I imagine the code is not the problem, but more of a philosophical one. I am on your side that this is sorely needed in KDE. But I’ve been seeing KDE devs shoot down this type of functionality for a decade now and the state of this MR looks like more of the same.

SSD: Server Side Decorations
CSD: Client Side Decorations
It’s how kwin fundamentally works. And why you can’t just have application specific buttons and widgets in kwin window decorations like how in Gnome you can.
The article I linked is from 2013. They’ve been discussing this for a long time.
KDE has always favoured SSD over CSD. So it kind of makes sense that LIM was rejected.

Aesthetically, I think CSD is the way to go. But functionally, I love KDE too much to use anything else.
I can’t believe it! 😱

Minor spoilers… but it was fun seeing how a contemporary to Kern uplifted a different species, and more deliberately. Which adds to the universe rather than just have it be… Kern is God kind of thing. And seeing a species that was more emotion based was pretty great too. Different types of intelligences… not to mention the completely alien Nodan species.
Children of Ruin was my favourite. The slight horror tones of some of the story really got me! And also… 🐙
Both great series. Revelation Space was my intro into hard sci-fi. What a freaking ride that story is.
Children of Time and its sequels are top notch, especially if you love animals and commentary on societal roles. It’s in my top Sci-Fi.
If you enjoyed Children of Time, definitely check out “A Memory Called Empire” by Arkady Martine. It’s a Sci-Fi political mystery with lots of fun word play. Aside from some really cool tech, the book really tackles what it means to be “Other” and how colonialism effects one’s idea of self. Some really cool ideas in this book. Easily my top Sci-Fi read this year.
Really hoping it happens this time 🙏
Good. Now get rid of FPTP.
This is amazing 😱
