This is a vent post. Feel free to ignore. I keep finding tech industry more and more dissapointing and annoying and harmful. Every year it gets more and more frustrating to read what new way of siphoning money and mental health has been invented. And we just allow it to happen. I should be surprised by articles like...

I added simple emotions here now, like many people have them in their blog. I have not yet styled them much, but here's some of them: Hi I'm smiling! lololol Told you so! oh what the fuck And so on. Should allow me to make some fun lil faces between paragraphs.

I made a simple todo2ical script that converts todo.txt file into an ical file. It's not much really. I just wanted some nice way to get notifications for my due tasks without separate apps. You can add the files it produces as read-only external calendars to your calendar thing. Here's link to the source code:...

Hey there, I have been reading about IndieWeb and found out about something called Webmentions. I am using Webmention.io for mine for now, I may in future host my own Webmention system, though I am rather lazy so IDK. I am still quite new at this, but I am interested in how it works. Feel free to webmention this...

Happy holidays everyone. Consider this as your holiday card from me. I will be taking short break from KDE stuff for now, though I will be around. (I tagged KDE so that readers of planet have to see these, mwahaha.) And happy new year 2026, let's hope it gets better from here.

For a while now, probably two years, I wanted to have support for high-contrast colorschemes in KDE Plasma. Technically, this was already doable, by just modifying your colorscheme to such colors. However one thing was lacking: Outlines were calculated automagically with hardcoded value. Well, no more! Now you can...

People have been a bit weirded by what happened during this period. People have been interested in this after the post by Jonathan Riddell was written. Here's what I remember from the situation. Order of events I get laid off from previous job in 2023-10-10. Nate Graham learns of this and invites me to join Blue...

Once again, all KDE nerds had their yearly gathering around somewhere in the world. We call this gathering Akademy and this year it was in Berlin. I don't really have anything in-depth to share, except for my first talk I had. I spent a lot of time listening to talks and chilling at BoFs. Since I was with my wife,...

One thing I always have wished that my reMarkable 2 had was web browser. It wouldn't need to be very efficient nor the best browser out there. Just something simple I can use to read definitions for words or other small knowledge when I'm reading articles I've sent to the device. Well, seems with some elbow grease...

There has been quite a surge in interest towards desktop Linux lately. The userbase, at least according to some metrics, seems to be climbing. I realised today that it's been 4 years for me since I did the switch. I have gathered some know-how that maybe a complete newbie could find useful. I also try to untangle...

This post is somewhat an update for my older post: Kate and Python language server There seems to be a lot of different Python language servers.. And I just want one that does all and stays out of the way. So after moaning about that I was pointed towards basedpyright on Fedi. Despite the silly name, it works really...

During all my time with KDE projects, I've never made an app from scratch.. Except now. Today my first KDE app ever, KomoDo, was released on Flathub! It's a simple todo application for todo.txt format and parses todo.txt files into a list of cards. One task is one card. The application has help sections for any of...
