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.

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...
I'm bit late to the train of Plasma 6 related posts... But anyway. I will go through some things I did. For me working on Plasma 6 was pretty fun, I learned a lot of new things and fixed bunch of bugs and crashes. The most resourceful...
When running Linux software and encountering a crash, and you make a bug report about it (thank you!), you may be asked for backtraces and debug symbols. And if you're not developer you may wonder what in the heck are those? I wanted to...
I was listening Late Night Linux podcast episode 264 and they were chatting about AI, as usual. This post was inspired by the discussion, but not really related to it. In podcast it was mentioned that current AI is like T-Ford of our...

Sorry KDE Planet readers, this is just rambly non-techy post. Burning out is no joke. I have gone through 3 or 4 major burnouts in my life. All of them related to programming, in a way or another. Basically my burnout starts when I can't...
I had the hankering for tinkering the KDE application style. The default style by KDE, Breeze, is pretty nice as is, but there are small things I'd like to modify. There's Klassy which is quite customizable and fun, but I don't really...

Preface: What is trust to me? To make it clear what trust means to me: Can I trust my privacy, no matter how miniscule part of information you want, in your hands? (my PTSD plays heavily in this lol) Can I trust your software or whatever...
It's common to dislike ads. They're annoying for many. I recommend anyone to use an adblocker whenever they can. Despite ads being annoying, they're also bad for your privacy. Blocking them helps avoiding annoyance and keeping your...
After ten years of dating, me and tecsiederp got finally married. Our wedding ceremony was very nice and reflected us well. No priests or churches, just us and our family and friends. Fun were had, went to sauna, saw cute ducklings,...
I actually like writing code. That's really it. If I didn't, I still wouldn't use it due to the ethical/copyright issues, but I don't even have to think that far: I just like writing code. Why would I give something I like to a robot? I...
Hindsight preface: This was written in very tired state. I have been chatting about this with people who know more than I ever will about Flatpak. Soo I have added few edits here and there. If I seem frustrated, most of my frustration is...
