02:46 schestowitz[TR2]; I am disappointing this is happening, but I am not totally shocked.

12:54 schestowitz[TR2]; <p>A bit like Nates 5 minutes bugs initiative, Im announcing a new initiative to improve our applications ecosystem. The goal is to improve the quality and quantity of KDE applications and the number of application contributors. For anybody who knows me, it is not that surprising. Inside KDE, I have been mainly involved in apps for many years. I worked on all areas, from d
12:54 schestowitz[TR2]; evelopment (maintaining or co-maintaining many apps like NeoChat, Kontrast, MarkNote, Tokodon, and Arianna, and contributing to numerous other apps, but also design, promotion, websites (e.g., apps.kde.org) and even a bit of packaging (Flatpak and to a lesser extent Windows). Hopefully, making this a bit more public and making this an initiative with a bit more coordination will encourage more people to help :) </p>

19:25 schestowitz[TR2]; <p> It's the latest version of Endless OS, a radical Linux-based OS and possibly the longest-established immutable distribution around. We looked at Endless OS 5 early last year, and while it was quite different from older versions, the new release seems to be a more modest, incremental update. </p>

19:39 schestowitz[TR2]; <p>Twenty-five years. A quarter century. That's how long we've been working on Krita. Well, what would become Krita. It started out as KImageShop, but that name was nuked by a now long-dead German lawyer. Then it was renamed to Krayon, and that name was also nuked. Then it was renamed to Krita, and that name stuck. </p>

19:39 schestowitz[TR2]; <p>One of the selling points of KeePassXC, in the age of everything-as-a-service, is that it stores user passwords and secrets locally.

19:42 schestowitz[TR2]; <p>While profilers sound like a silver bullet for identifying performance bottlenecks, their usefulness has limitations.

19:45 schestowitz[TR2]; That would be awesome! But Rianne is publicity-shy. Last she wrote in defence of herself (after she had been bullied by Microsofters) they sued her as "revenge".
19:45 schestowitz[TR2]; Microsoft is not a company. It's a cult.
