take time, instead of producing just for productions sake.
Trust yourself to find the answers and to make a thing.
You're way better than what the scum behind generative "AI" hype think about you.
Don't sell your insecurity and brush it off. Face the facts and work on it.
In art, authenticity, being yourself, creating things from *your* brain, using *your* own intelligence, is the main point. Not the quality of the finished piece. But *your piece.*
You're allowed to fail. To err is human. And that is what makes it art. The happy little mistakes.

I could see this more adopted way to making KDE apps though. And someone likely is already doing that.

2025-03-05 18:12:42 UTC

Tested out CXX-Qt and Rust.
I could get used to this, I think. But for KDE apps I like to have Breeze theme integrated proper. It gets the QtQuick Controls styles, but not the widget styles. I'm likely missing something, or it's not implemented yet to the library.
(I only just now tried it a bit, made the example project and modified it.)

if my inner zen is being frustrated trying to get things working, then it surely was like that

2025-03-05 09:50:05 UTC

Poking around with Zen browser: It's a sensory overload.
There's so many buttons and things moving around. Animations everywhere. Everything is super "bouncy" or shaky or whatever. I never know what to expect when I press something, menus open in random places. When starting, there's unskippable animations and other annoyances.
Really frustrating to try to use and learn. I don't want my browser to be fluid simulation, I just want it to immediately go to the contents.
It's definitely a browser made for neurotypicals. Also, what is it with multiplatform apps made to look like they are running on Mac?

im using librewolf because i actually liked firefox as core product. i just dont like the mozilla part of it.
librewolf gives me that.
i know its not long term solution or whatever. not everything needs to be immediately solved, or can be.
im personally very interested in using smaller browsers like Angelfish or qutebrowser. but librewolf is what im settling with for now.

I believe that if Element had custom stickers and emotes, Matrix would have had more chance to catch on.
I think it still has a chance. Just utilize what every other client is doing.

I also like it, I just think there's a balance between flat and super-3D to be found, otherwise it's going to look dated or weird.

im fighting the good fight of bringing back some 3d-ish vibes on things, like having buttons be more pronounced and input fields a bit sunken. Though, this will likely never be the case with breeze. Maybe whatever next style we have, especially whenever Union is out and making themes is easier, I will likely try to make something of my own.

Back in IT-college if someone left their computer unlocked we took a screenshot of the desktop, rotated it 180 degrees, set it fullscreen and then used the gpu driver settings to virtually rotate the screen 180 degrees.
It caused so much confusion, it was beautiful.

once again spotting Debian users insisting upstream supports their old unmaintained versions of software
stop this madness, please.
like sure you can use Debian and its fine and yes yes, i do not hate Debian.
but please report to Debian and NOT upstream! Debian can report to upstream if they deem the bug to be something that should be reported.
remember that the bugs are stable too
