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: plasma-desktop: Refactor icon positioner saving and loading The existing code...

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 this language called Odin, which is one of these "Better C" languages. And I...

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 Jenny! She is great with camera. <3 The lizard suit (head, feet, hands and tail) were...

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 my first time in Germany, which is the furthest I've ever been from home. I...

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 output, such as a 3D file or text document, ship a thumbnailer file that tells...

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 things I didn't want to share. Why OrgMode? I actually prefer markdown much more....

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 when it comes to very social projects, like let's say, Linux desktop environments....

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 ones can find my merge requests, but I am too lazy to link them all. Things I did...

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 open up this topic a bit, but if you want more technical in-depth look into...

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 era. I do agree. There are potential good in the tooling, but something else came...

Seems getting laid off was pretty good for me after all. Funny how things go sometimes. A company that works on KDE stuff (and other Linuxy things), interviewed me for a fun job: "Wanna help us work on KDE Plasma?" You bet I said YES! So now I work daily 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, to improve KDE Plasma! It's...

Hello, today I got laid off from my current workplace. I used to be a test automation engineer but I also worked on Windows application with C#. So, I am looking for new programming and development job! I am very interested and passionate about Linux, and I am quite good in test automation. I have been test...
