made with wine photoshop

how dare you

Should have made it in Kimp

krita: am i a joke to you?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Krita >>> GIMP

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

There are sadly no worthy FOSS alternatives, at least for real work. But for creating memes gimp would be plenty

I'm pretty sad that they named it KDE Connect instead of just Konnect

[–] [email protected] 34 points 5 months ago (3 children)

They have so many missed opportunities for things like that, like why isn't spectacle called spektacle

[–] [email protected] 24 points 5 months ago

My vote goes to Kpectacle

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Because at the same time plasma succeded kwin and dolphin konqueror, the kool naming scheme became optional. The snipping tool used to be Ksnapshot, which was at least obvious naming in what it did.

Man what does "snipping tool" even mean

I'm still mad that they renamed Kalendar to Merkuro

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Also, Kalendar you can guess what it is... Merkuro? No idea

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

To be fair, its full name is actually Merkuro Calendar, but it's fucking stupid

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

It would make more sense too since it can be used on almost everything, which I applaud (using it on macOS).

Finally some good fucking localization

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (2 children)

True. The name does feel out of place tho

[–] [email protected] 27 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Only until you scroll down to the 'K' section of the "All Applications" tab and suddenly everything makes a lot of frustrating sense.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (3 children)

What do you mean "scroll down to K"?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 months ago (2 children)

The group "kde-applications" has over 100 entries that start with the letter 'k'.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

Funny. Your observation made me think that for the purpose of finding stuff it's most efficient to have a perfectly linear distribution across all letters. Ie if there is 26 letters and I type out a single one I'm precluding 25/26 applications.

Of course the application menu uses fuzzy search meaning it looks at the whole string not just the beginning and also crawls through meta data and tags.

Still for searching it seems most efficient if a language uses all letters evenly 🤔.

Kinda kinky, keeping kowtow kicking.

I know, the naming scheme is fairly obvious, but it's the only regular program with a german name (that I know of)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I didn't even know it's German. Was that deliberate or a happy coincidence because it's a hard 'c' in English and they seem to turn all words that start with a hard 'c' into apps that start with a 'k'?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It's probably more of the latter, but KDE's roots were in Germany!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Man, I probably should have known that. Thanks.

Do note that the default non-X terminal is called console: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_console

Ja, bitte erklärt es mir. [=

Disclaimer: I use gnome-console as my terminal emulator; switched from gnome-terminal ~2 years ago.

How was there never a legal battle between KDE and Mortal Kombat?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

Which one should have taken the other to kourt?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Windows devs: "We need to ask the keyboard makers to add a special key for OS stuff. A Windows key. Yeah."

KDE devs: "There's something special about the K key, and none of us can put it to words."

This used to bother me way more than it does now.

The Knaming scheme was so Koff putting that I refused to use KDE for years based purely on how much it annoyed me.

But it's been 15 years now and GNOME has turned into Fisher Price. KDE things always seemed to work better, like Phonon works 1000 times better than GStreamer and apps like Krita and Kdenlive are far more useful than GNOME equivalents.

Thinking about giving KDE a spin with the new Plasma 6 release

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

I was the same. I also avoided any Kpackage because of kdependencies it would install along with it.

I was shocked when my Linux Guru recommended KDE whenever it was that Plasma got really good. I reluctantly tried it and I was hooked. I was in love with the infinitely user configurable UI. I felt like I could easily bend the interface to do what I wanted. It’s been many years now and it’s hard for me to use anything but KDE. I even tried to give Plasma Mobile a go on my Pine Phone.

I'm always doing this when I have to use gnome and it does nothing. So annoying
