Interestingly related: when KDE devs complained to Microsoft that, due to the fact that name of their new product and similarity in functionality to KDE's own Maui project

they were causing confusion and potentially violating KDE's trademark, in the Microsoft forums KDE was told to sue them or f**k off.

They were also notified and they again ignored the notification.
@Bro666 @01adrianrdgz @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social holy, didn't know that. That's straight up evil.
