From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm not sure why it rendered so poorly in Lemmy. It's a terrible colour scheme but at least I could make out the bars when I followed the link.

Because it uses transparent background, and you're likely using dark mode.

Ah that will be it. Still grey on transparent isn't super accessible.

Why is it a transparent image, it's hard to see specially in dark mode.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago

Ah yes, the dark black void. Solid donations!

That's only PayPal though.

Does anybody know why there was such a huge influx in December?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

KDE Plasma got a once-a-year notification that asks for donations a few months ago, which shows up in December.

They showed a once per year notification which reminds people they can donate.

I think the donation notification works

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

I hope the conclusion is that annual notifications work.

wikipedia is too much.

They had an end of year fundraiser for people to adopt an app: https://kde.org/fundraisers/yearend2024/

I saw that right after donating, right after restarting my laptop after long time and seing the notification. I saw the chart and was like “dang, there was more poeple like me, also xmass time or smh” xD

I wish gnome would do the same and show a notification in December as well
