Just merged a feature in #KDE Plasma 6.7 that might make you happy: a way to "unify" your mouse pointer and the tablet pointer. You may had to resort to other software to do this, but now it's built-in to your desktop environment ✅ In previous versions (or with this option off), your mouse cursor would start from the last position it was in - not caring where you had your stylus pen. This is useful for users whom switch between the two often 🖱️

I was so looking forward to pitching Part 2 of my "Future Desktop UX" talk at @kde@floss.social Akademy this fall. #Linux needs to be building for the future and I was looking forward to seeing what the #KDE community thought of this. But alas, the acceptance gods were not on my side and my talk wasn't accepted.

For the last decade, the #EU has been funding #Mastodon #KDE #Phosh #Nextcloud #OnlyOffice #PixelFed, #Libreoffice, #CryptPad, #Kdenlive, #Lemmy and many other Open Source projects you know and love through its #NextGenerationInternet programme. But now that programme is ending and they are thinking about its successor. They want to hear from you on what it should look like: Share your feedback to make sure the Commission keep funding amazing Open Source projects! [JM]

Here is the other thing, a lot of #FLOSS projects are taking in a lot of #LLM generated code now in the grey-limbo of no policy. AND the longer projects take to ban it, the less likely they are to ever ban it. "No policy" means tacit acceptance is the status quo for a lot of projects. The time for #KDE to ban LLM generated code has kind of passed. I just don't believe it's possible for them. Their unlikely to reverse commits like this. https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-More-HDR-KWin-Claude-Code AND even if banning it, didn't require reversing prior commits like that; the tacit acceptance of this kind of code, while there is no policy serves to normalize LLM generated code in the project over time. If you need your DE to be llm-code free; time to move on from KDE. #antiAI #noAI

We are going to see lots of open source projects deciding on how to deal with fascists within their community. After decades of conditioning people to view tech as a neutral, politics-free zone, very often they will make the wrong decision. You cannot have an open and welcoming community if you allow fascists or discuss that they might actually be “merely” racists or find other excuses not to take a decisive action. See paradox of tolerance. If projects are being forked over this matter, I guess all we can do is embracing the fork. #KDE

Replying to
say @davidgerard@circumstances.run , are you still blocked by the #KDE Masto account? because they seem to be expanding their block list today. the offending comment that lead to the block seems to have been me explaining to someone in KDE's comments that yes, svin is in fact a person who deserves the label "Nazi". great job on the "inclusivity" value of your manifesto y'all! truly the logical next step after dismissing the anti-AI parts of the KDE community as an external pressure campaign was to double down.
