WTF @kde? Who translated the name of the months in Persian calendar?! They're correct in English, but 6 out of 12 of them are wrong in Persian!

Right. Please get in touch with the

We would also like to remind everybody that KDE is a joint community effort carried out by volunteers.

We are not a company and put up no barriers between "software creators and providers" and "software users".

If you see anything you think you can help correct, join us...

Usage of Plasma 6’s Global Themes May Pose Serious Risks
https://linuxiac.com/usage-of-plasma-6-global-themes-may-pose-serious-risks/

#kde #plasma6

@linuxiac

Or a more accurate headline would be: "Themes developed for Plasma 6...".

These are not themes put out by the Plasma project as you are implying. They are not even created by Plasma developers, or even remotely recommended by KDE.

These are themes developed by third parties and users install and run them at their own risk.

WARNING: Global themes and widgets created by 3rd party developers for Plasma can and will run arbitrary code. You are encouraged to exercise extreme caution when using these products.

A user has had a bad experience installing a global theme on Plasma and lost personal data.

https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1bixmbx/do_not_install_global_themes_some_wipe_out_all/

Global themes change the look of Plasma, but also the behavior. To do this they run code, and this code can be faulty, as in the case mentioned above. The same goes for widgets and plasmoids.

We are calling on the community to help us locate and quarantine defective software by using the "Report" buttons available on each item in the KDE Store.

https://store.kde.org

Please see the attached image to locate them.

kde,
@kde@floss.social avatar

Meanwhile, KDE is taking measures to properly warn users before each download and we are also putting in place ways of auditing and curating what is uploaded to the KDE store.

https://blog.davidedmundson.co.uk/blog/kde-store-content/

Nevertheless, this will take time and resources. We recommend all users to be careful when installing and running software not provided directly by KDE or your distros.

And remember to report any faulty products you find!

@ADisorderlyFashion @Bro666 @whimsy

There is a warning in the install dialog of every single installable 3rd party component.

We are working on making the wording stronger, changing the color of the warning and make it more visible, but the warning has always been there.

kde,
@kde@floss.social avatar

@Pantherina @Bro666

That is regular themes.

Global themes also modify the desktop's behavior and hence contain code to do that.
