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.

Hey all, just a simple blog post this time, I just wanted to showcase the colorscheme I have made for KDE Plasma and various text editors and such. Download I have been working on this colorscheme for many months now, slowly tweaking it...
As someone who has been doing test automation for past ~3,5 years (and desperately wanting out towards doing just development), I have done a lot of bug reports. Then I switched to Linux based OS and that amount has doubled. :D I have...
No, not april fools. Hacker News is one of those websites where the commenters are often very angry people. Note, I said commenters not lurkers/passive browsers/link clickers. Anyone who uses Hacker News just as a website to find links...
Quick post for this time. Seems my game, Penance has been uploaded on Steam by someone who I don't know, completely without my permission. They're selling my free game and of course I'm not gonna get any money from their sales. If you...
This is kind of open letter I suppose. I've seen a lot of similar stuff happen in other projects too, like GNOME. So I wanted to write down what happened to me and my inbox today. It's written in my perspective, but I'm sure many can...
I just wanted to write this down since I've been talking a bit about podcasts on fediverse. I listen a lot of podcasts when gaming, it's kind of a way how I relax. Nothing like good multiplayer FPS where I can turn off my brains, then I...
Rant incoming. This isn't written that well but idgaf. I just need to get this out of my system. I really enjoy chatting in FOSS communities. KDE, Linux in general, other desktop environments, so on and so forth. What I don't like is...
As I've gotten more into FOSS, I've noticed a lot of FOSS projects, like KDE, use Matrix protocol. A protocol that lets you use any client you wish to chat with each other. Basically, it's IRC but with more features. And I'm into that!...
Rotate what now? Aks, what are you talking about? I wanted to write down how I made the enemy characters in Artificial Rage rotate towards the player, since I couldn't find a simple answer. Most things I found was math. Now math is fun...
Window outlines! Yet another KDE contribution by yours truly! This was fun. Not easy at all, but fun. I'm pretty happy how they turned out. Breeze Dark Breeze Light I hope Nate you don't mind me taking the screenshots from your blog...
I have really enjoyed using my PineTime as a watch, so I really wanted to make my own watchface. I based it around the colors of my KDE Plasma theme. Here's what it looks like: Link to Codeberg repository And next I'm gonna ramble how I...
Hey, just a quick post, I uploaded some themes I've made for Aurorae and Plasma to KDE store. They're simple themes that follow your colorscheme but are made for dark color schemes. The accent themes follow your accent color for the...
This was my biggest contribution so far! And it was a bit more involved than I expected, so I wanted to write down what I learned. Here's a screenshot: I added the settings there that are in the red box. I also added the Paper size...
I decided it was time to dust off my Arduino starter kit I got like.. over 5 years ago? I had also bought a tiny AM2301 temperature and humidity meter, so why not combine that and the LCD display that came with the starter kit. No idea...
Just a super short post this time! I'm testing this analytics tool called GoatCounter. I just added it to this site and if you don't want to be tracked, you can use Ublock Origin to block it, or just disable Javascript. My blog should...
