I'm sorry to inform you that the Year of the Linux Desktop isn't going to happen anytime soon.

@kde just closed the merge request adding the most important feature: shortcut for opening LinkedIn. Because of that, the LinkedIn portal proposals will not happen as well.

This is unacceptable and goes against all the definitions and implications of the free software philosophy and spirit. Without that feature, I cannot use Linux anymore. I'm going back to Windows, as they are the only ones who care about user freedom.

If you were skeptical of Kringe Desktop Environment's takes against free software, then here's legitimate proof of them not caring about end user freedom. I will never forgive them for what they've done. We were supposed to simp for Microsoft!

@TheEvilSkeleton This is really disappointing :( KDE is trying to lock-in users into KinkedIn 😔

@TheEvilSkeleton
Amazing.

So at my workplace there are public computers with a login system which might make you throw up in your mouth a little

because in order for our IT department to provide fast logins using credentials stored in a SQL-like ILS database, they have all of the computers log into Windows accounts automatically, and within those Windows accounts is in-house software which hides desktop shortcuts, among other things, until credentials are given.

Keyboard shortcuts though 🤔

@TheEvilSkeleton @kde how dare the world of FOSS not embrace, and then extend and extinguish.
