    please refer to the FAQ: https://neon.kde.org/faq

    What is KDE neon? 🔗

    KDE neon is a Linux distribution built on top of the latest Ubuntu LTS release (24.04 at the moment) that showcases KDE software exactly as the KDE developers intended it, with no patches and no changes to default settings. Adventurous users are encouraged to try out User Edition. KDE testers can try out unreleased KDE software using the Testing and Unstable Editions.

    Is this “the KDE distro”? 🔗

    Nope. KDE believes it is important to work with many distributions, as each brings unique value and expertise for its users. KDE neon is one distro out of many, and that diversity is a good thing!


    thats literally all you need; it is a testbed for the latest and greatest that KDE has to offer, nothing more and nothing less.

    They are doing it (KDE Neon) as a testbed for KDE specific development and KDE apps (including gear) and they are doing it on top of Ubuntu.


    Tire manufactures test their stuff on machines that simulate cars. But they would never built their own as well they lack the expertise and why would you in the first place when all your stuff sells better when it fit on regular rims?


    Same with KDE Neon, KDE is most successfully when their DE and apps are run by the most users. That’s why those apps also can be compiled to non linux/Unix OSes like Windows, MacOS and Android.






  • Anyway, I was suspecting that this “issue” might come up so I’ve removed the Claude co-authorship from the commits a few days ago. So good luck figuring out what’s generated and what is not.

    Clankers really don’t get it.

    There are massive issues with AI tech, but those are caused by our current capitalist culture

    and by continue using Slop Machines, and also paying the capitalists, they agree that those aren’t issues.

    It was not AI that stole copyrighted content, it was Facebook.

    Oh but its not my fault that I sell fenced Items that I found in an unlocked trunk; the cars owner is to blame.












  • What is link aggregation? Just combining network connections of a cloud? What does that have to do with lemmy?

    When you make a new post you see that you can either link to something or make a text post. This posting of links is what Link Aggregation means. But Lemmy (and reddit which is also touted as a link aggregator) is much more than that.

    Why would there by different servers in the first place doesn’t that make the social media smaller for everyone?

    The servers talk between each other, thats how I (from feddit.org) can read your (you coming from lemmy.world) post here (lemmy.ml) So it makes the network much much much larger for everyone.

    What is an instance?

    Compare it with a server that hosts the same application (lemmy) or compatible applications (mbin, piefed,…). Whats posted and shared on one instance is then shared to everyone else that instance is federated to.

    Isn’t the point of a federalized social media to be better connected?

    yup.
