@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 🤪

@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

@caseyweederman @Bro666 Remember - from the proper POV, everyone's an asshole :)

@caseyweederman @Bro666 that only means one of three things:a) your sample size of Linux users is too smallb) the echo chamber of Linux users you measure yourself against is too homogeneous (and y'all happen to be nice guys)or c) you really aren't a nice guy and you just look down on all Windows users equally.There's a lot of nice Windows users - and there's a lot of not-so-nice Linux users. Don't get confused when measuring up people - judging a whole group from your POV isn't good at all.

@Bro666 @Ephera this is it exactly. Those that take it the other way have a much too strong bipartisan way of thinking - everything is on exaggerated scales of a vs b, attacking the person, not the subject.💪👏🏻 well said!

@bytesonbike @Bro666 No, but a lot of people have said "I can't create without Photoshop/Final Cut/Logic/Motion - applications that are Apple-first or Apple-only (and some of them, most of them, come from Apple).

@opensuse @kde@lemmy.kde.social @kde@floss.social Sorry for not having time to sift through 20000+ lines of logs..
