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.

Great color scheme.

[–] stsquad@lemmy.ml 11 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] stsquad@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

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

It's transparent image lol it fitted dark theme of your client perfectly

[–] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 78 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Dang that's impressive

Or disappointing, Idk

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago

I clicked the link.

I was bamboozled.

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

[–] Stewbs@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago

Ah yes, the dark black void. Solid donations!

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 10 months ago

That's only PayPal though.

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

[–] pogodem0n@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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

[–] somedev@aussie.zone 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

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

I think the donation notification works

[–] oo1@lemmings.world 6 points 10 months ago

I hope the conclusion is that annual notifications work.

wikipedia is too much.

[–] Lemmchen@feddit.org 9 points 10 months ago

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

[–] azvasKvklenko@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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

[–] independantiste@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

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