@eskuero @Bro666 funny. I'm turning 60 in less than a couple of years and I have been using KDE only for half of my life too 🤪

@MentalEdge I had no anger, only worries and a need for a discussion or clarification. I would however clarify that I am selective about who I talk to or take crap from. So please rest assured that it is entirely personal when I block you.

@MentalEdge Thank you for twisting everything I said with an unstable mental state and a lot of anger directed at a random person on the internet.

In the replies to my post I did get one *proper* reply that clears up the confusion.

You however should go take a long cold bath to see if you can calm yourself down.

@DmMacniel Thanks, I missed that document! This clears up all of my worries.

It also clarifies that it is't a distro in itself - and that's the important part :)

This was the proper response, and I salute you for it 🫡

Have a nice day!

@DmMacniel I get that - my point was mainly that by creating a distro of their own, they set a certain baseline, nudging reality away from what the distro (in this case Ubuntu) they use as a baseline offers.

If you use a vanilla distribution as a baseline and then have your testbed on top of that, then there's no issue and no mixed messages. But if you create your own distro "based on XYZ" then XYZ isn't the baseline anymore - and that sets a certain message.

@kde 🧵(4/4)

Leave others to what they do best. Focus your efforts on what matters - there is still a whole lot to do in KDE to make it the best there is. A massive amount of issues to work out in the UI/UX so that drawing in new users doesn't have to be a long walk on broken glass.

And the project manager that thought this would be a good idea? Reassign him to making Kcalc better.

@kde 🧵(3/?)

- until it's in your face and all of a sudden you realize that you perhaps should have voted differently, as all of a sudden everyone is deporting you, GNOME is taking over and you sit in your little corner cowering in fear.

And no, I'm not talking about a farmer in the US voting for Trump - but there clearly is an analogy.

Wake up and smell the reality. The reality is - you asked the wrong question. It never was "can we do it" or "do we want to do it".

@kde 🧵(2/?)

Or what if Heinz starts making their own fast-food chain and only supplies their condiments to said chain?

This is a bad idea *because* it is reversing the supply-chain, redirecting efforts that should be focused on the KDE ecosystem (the tip of the iceberg) and moves it to the bottom. Away from what matters.

It WILL eventually lead to KDE isolation, a foundation fragmentation and frivolous forking.

It is that kind of an idea everyone thinks is either great, comical or satirical

@bjoern_tantau @4Robato not a bug. Mouse issue. Notice the squiggly lines - either it's the mouse (crappy or dirty sensor) or he doesn't have a mouse mat and is using a wood-grain (or some other un-even) desktop.

@4Robato that is neither a problem with Linux nor with Krita. That's a problem with you having a really crappy mouse - or - a very dirty sensor on the mouse - or - you don't have a mouse mat and are using a wood-grain desk - OR - a combination of any of the three aforementioned issues.

@pglpm It's still an ultimatum.

Even the AI is more socially apt than you.

@pglpm Your perception of your open letter is "polite".

The boiled down version is "if you do this, then fuck you." Literally.

There is no such thing as a polite ultimatum.

Sorry, but YTA.
