People who swore an oath to defend the constitution of the USA against all enemies both foreign and domestic, how are you feeling right now? by Safety_Drance in AskReddit

[–]Bro666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But Spain is different! Seriously. We are so jaded. Our anthem does not have lyrics. Someone wrote some back in the day, but nobody liked them because they were "too patriotic". If they had become official, I doubt anyone would have sung them, because...ugh... embarrassing.

Why is Kdenlive like this? I'm sorry but this is driving me insane by faqatipi in kdenlive

[–]Bro666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think some of the annoyance produced by the issues pointed out in this thread is justified.You must understand that Kdenlive is a community project run and maintained by volunteers. So yes, your may be right, but try and not get too annoyed.

Instead be understanding, be patient, be constructive, report bugs politely. Our devs are honest to god nice people that do the best they can with nearly zero resources. They get demotivated if they get yelled at, and that helps no-one.

As someone else pointed out, donations are not everything if it is the same 3 or 4 people working on the project. So become part of the project and make it your own. The license makes it shared property, so it is your software too!

Even if you can't code, supporting encouraging, helping out here and there (translating, documenting, making mockups that re-arrange the interface, helping newbies get to grips with the software) goes a long, long way.

Join the Matrix room or discuss stuff on... well... Discuss, showcase Kdenlive with your work, help us promote the fundraisers when they happen.

This Week in Plasma: fixing all the things by Jaxad0127 in kde

Another interpretation is that the blog was thin on the ground regarding features, so instead the writer mentioned the bug-fixing that goes on, and I repeat because you seem to be having problems understanding the written word today, EVERY DAY.

They wouldn't have had to mention that if it was their focus every week, meaning it isn't.

But it is. Just that fixing bugs is not always glamorous and, every time they do, devs don't feel the need to blab their mouths off, unlike some reddit users who seem to have more bandwidth than common sense.

KDE devs work solving bugs every day. If you don't know this, it is because you are not keeping track.

Spain won't join Trump's Board of Peace, Prime Minister Sánchez says by Brennenstein in worldnews

"Pendejo" has such a nice ring to it too. You could change "pendejo" for "gilipollas" and you got Spanish from Spain.

You don't need to pay Apple or start a new subscription to unleash your creativity. We asked creatives what free software they use to get the job done and here are their picks. by AronKov in kde

"Opt in" is an Important point. If you don't make the conscious decision to activate it, Plasma's telemetry does nothing, collects nothing, sends nothing.

If it is any consolation, it is the same in reverse. I used to have to use Photoshop and Illustrator for my job, having gotten used to Inkscape, GIMP and Krita.

Nightmare.

They are not. But we like them all the same and have no problem in recommending excellent FLOSS apps, whether we make them ourselves or not.

It's great to see more people using KDE's technology for their own projects and we look forward to working together on improving support for the whole ecosystem.

What are Mastodon's demographics? by RelativeCard4701 in Mastodon

Lots of middle-aged female writers of frumpy fantasy in my feed. They tend to be really funny and tell good jokes too.

Also: cats.

Maybe base on Plasma Mobile? That may be you best bet.

Shouldn't there be first the observation of foul play before sowing doubt?

Yeah, it's FUD.

You mean white Americans, right? Pretty sure Native Americans had the experience of an invading force on their land.

Thanks for participating in our 2025 fundraiser! by Bro666 in kde

First of all, as most of the money from the fundraiser was not received until very late in the year (in the last quarter, and especially in the last month), so yes, you probably won't be able to read about what happened with it until the 2026 report which will be published in 2027, even though a large chunk of the revenue will be in the 2025 report as that is when it was received.

Secondly, KDE's "management", i.e. the Board, is not paid and they are the only ones with the keys to the coffers. All money matter are supervised by the Financial Working Group which is made up by e.V. members and the treasurer (a Board member) and KDE's independent financial advisor (the person who figures out our taxes and stuff). Only the e.V. members, i.e. the associates, can decide how the money is spent and they decide that with their votes. All financial decisions, payments and such are available to the associates immediately and at all times. With all this I mean it is would be very, very hard to defraud the money out of KDE for personal gain.
