Example of a KDE dev not wanting environmental concerns to play any role, despite KDE having an environmental project:
Devs rejecting any notion of transparency by disclosing AI usage in code submissions (in direct opposition to advice from the FSFE):
And all of this is coming right after the debacle with an AI slop project being allowed to give a presentation at Akademy, and the person asking how this was allowed being blocked by KDE:

as well as the discussion thread bringing up legitimate concerns about AI usage being closed:

As someone who genuinely loves KDE, and has even donated to the project multiple times, I sadly have to accept that the majority of KDE have hopped onto the Pro-AI train, and they will not be dissuaded otherwise.
Oof, I didn’t remember that one existed, and has even better extendability than KDE (and tabbing support, which I love), but yeah, there are some problems as that one.
I think I’ll try to support them in any way I can, and to contribute with anything I can.
I know about programming and computer sciences (I’m studying that), although I don’t know anything about actual coding, and I have some big-ish amount of architectural ideas (although I don’t know how good these are).
I’m also a music producer and sound designer.
I hope I can make at least a bit of difference.
