@dzwiedziu @Yuvalne Sorry, English is not my primary language and I feel I don't understood your arguments properly.

But I still think that developers are primary users, so their opinion matters the most.

That's all I want say. Have a nice day.

@Yuvalne @joepie91 Almost like the people with all the power and resources are more able and likely to use power and resources to push their agenda.

[yuvalne@433.world]

i think the fact that this post got both a "KDE is still a community project and you're wrong to think otherwise" comment and a "KDE was never a community project and you were fool to think otherwise" comment as ways to defend this response proves my point perfectly.

[dngrs@chaos.social]

@Yuvalne the "blow-by-blow" rhetoric also strongly implies a *violent* and successful (from their POV) "win" of a "battle", which unintentionally reveals a lot about underlying views.

(yes: I know what a metaphor is, but it's 2026 and I expect people, especially social media reps of big projects, to be thought- and respectful in their use of words, especially in an already ongoing conflict)

@Yuvalne I don't check before each report if the remote instance is single user...

[yuvalne@433.world]

@project1enigma neither do i, but it is quite funny from my end.

@joepie91 @Yuvalne didn’t they literally steal the 2000 election? That’s what I remember hearing (though I was born in 2003, so obviously no firsthand experience)

[yuvalne@433.world]

@Byte @joepie91 they did, and that storming was part of that (there's a great Climate Town video explaining how it happened. you may even say he explained it "blow-by-blow".)

@Byte @joepie91 @Yuvalne

Yeah. Gore the nepo baby folded like wet tissue paper. An utterly useless specimen all along. Such weak tea that he even lost his home state. I've never regretted voting Nader.

[byte@rage.love]

@Yuvalne @joepie91 reminds me of Raspberry Pi’s response to hiring a cop, too.

Dismissing criticism as inauthentic happens a lot

[xenophora@mastodon.art]

@Byte @joepie91 @Yuvalne

Dems handed it over, really.

[byte@rage.love]

@joepie91 @Yuvalne huh. So in that context, January 6th was like a less well planned and less successful version of that?

[byte@rage.love]

@xenophora seems they’ve always been like this

[yuvalne@433.world]

@Byte @joepie91 well January 6th was less close, a 0.6% margin in the tipping-point state, compared to 0.0092% in the count that ended up certified in 2000, so the overturning then was easier. but it's also true it was less well planned, and thankfully it didn't succeed.

[thufie@social.pixie.town]

@Yuvalne don't forget that this shitstorm brought out explicit antisemitism from the AI supporters (pro-holocaust rhetoric!!) which has yet to be addressed.

[yuvalne@433.world]

@thufie wait, in addition to svin, the Nazi who tried for arguing for AI ethics? because to my knowledge that guy was banned

[thufie@social.pixie.town]

@Yuvalne was he? Was there a statement about it?

[yuvalne@433.world]

@thufie yes, Nate even mentions it in the post i'm quoting (point 18 in the "chain of events").

[unn0wn@mastodon.social]

@Yuvalne @mkyral Almost all community led projects are actually just dev led project. Shit ton of GNOME users for example complain about GNOME design decisions and yet they never listen to them. What the GNOME team decide is what matters. Same for Wayland and countless other examples.

[mkyral@mamutovo.cz]

@Unn0wn @Yuvalne

Again. There are many, many users and each of them has some idea how should Gnome/KDE or other SW look and how should work. So devs and their preferences and vision are important there.

Personally I don't like Gnome philosophy, so I don't use it.
