I'm back in geminispace Hey there, just small update that I've been doing a separate tiny blog in geminispace. You can find it in here if you also use gemini protocol: gemini://akselmo.dev/ I also have a tinylog there that is basically gemini version of fedi. We'll see how long that stays around, I just wanted a...
Another Akademy attended, here's some photos! Hello hello! It was that time of the year where I go to KDE Akademy, talk to fellow nerds, almost lose my voice due to socializing and eat a lot of nice food. This time Akademy was in Graz, Austria. I had never been in Austria before. This time I also had to travel alone...
Space pewpew continues! Been a while. Since I got my Akademy trip coming and it's making me super nervous, I wanted to play a "comfort food" game, which for me happens to be EVE Online. Not much to report, except that I lost two Kestrels to some mistakes. I think some of the matchups were impossible either way, but...
It has begun. After couple months of work, I have now finally managed to cobble together the QtWidgets side of Union. This means that your QtWidgets apps, such as Dolphin, KMail, Kate etc. can now use the Union CSS files as the source of their styling. However, temper your expectations, as this is the first initial...
Aaaand it's gone. I deleted my fedi account because I got tired of how aggressive it all was, and I had so many followers I felt like every move I did, everything I said, was scrutinized by some people. Few of these said people tried to influence my way of thinking, trying to make me agree with them about...
I daily drove KDE Linux for almost a year and I liked it, but I'm also switching back to Fedora KDE. Here's my ramblings about it all. KDE Linux is the hot new Linux distro from KDE themselves. At the moment it uses Arch Linux as it's base but with heavy modifications and changes. You can read more about it on the...
I had fun cosplaying at Matsucon and I went on stage too! At Matsucon this year I spent bunch of money on the artist alley, but I also had signed up for a "cosplay catwalk" which was very spooky but interesting. Photos But first some photos! Video of the catwalk thing I have no idea how Zola will work with video...
I'm fueled by my spite to write this incoherent rambling of a madman. This is highly related to my previous post, but I can't stop thinking about this so I'll make a new post. My blog anyways. Over the many past years I have just been rather tired of tech. It overrides our wants and needs to serve the corporate...
Reply to Don't Take the Black Pill - Andrew Kelley | SSW 2026 Such a nice, hopeful talk in this video. I've noticed I've gotten more and more and more jaded over time. The hypetech booms really do not help, and you know exactly which one I'm talking about at this point in time. But it touched much more things I've...
For context, I have gotten a lot of emails either asking why I deactivated my account or just sending me well wishes after the deactivation. This post is more for them than anyone else. If you don't care about random techbro website drama, feel free to skip. I had been tired of the site for a while. When I joined...
Just something I experience more and more these days. When it comes to reviewing code, the descriptions, commits and such can be massive blast of information: Full of extraneous details depicting what was changed. The main point is why was something changed. And often in only one huge commit with massive diffs. I'm...
Silly name but works wonders. I have been using this search engine called Uruky for about a week: https://uruky.com/ As a software dev, big part of my workflow is searching for information. As search engines in general keep getting worse and worse, it has became more difficult. However with Uruky I have managed to...
