It's Trans Day of Visibility everybody! We cannot even begin to stress how important our trans contributors are in pushing KDE's project forward.

Thanks 🏳️‍⚧️folks!

#transgenderdayofvisibility #TDOV

@kde thank you kde i love y'all :3

@kde as a representative of the trans community, I must ask you, is there an official KDE-tan mascot? This is important business.

(also thank you 💕 )

@xan @kde

there's Konqi

@gracie @kde @xan

I don't think one was made, but that doesn't mean one can't be made!

Konqi - KDE Community Wiki

@xan they do have two official mascots (which are part of an "open species" of dragons)
This wiki page details the two mascots and also the species in general

@kde @xan Most OS-tan are mostly for what their abbreviation stands for: Operating Systems, and in some cases individual applications, like Firefox-tan. I'm not aware of an OS-tan for KDE (which is neither it's own OS nor single application, but ecosystem).
@kde and this reaffirms my decision to make plasma my default desktop on Linux always.
@kde KDE being based as usual 💜
@kde something new to also like about KDE

@kde I wonder, how do you know? Are there any sex statistics in the git repo, and you saw a change in the committer's sex at some point?

Or is that what you mean literally can't even begin to stress?

@albert @kde kde backed by microslop and canonical with hard-coded systemd dependencies so meaning same shit different visual

@theodore96 @albert @kde
Umm..... what?
Microslop has nothing todo with KDE.
As far as I can see only Canonical, Google, Suse, Qt, BlueSystems, Slimbook, Tuxedo, Focus, GnuPG, Mbition, Techpaladin, Rocky and Framework are KDE Patrons. A lot of money also comes from individuals (myself included).

Also: what hard coded systemd dependencies? I only know of Plasma Login Manager using systemd specifics. But thats optional. SDDM and LightDM are still supported as far as i know.
And KDE works on BSD.

@LibreKitsune @albert @kde Then you must dig deeper, the story is not as simple as that. With all the anonymity, veterans knew from day 1 that systemd itself was already a malicious init system developed by malicious developers coming from well-known corps. Check the sources of those well-known wannabes working on infiltrating open source for years. Not normal when the Linux landscape is divided by 2 groups in years tho.

@albert it's more that folks are openly transgender by now, and happen to also be major contributors to KDE software.

@kde

@albert How do you mean? KDE is a true community and many of us know each other online and offline. We meet at sprints, events, meetups and Akademy. Nobody hides from anybody or anything like that. We also know who has short hair, who sports a goatee, and who favours colourful sandals, if you're interested.

Turns out there is a sizeable number of core devs that happen to be trans and are pushing KDE projects forward. It is just how it is 🤷 .

@kde when you befriend framework who befriends this: https://world.hey.com/dhh/gender-and-sexuality-alliances-in-primary-school-at-cis-97f66c06

This post feels hollow.

Gender and Sexuality Alliances in primary school at CIS?!

The Copenhagen International School is a wonderful private school located in the North Harbor of the city. It's home to over 900 students from around the world. This is where ambassadors, international executives, and other expats send their kids to get a great education in English while stationed in Denmark. As a result, it's perhaps ...

@kde you'd better to do real thing instead of pushing agenda. Disgusting.
