Due to some intense peer pressure (and procrastination of more important tasks), I resuscitated one of my masterpiece: the KNOME website, the perfect fusion of @gnome and @kde

You can now enjoy it again at knome.carlschwan.eu/

For the context, this was a nice collaboration between GNOME and KDE for the April joke in 2020 :) medium.com/linux-plus-plus/the

It's now using Hugo because I couldn't get Jekyll to work again and figured out it was faster to just port it. Also this is on a new server because my old burnt years ago reuters.com/article/us-france- and the original domain expired.

Linux++ · The Best of Both Worlds: KNOME - Linux++ - MediumBy Eric Londo

@carlschwan
Hugo being good at internationalization, would you like me to make your joke multilingual?

@jibec sure, I just need to not hardcose the strings in the template anymore but this is easy to do.

@carlschwan
I'm not sure, let me see the code, I'll tell you

@gnome @carlschwan @kde Just to let you know, the page has a meta tag with name=description, and content="The most popular HTML, CSS, and JS library in the world." So here, the URL preview that I get shows that as the description of the page. Which I assume isn't supposed to be part of the joke, though I suppose it would be interesting if the result of KDE and GNOME merging was an HTML/CSS/JS library.

@carlschwan @gnome @kde hi, Carl, this reminded me so much to Pasi Lallinaho, Xubuntu developer, who had KNOME as nickname as well as domain name. This is amusing, thank you.

@carlschwan @gnome @kde Nonononononono. No. Just no. Please God no.

@carlschwan @gnome @kde I'm not gonna lie, this was one of those April fool's jokes where it didn't register in my head that it was April fool's day, and I thought this was legit. (at least the part about them making a joint DE) Literally didn't know until a few months ago when I thought "I wonder if they're still working on that" 😂

@carlschwan @gnome @kde
I downloaded it and LOVED it!

SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT! XD
