I've been thinking about creators and distributors. picture a woodworker who crafts a perfectly balanced, minimalist chair. a furniture store loves it and starts selling it. but, to "match their brand", the store paints every chair bright green
customers see a green chair. they don't know the store painted it. they just assume the original artisan loves making bright green chairs. the creator's original intent and aesthetic are completely lost in translation, and their reputation is now tied to a choice made by someone else
this happens so often in FOSS. upstream developers create the "wooden chair", and downstream distros often paint it "green". there's nothing inherently wrong with that, but it creates a gap where users blame the artisan for the paint job. it makes you think about where creative ownership truly lies

Ich bin ja ein bisschen stolz auf Schleswig-Holstein.
... und auch ein klein wenig eifersüchtig.
Gute Neuigkeiten.
Das weckt beinahe Sympathien für die Christdemokraten.

That evening in the pub where one moment you’re chatting to a guy about his uncle who ran the Tan Hill Inn and the next moment you’re chatting to someone else about #OpenSource and, especially, the brilliance of @ddev

I'm a bit curious why some folks prefer the current KDE UI that shows rounded corners on the top, and squared off corners on the bottom? Cinnamon also shares that UI element as well.
Plasma 6.5 is going to give us an option for rounded corners on all sides, and I'm finding the preference a bit puzzling.
And no fighting. ;-)
