Welcome to a new issue of "This Week in KDE Apps"! Every week we cover as much as possible of what's happening in the world of KDE apps.
Does that mean the new feature is off til the enduser enables it, or it it automatically turned on?
I really don’t think KDE having an official AI chat app is a good idea. Someone I mentioned this to immediately started talking about switching DEs over it, as an example of how bad this idea is… well, other than the ethical concerns around it which are the main issue - the environmental impact the massive power draw of LLM has, and the fact that they’re just automatic plagiarism machines.
Happy pride 
Agree 1,000,000,000,000%
The user needs to enable it.
I’m not a fan either, but anyone can incubate a new app as long as the meet the requirements. This isn’t something sponsored by the KDE or the e.V., but so far there isn’t an explicit rule disallowing it.
I’m curious why there are two AI chat apps 
. Are they planned to have different feature sets, or is this just a case of people preferring Qt Widgets vs Qt Quick?
I love the Pride KDE logo.
Would it be possible to buy that as a sticker?
It would be great to be able to put that on my laptop.
Pretty sure it’s the latter.
One of the things I like in these blogs is the news on progress for the applications, the news about Kig being ported over to Qt6/KF6 was interesting so I checked a build for it with kde-builder on Haiku, turns out I hit a small error for the build process that was promptly fixed upstream, kudos to the developers!
Not humorous in the least.
About “IA”, I feel like promoting applications that use power-hungry LLMs and other such technology that are used to ruin the web (or the fact that the companies producing this kind of technology are overloading Free Software infrastructures to produce it) is at least in contradiction with the KDE Eco initiative (among other technological, political and philosophical objections I can have about them).
Mostly, I’d say talking about these “IA apps” is a (weak) kind of endorsement, that I and others here are (at least slightly) uncomfortable with. So maybe it’s time KDE has a conversation about what’s its stance on IA.
KDE is showing it solidarity with marginalized people. LGBTQIA+ people are routinely discriminated against in employment, rejected by their family, and many such things. Pride logos a way to say that people want to end these kind of discrimination.
Because every day is a pride day for straight white privileged men? 
For myself and most LGBTQIA2S+ it’s about defiance of deliberately ignorant people who like to pretend it’s a lifestyle choice instead of the truth which is people are born the way they are. It never has been and never will be a so called lifestyle choice.
To me, Pride is about acceptance and celebration. I myself am straight, and nobody ever questions if that’s right or wrong. This is how it should be for everyone. Unfortunately that’s not how it is for everyone right now.
That’s what Pride is about. Support people by making clear that they won’t be judged, discriminated against or persecuted for merely being themselves. The world has much need for more kindness and less judgment.
Practical example:
Long time ago with my ex-boyfriend, I could not hold his hand in public without fear of being harassed or even attacked.
But nowadays with my wife, I can hold her hand and nobody cares.
Thats why pride still exists. The first scenario is still true.
It’s about celebrating love and allowing people who would get harassed to express their love.
I sincerely hope you do not have something against people being in love.
