Malicious KDE theme can wipe out all your data in c/kde@lemmy.kde.social

@Pantherina @Bro666

That is regular themes.

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

To make more things like this happen, to help those that the IT industry left behind or consider mere fodder for the data-grinding machine, to return control over technology to the common people, and protect the environment, we need your help.

Become a supporter. Help us reach the landmark number of 1000 supporters before the launch of #Plasma6.

So we also managed to avoid having all those machines ending up in landfills, polluting the soil and waterways because providers of proprietary OSes only want you to buy new stuff and ignore the impact on the environment.

KDE provided the software that allowed to recover machines that had been obsoleted by the successive updates from Microsoft Windows, and this made possible for the CACD to carry out the program.

We provided support and advice so that the teens could familiarise themselves with open source software, saving them from being trapped in the proprietary cycle of buy new hardware, update, be forced to buy new hardware, update, rinse and repeat.
