Hi, I'm Aks (Akseli Lahtinen) from Finland! I'm KDE dev by day and a hobbyist gamedev/FOSS-dev by night. I like metal, industrial and EBM music, and I love FPS, RPG and spacesim games. I also love tinkering with Linux systems.

I made a change to the KURLNavBar according to old mockup, since we hoped it would be easier to use. This was a bad idea and made many people angry, at least on Reddit. Seems to be a recurring theme with my visual changes, though this...
I spent past three weeks working on refactoring and fixing legacy code (the oldest of which was from 2013) that handled positioning Plasma desktop icons, and how this data was saved and loaded. Here's the merge request if you're curious:...
Some months ago, I got really fed up with C. Like, I don't hate C. Hating programming languages is silly. But it was way too much effort to do simple things like lists/hashmaps and other simple data structures and such. I decided to try...
Some cosplay images from various events. I mostly dress up as my own character, Huntra, who I have to make a game of someday:tm:. If I happen to do more this year I will update the galleries. Photos were taken and edited by my wife...
Akademy is this yearly thing where bunch of KDE people go to talk about and work on KDE software. I had never been in one before, but this year I managed to make it there! This year Akademy was held at the city of Würzburg. This was also...
The KIO Framework has gained support for de-facto standard, cross-desktop thumbnail generators. This means that we have a support for thumbnails from 3rd party applications! On Linux systems, many applications that produce some kind of...
I have a very.. unusual notetaking and task setup with Kate, using Orgmode files. I wanted to showcase it and explain how it works, maybe someone else has similar needs. Here's a small screenshot of my journal notes, I blurred out some...
Or FOFAFOSS. Rolls right off your tongue. Like in many families, there's always a bit of.. turmoil and drama in FOSS. Something breaks (either on purpose or by accident), people get frustrated.. The usual. It is kind of to be expected...
