@janamarie That first photo of the sky through the big holes in some ceiling like thing is <chef’s kiss>. It would have been a strong image regardless, but the IR shift adds that extra zing.

@janamarie love that first one with the holes

@janamarie much rather see this than the constant musk AI politics war stuff trending is constantly showing. Great shots!!

@janamarie@mystical.garden How do you do these gorgeous shots?

@janamarie
These are so beautiful. Now I want candy trees in real life (probably not good for my health though haha)

@janamarie
I'll get tired of these infrared photos when I'm good and ready to get tired of them, thank you very much.

@janamarie@mystical.garden Is this basically just taking a picture with a visible range being lower-frequency than human eyesight, and then raising the frequencies into the visible range?

@janamarie i fucking love IR photos of nature

@janamarie I really love the look of overgrown gravel/dirt paths. Just the bright saturated pink sprouting from a black Abyss.

@janamarie these photos are so magical. Every single one of them is wonderful 😲✨

@janamarie it took me 10 seconds looking at the first picture to realize these are not concrete disk shaped space ships floating through space

@janamarie amazing how reflective those leaves are to infrared

@janamarie Exceptional!

@janamarie the one through holes in the concrete is insane :D

@janamarie damn that first one is *pretty* :O
You don't happen to sell prints, do you?

@janamarie Your IR pics are so beautiful but just in general you have such a great eye for architecture and landscape photography! Very inspiring :)

@janamarie Thiz excellent magic!

@kde

Love it! Welcome to the fold Kori, and congrats on the 30 years KDE! 💙

@kde what are you implying with #egg hmmm 😸

@kde Yay!

@kde Who are their parents? Konqi and Katie?

@kde Looks beautiful

@kde soooo cute!

@kde Cute!

@kde things like that wants me to use windows again. They never do that kind of stuff.

@kde based, also love the multiple implications of cracking the egg as celebration of a enby/queer mascott dragon on pride month. 10/10

@kde with this simple chess move you're both making a lot of nice people very happy and a lot of assholes very angry

@kde being enby contributor i feel very warm fuzzies right now

@kde
FμCK LGBT COMMUNITY 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

@kde what a lovely idea 👏

@kde must give headpats!!!!

@kde honestly, after seeing katie rock that orange outfit, I was wondering if she was non-binary

@kde welcome Kori Taylor, new lead singer of SlipKDEnot

@kde if I was sitting on a chair as I saw this, it wouldve made me fall outta my chair

@kde Non-binary? So you have to compile them from source?

@kde they were born with clothes on?

@kde
This cat says hi and thank you to kde!

@kde based based based based based

@kde

and where is the 3D print file? 🙏

@kde Couldn't have picked a better time to announce this. It's relieving seeing an organisation not just refuse to shy away from Pride but embrace it in the midst of the chaos a lot of us are going through. I suspect you mean it with the pride decor, because while many companies and organisations are opting not to even reskin their logo for exactly 30 days, you're unveiling a new mascot who is canonically non-binary.

@kde gross. Trans people are pedophiles.

@kde hell yeah

@kde Finally, an open source alternative to Digimon

@kde OMG, is this real?

It's VERY AWESOME!!!

@kde aaaaaaaaaa I love them

@kde They're so cute. It's awesome to see that KDE has a new mascot.

@kde Holy crap, the mascot art is insane. I didn't knew your game lmao

@kde This is top ten Fedi posts for me. Its lovely to see some kindness.

@kde I love the idea of planting 30 trees and encouraging others to do something similar! I'll have to think if there is something I can do this month to do my part ;)

@kde
she is kinda cute

@kde Hey Kori 🥰

@kde Beautiful art as always from the KDE community!

For some reason I love the "#egg". Apparently it's controversial for some friends but I think it's just silly. Eggs are funny shaped 🥚🥚🥚

@rysiek Anything related to edtech standards (looking at you, LTI)

(And yeah, I know not directly an answer to your question, but I am apparently incapable of resisting an easy dunk on the shitty standards that power edtech)

@rysiek you could try "Rube Goldberg contraption" for North American audiences.

In DK and NO at least, "Storm P-apparat" is the local language term, I'm sure there are other regional variants that would apply

@rysiek „Enterprise“

@rysiek the human CNS

@rysiek Inspector Gadget 😹

@rysiek "BMW Motorrad".

@rysiek
The marketing term is "ai", but more specifically it's Large Language Model.

@rysiek @catsalad There’s ALWAYS a German word for it.

@rysiek In my experience the general term for this is ‘bloat’

@rysiek Generative AI - aka LLMs. 😆

@rysiek Excel

@rysiek as another said EnterpriseTM was pretty commonly used for that, especially in the 00s, though I've not seen it crop up as much these days

@rysiek inferior - if it ain't broke, don't fix it

@rysiek Enshitification

@rysiek Like this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-system_effect

@rysiek
Upshittification?

@rysiek engineered to death

@rysiek either 'Enterprise Grade' or 'military grade'.

@rysiek railway engineers call that "HS2"

@rysiek slop?

@rysiek Yiddish has "farpotshket": broken, because someone tried to fix it

@rysiek the polite word for it is over-engineered

@rysiek “Enterprise-grade”

@rysiek I think the term is "enterprise"

@rysiek it’s called bankofirelandbankingappforiphone

@rysiek Adobe.

@rysiek A Tesla door handle

@rysiek See this blogger has written some thing new
https://vertextechjournal.blogspot.com/2026/06/NVIDIA%20and%20Microsoft%20%20Windows%20PCs.html

@rysiek the Internet

@rysiek Internet-connected.

@rysiek we used to call them "B-52s," which is actually kinda unfair to B-52 bombers. But when what you need is a paper clip, a B-52 sucks.

@rysiek

“Over‑optimization failure”
A system tuned so aggressively that it collapses under its own cleverness.
From ML, compilers, and distributed systems.

“Pathological complexity”
from systems engineering: complexity that no longer increases capability, only fragility.

“Counterproductive sophistication”
polite academic way of saying “you made it fancy and now it sucks.”

“Gold‑plating”
Project‑management term for adding unnecessary features that degrade maintainability and reliability.

@rysiek
“Kluge” (or “kludge”)
A classic engineering insult:

a system that technically works but is held together by hacks, duct tape, and prayer.

This is usually under‑engineered, but it can apply to over‑engineered monstrosities too.

“Design decadence”
A term used in architecture and software criticism: complexity for its own sake, not for function.

@rysiek over-engineered *is* the term for that lmao

@rysiek A Rube Goldberg machine.

@rysiek

It's called React.

@rysiek entshitification? 🤔

@rysiek Windows 11?

@rysiek an abstraction layer

@rysiek ‘Windows’

@rysiek The Kia app.

@rysiek "that's 6 problems in a trenchcoat maskerading as a solution"

(can't remember who this delightful formulation originally came from, sorry :/)
