I still play the games. Testing GCompris is a massive time sink. You get caught up in all the activities.

You can also turn things on its head, like

“Krita supports a wide range of tablets and drawing devices out of the box, so you won’t miss expensive closed proprietary alternatives like Photoshop one bit”.

👆 improvised, but you get the idea. You get to reference something the user may know (and this helps you out giving them a clear idea of what you are talking about), and you cast “the alternative” (Photoshop) in a less positive light than the free/libre software at the same time.

JSON is really, really stupidly simple though.

I think “free” is okay. If the software does come at no upfront cost, then fine, why not add that as an incentive to get people on board. They will figure out how to “pay back” sooner or later.

I can tell you a word I do avoid, and that is “alternative”. It makes FLOSS items sound like cheap knockoffs, always playing catch-up with their supposed proprietary and closed equivalents, always seeking feature parity, but never really getting as good as the original. This is not the case. Most software projects, once they reach maturity, more often than not, evolve into their own thing.

There are plenty of places on the Internet where you can go be a misogynistic, trans-hating, homophobic, antivaxxing jerk. Just so happens this isn’t one of them.

Then you got banned with no right to appeal, just like everywhere else

Damn right

Reporting bugs is the way to go. They help us make better software for everybody. Thanks!

I heard you like Windows 7… 😉 :

Elementary has the same problem with its mail app.

Because the problem is Google not wanting third party apps accessing their service.

Edit: In other news, I just tried it and GMail works just fine with KMail. Setting up is a three step process and automatic most of the way.

New versions of Kdenlive is released at regular intervals. When release day comes around, you’ll get a notification.

Not necessarily. If you go to https://bug.kde.org, you can just describe the bug in your own words: what you do to trigger the bug, the expected result, what really happens, etc.

Of course it is best if the bug is reproducible, i.e. that you discovered that every time you do x, y and z, a crash happens, for example. Like that, devs can confirm that it is indeed a bug of the software and not something that happens only to you due to some special configuration or hardware problem.

Two of these are not KDE issues. The themes you are using don’t work because the authors didn’t port them, like we asked third party developers do… twice. Same goes for the calendar widget you are using. Go bug em, champ.

KDE cannot be held for third party add-ons, but, for everything else: https://bugs.kde.org

That’s it in a nutshell.

That is my laptop. It is the Nextcloud integration app. The tick means everything is synchronized.

👆 Correct answer!

Do it!

Many KDE recruits have gone on to become valued KDE developers. Aleix Pol, current president of KDE, for example. Aleix started out developing KALgebra, but then went on to do a GSoC in which he worked on Kdevelop. Never worked for Google.

They are sponsors, so they support KDE financially. They also donate a % from each laptop sale to KDE. KDE devs work closely with Slimbook to make sure all software integrates well with the hardware.

For me it was Lego.
