This is completely unrelated to the topic at hand and not a KDE issue, but… It has been solved: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-135786

Meet Ritchie Frodomar (scroll down), a legally blind developer who is in charge of bringing KDE’s software up to shape on the accessibility front.

The tone is that of a… er… dude who has to moderate this and 4 other forums day in and day out, while few people bother to read the sidebar to learn what the rules are and then complain when their stuff gets erased 🤷 .

No problem with stating your preferences. Well-reasoned, respectful, compassionate and well-researched criticism is also okay.

It’s a warning for the rest of you. People who start banging on how they hate X, Y or Z or how P, Q, and R sucks will have their comments removed. Sorry.

Bonus advice: if you find a reproducible bug (i.e. it always happens in the same or similar circumstances), don’t whine about it here. Go and report it so our volunteer developers can solve it for you and others. That is what taking control looks like: you get to contribute to improving the software.

Please remember rule 5!:

Avoid comparing and/or disparaging various desktop environments, distros, and/or other FLOSS projects. This instance is for discussing the KDE community and the software it produces, and not about pointless flamewars between open source projects.

If you comment in this thread be respectful of other FLOSS projects!

Due to this deviating way off topic and degrading int o flames, this thread is now locked. Frankly disappointing.

Also: remember rule 5:

Because seem people prefer to have choice right of the bat? Giving people control over their decisions, even small ones like this, is the KDE way.

That would not make sense. Plasma does not spy on you, or feed you ads, or make processes clunkier to force you to upgrade to new hardware. All that extra bloat that comes with Windows is just no there.

Except in this case the AI happens all on your computer, so no privacy leaks, big scale water or air polluting, no stealing from artists their work and livelihood… Just a tool that alleviates time and tedium, as it should be

It’s free. Go try it for yourself. There’s nobody better than you to see if it adapts well to your workflow and projects.

Projects always struggle with this—development is always miles ahead. But, hey, look on the bright side: it’s a great way to contribute back.

Aren’t fundraisers great motivators 😉 ?

Try KDE’s Discuss Forum. Also check out the New Contributors’ chat room.

It shows up on the Planet. Does that help?

Yes. If the cursor is sluggish, there is something wrong. Get yourself to https://discuss.kde.org/ and ask there.

Why not lend a hand in solving these bugs yourself instead?

In many cases the default is chosen because the people placing the order don’t know any better. An educated staff can help them make better choices.

In the banner? It is the symbol for Plasma, KDE’s desktop environment.

Wrong thread?

There are KDE dragons of many colours.
