KDE Accessibility Engineer (working with KDE e.V.) Blind game developer and a very ritchie ritchie <3 Views are my own. This account cross-posts from Mastodon, but sometimes I check it.

a very glowy berry
A mostly-coherent KWin commit message, except for the mangled text "including myself."

no firefox I don't want to split my view
An extremely clunky-looking dropdown menu. Three items. Item 1: Zoom. Current setting is 69420%. Item 2: Invert. Toggle is currently off. Item 3: Screen Reader. Toggle is also off. None of the elementsd are vertically aligned whatsoever. Author is a devout programmer.
Big-ass button in my game engine's editor UI
Me running Plasma 6.7 on Fedora, compiled from source, on my own branch of KWin, with some settings that haven't been merged yet, with Infected Mushroom playing. This is the life.
error: writeAltText: qml my life
KDE Plasma System Settings screenshot. User is searching "access". The Accessibility settings page is selected. An error occurred while loading the settings screen. Possible reason for the bug: Ritchie.
Screenshot of SMART Notebook from 2009 running on KDE Plasma 6, in 2026, under Wine. Text, in bold Comic Sans, reads: "It fucking boots" "And it fucking runs"
12V barrel plug plugged into the hole of a powerdrill as if it were a drillbit.
Contents of a file called "bootstrapped" in the "/data/gitlab" directory on a recently-migrated server. File contents read "All your bootstraps are belong to Chef" Who the fuck is Chef?
a very strange build error
Screenshot of me testing Matrix DMs in NeoChat
Screenshot of a Cities Skylines landfill zone, emptied and ready for destruction.
Screenshot of the KDE logo as seen on their Mastodon
Screenshot of a development build of KDE Plasma 6.7 with a new "Enable text/icon scaling" checkbox in the Accessibility Zoom settings. Fonts, although awkwardly shaped due to the small font size, are no longer blurry thanks to a smarter upscaler. That I wrote.
Screenshot of my Minecraft character's list of active potion effects. Nausea, speed and poison.
shitty text rendering + desktop zoom
Screenshot of my shell
Screenshot of me testing my KWin zoom upscaling feature based on xBRZ.
new form of completely automated public turing test to tell sighted and blind apart
Windows error message, obscured by the FL Studio splash screen. Because always-on-top splash screens are a brilliant idea.
giant pointer cursor on a 4K display
screenshot of spaghetti as rendered by qpwgraph
Screenshot without sub-pixel rendering. The text is blurry, but there is no color fringing.
Screenshot of the white void of a Jaiden Animations video, on which a YouTube context menu with a just-too-translucent background is displayed.
Plasma Shell dialog box reporting that KWin has stopped responding and needs to be restarted.
giant ball of KDE Plasma
game engine editor showing a very evil looking red sky
Clementine music player running in a Ubuntu 24.04 distrobox, compiled from source. The UI looks like an older KDE application, uses Qt 5, and the most important part, it actually ran.
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas screenshot. Player is standing on a road. Two L.S.P.D police cruisers are visible on screen, forming a road block. The cars are empty. Clearly, it's the LSPD ghost unit.
Draft of an article. Placeholder publish date of April 20th, 6996. Parse error isn't visible in this screenshot.
Input field in my editor's Code Completions settings. "Additional characters to accept completions with." Currently empty, and would rely on hacking on config files, but could theoretically be set to backspace or delete if I tried hard enough
dialog box telling me about "Autopilot" now being turned on. AI slop. Gah!
Creamy Garlic Sauce Dip with a Hint of Migraines and Slight Tinge of WCAG Contrast Violation

KDE Wayland Hell Compositor
GitLab notification on a Discord server. It reads: "Ritchie Frodomar pushed to branch master of Universe."
playstation orbable
Screenshot of the player controls in a YouTube fullscreen player, playing a video with bright colors behind the contrrols. The controls and text are hard for me to see because the darkening overlay behind them doesn't do its job well enough.
Screenshot of my game engine's color picker. A KDE dialog box is shown. On the left side of the window is an 8x6 grid of randomly assorted colors. The right side of the window, from top to bottomn, has a text entry field for entering HTML color codes. Below that is several sliders for red, green, blue, alpha, hue, saturation and brightness. Each slider has a preview gradient. The current color is a somewhat eye-piercing violet. Or is it indigo? No fucking clue.
Screenshot of a settings page inside "Ritchie's Toolbox," an in-development game engine. The settings page has the title "Project information." Three input fields are displayed, "Project name," "Developer," and "Enable bugs." The "Enable bugs" field is a switch in the off position.
(DON'T) Code with Copilot Agent Mode
AccessKit segfaulting my game engine at startup because I can't figure out how to create an empty root node....?
Google trying to spy on me because I went to learn OpenGL.
The triangle of Ritchie. Don't question it.
