@ProtonBadger @SubArcticTundra technically windows hasn't had much of it's ui ideas change since 95 (8, 8.1 and 11 were major departures and part of the reason their so disliked).

I would say it's probably more kde copying aspects from windows then sorta going their own path with those ideas.

Visual style that was started with breeze and 10 is debatable, graphic design wise 10 was just a simplified 8 reflecting design trends of the time while Breeze was a massive departure from sqeumorphicism

@shved @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social is opt-in, not opt-out.

No telemetry gets collected unless you explicitly give permission (and they don't nag or try to trick you into giving it). Overall, KDE is incredibly good for privacy

@Communist Also have strong creative common licenses as the "default" (with a configurable option for admins to change the default to best fit the role of the instance), to encourage people to release them as Free (as in libre) cultural media

@Communist @HiddenLayer5 I feel like we should establish license related metadata to activitypub posts, so a photo can be tagged with creative commons or whatever. The problem that the average person doesn't have the financial or legal strength against larger groups
