polish invention of national importance: the czosndog. a hot dog whose bun is an entire garlic baguette. czosnek = garlic. split it, sausage in, cheese on top, bake. bacon, chilli and spring onion if you respect yourself. born on wykop in 2020, beloved since

controversial opinion: KDE would be vastly better off without the KDE Store as it exists now. (I'm talking about the built-in store where you can download themes and widgets and stuff)

3. if none of these are feasible, drop the store altogether the store as it is now is a net drain for the KDE project, better off dead than alive

anyways that concludes this rant, I might elaborate and refine the contents here one day but for now here it is

and yea, it's convenient and very cool to have a built in storefront of themes and stuff to get ppl into customisation features but the quality of the overall store content is awful, gives me Microsoft Store vibes (filled with mid-to-low tier garbage with no cleanup actions in sight)

Jahin Z.
@jahinzee.net

my idea of fixing this is to: 1. bring the store in house, preferably cleaning up the infrastructure issues along the way 2. better moderation! remove the slop and instigate better controls on quality and security

like idk if it's just me but this screams bodgey and disconnected, and doesn't really give users any confidence about what they can expect from the store, and if it's any good

2. SO MUCH SLOP and not just AI slop, the content on there appears to be filled with autogenerated "the exact same lock screen layout but with a different wallpaper" type stuff is anyone even moderating there?

@jahinzee.net

3. who is flying this thing? the store is on a KDE.org subdomain, which gives it the project stamp of approval, but the infrastructure and everything is hosted by OpenDesktop/Pling (an organisation that also hosts other storefront projects, and a whole office suite or something apparently)

1. the Get New Stuff frontend is broken half the time, the web UI is an utter mess that is also broken half the time (good luck using the search bar, it's purely for decoration at this point)

it seems YouTube's summary AI cannot comprehend the artistic beauty of "top 1000 cheese", simply reducing it to "love song compilation"

who in the everloving hell thought it was a good idea to have two Python Discord API packages with incredibly similar names (`pycord` vs `py-cord`) ?? only differentiated by punctuation making looking up documentation and tutorials for them basically impossible

Re: "Funding for Omarchy is good news for the Linux ecosystem overall" No it's not

"Omarchy is not just a distribution, but it's also a counterweight to all the nonsense that has plagued Linux for far too long. It's a refuge from the clowns and the circus that has been Linux politics since the old institutions got infiltrated."

I used to be kinda jealous of artists drawing better than me, but that post aswell as the thought of “at least it’s not a/i” made me rethink it in a positive way. I proudly present this little stick figure I drew.

is it just me or is Thunderbird's UI just plain ass at this point I used to love it, but the semi-recent redesigns and complete jank it left on parts of the UI left me feels like they've done zero QA on anything UX-wise

and with there being basically no other decent Linux email clients (Geary and Evolution have gross libadwaita headerbars, KMail is stuck in the 90s, Merkuro isn't ready, and don't you dare tell me to use a TUI mail client) I've basically gone back to just using webmail clients
