Happy Birthday to KDE

This week is KDE’s 29th anniversary. It may not be a nice round number like 25 or 30, but whenever another birthday rolls around for an independent project the size and scope of KDE — powered by the goodwill of its contributors and users — that’s really quite something!

People power CAN win.

Zohran Mamdani didn’t win because he had the most money or the biggest platform. He won because communities organised.

The future being built will be diverse, inclusive and unstoppable – powered by people who refuse to give up!

Hope wins. Justice wins. People power wins.✊💚🌏

TEXT reads: Mamdani's win for New York is a reminder that through our collective people power, anything is possible. We all have the power to stand up against the corporate greed that is driving up the cost of living and fuelling the climate crisis. PHOTO shows: Zoran Mamdani giving a campaign speech with a diverse crowd of supporters.

@greenpeace Are you sure this isn't just the further advancement of an overextended #duopoly, setting themselves even deeper in polaric power? Fossil fuels shareholders might just be enjoying the sideshows, while their bank accounts grow even more.

Break the addiction. Create at least a third party, or move to another country - for your kids sake.

If you lived through the attacks on September 11th and the subsequent fever of nationalism and jingoism, today's a good day to remember how gullible hate makes us, and how those in power will weaponize our basest instincts for their own ends.

@mttaggart Divide and Conquer is one of the oldest abuse-of-power tactics, in the book. Disparate #duopoly extremes make if far easier to keep the middle in constant states of destabilization and disintegration, usually making the wealthy more wealthy.

Having the most qualified, ethical people in positions of power is paramount for people to thrive.

#Google trips over its own words, when they sell you #Android it's the best computing device in the world that does everything. After you bought it Google doesn't let you do anything *you* want to.

#Sideload is a made-up term. Putting software on your computer is simply called “installing”, regardless of whether that computer is in your pocket or on your desk.

What Do You Talk About When You Talk About Sideloading?

What does Google?

Here's #FDroid: https://f-droid.org/2025/10/28/sideloading.html

Gaming Against Violence

@fdroidorg

Our nonprofit group's award winning, prosocial, non-violent video games were removed by #Google.

🤥 They claimed that we had misled them by classifying them as #educational. Google purported to know more about our work than we do.

🎮 Our free games about #consent and #healthyrelationships were unilaterally removed from Google Play, making it much tougher for us to reach and help young people.

🧡 The ubiquity of smartphones make game marketplaces a necessary channel for us to reach #adolescents directly.

internet down 32 hours aaaand now the ISP is claiming the only way to get back online is to "upgrade" to a different tier of FTTH product, the earliest possible opportunity being on the 15th. #GodBlessAmerica #duopoly
