Mosfet Contributes Code to KDE (Again)

Many in the KDE community are aware of some rocky history between
KDE hacker Mosfet and other KDE developers.
Fortunately, it looks like things have taken a great turn for the better:
Mosfet wrote in to tell us that "I've decided to donate 20 effects I ported to KDE/Qt
for PixiePlus to KDE3
".
Waldo Bastian promptly
added them to CVS.
The new effects include normalize, equalize, solarize,
threshold, emboss, despeckle, charcoal, rotate, sample, addNoise, blur,
edge, implode, oil paint, sharpen, spread, shade, swirl, wave, and
contrastHSV. All will be available under a
BSD-type license in the
KImageEffect
class
in
kdelibs.
According to Mosfet, these effects will be useful not only for image viewers
and editors, but also for things like style engines.
Except for the simple rotate, Mosfet ported the effects from
ImageMagick to work directly on
QImages and
Qt scanlines. Nice job, Mosfet!
(For those who have not yet heard the news, PixiePlus is the successor
to Pixie; more information is available
here.)

Thanks for the response, anonymous editor ;)

I still feel the article was a bit thin, and in the past, it seems this type of news would have been a quickie rather than a whole story. I'll lean to your judgement here since after all, you're the editor and I'm not.

In any case, quickie or not, I think it should have been posted without the soap opera twist (e.g. headline reads 'ImageMagik effect code ported to KDE by Mosfet' & kill the lead-in, rather than the current headline & lead-in which *clearly* emphasizes Mosfet's on-off relationship with KDE rather than his actual contribution). Throw the mention about his 'rocky history' at the end if you absolutely must (though I personally would leave it out).

Whether or not there are individuals who feel slighted, I don't know, I'm only bringing it up as a possibility. I feel in this case you may be wielding your editorial power to the detriment of the community, because I'm fairly certain there are more than a few important KDE contributors who aren't happy with Mosfet because of his games. You're doing them a disservice by encouraging him.

This is a fine line that I think you as editors have been walking for a while, it's really too bad Mosfet has put volunteer editors in this position. Then again, it's really too bad what Mosfet has done in the past to many of the other KDE volunteers and the reputation of KDE as a whole. Anyway. The dot has been walking down one side of the line for quite some time now, posting his news because it's news. Maybe it's time to walk down the other: don't post the news because quite frankly he doesn't need any more encouragement, or at least post his news more objectively.

Mosfet's contributions may be worthy news - his attention-grabbing games are not. And then in my very biased opinion, his games make his contributions much less worthy of publicity. I personally would drop his articles on the floor until he demonstrated that he can contribute without all the childish noise, out of respect for the countless other KDE volunteers.

Why the need for anonymity?

So I submitted a story yesterday, but it seems it was dropped. :-(

Actually, we have been in contact with Ivan, and since we just heard from him, we will probably make this one a quickie soon.

Why don't you hail all the people (hundreds or thousands) that do actual day to day work on KDE that don't have little fits and go home. Oh goody, so now we will have even more half done broken code by Mosfet in CVS... Maybe if we're lucky he'll commit something ten minutes before kde3 is released and break it.

by anonymous (not verified)

If I remember correctly, Mosfet's CVS account was disabled. And he didn't commit this changed himself.

While most of the comments have been quite positive, it's obvious a few people are jealous of the attention I get. News about me and what I'm doing does get carried a lot, and there is a reason for that. I write graphics code, and people have a lot of interest in that. If people didn't care about what I was doing or writing, no one would carry news about it. I could do whatever I want and people simply wouldn't care. But they do, and I thank the people who have kept track of me and lent their support.

This is certainly a worthy story. Even not considering I am a fairly visible Linux/Unix developer, the addition of 20 effects to KDE3 would be considered a good story anyways. People are always interested in new graphics stuff, and are always asking about what's going to be new in KDE3. This is good news for both programs that deal with images and widget styles, always a subject people are interested in. Add to the fact that my departure from the KDE team was widely covered and that this is an initial gesture of goodwill on my part and what I hope will be a better relationship - that's even more good news!

People complaining about posting this story are totally unjustified and I can't help thinking are full of "sour grapes". They don't think anything I do should be covered, no matter how good or cool it is. This is obvious from people like the above saying it's bad to publicize anything about me. Nevermind that it adds cool stuff for KDE and is done in the spirit of cooperation.

There is a simple solution for these people. If you don't like news about me don't read it. And be ready to not read a lot of news because I am back and working on a lot of interesting new things! ;-) If you feel some other developments should be covered, then submit those! But don't be jealous if people are interested in what I'm doing as well.

by Graham (not verified)

Don't let them get you down! I agree, they are just being sour, and as someone above said, stories get on this page when they are interesting enough and they are submitted!

Anyway, now it is on Slashdot, so it obviously is of interest to enough people!

jelous people tend to have very insecure minds and are secretly unhappy. i think whats even more worrying is not only can they admit the truth to others, but they cant admit the truth to themselfs. they hate people who find success in their life because they feel they have to compare themselfes to that person. many of my friends hate skinny people, but deep down want to look like this. they may also be really defensive in a situation and can go to the extreme of making others their poccessions. i hope if there is anyone insecure who reads this message knows that knowone hates them , but would like to help.
admitting your in the wrong can be the hardest thing to do, but it can save you from being insecure about everything. if you confront your fears then people will notice this and be happy that you have secured the inner you.

by SLY (not verified)

your so true about what you write are you a extra jealous
person just kidding hahaaha thanks for the words it's so
true and thanks for letting them know about there jealous

P.S. I got a question what if you don't have nothing and
they still act like that peace god bless sly

by kon (not verified)

Yes, i definently agree with you are saying.It is so hard sometimes dealling with jealous people.They can get very rude sometimes and they can even embrarass you in situations....
Let me know how you deal with them please.

by S Lane (not verified)

You sound like one of them trying to get insight into how people think in order to...

by Michael D. Robinson (not verified)

I'm definitely one of those people, who doesn't have much! I live in my mom and dad's home, at fourty-three, and still there are people, who hate the fact, that I could possibly achieve something. And some of the people, of whom I speak, are in my family. I don't understand it, but that's the way it is. If they think, for a minute, that I could get somewhere, there's a problem. And it has always been that way. They can excell, but nobody else can. And eventhough I try to ignore it, it gets to me. My health, has always been poor, which is why I'm in my current situation. But regardless, I refuse to be beaten. I do everything I can, to make things better, for myself. And again, they don't like it. So all I can say, is you're not alone. You don't have to have much, for people to hate you. It's sad, but true! We live in a sick World, with a lot of people, who have nothing better to do, than tear others down. So when you find yourself, in this situation, no that you're worthy, no matter what!

by Brother in life (not verified)

Good point bro. It's tough because if people see a weaker animal rising up they feel their well being is in danger. Cause if a weaker animal is stonger they must be incredibly weak. It's sick but that's the way of animals which is what those people are, animals. They are the weakest of the human race. A human should triumph others abilities and co exist with them. If they consider themselves sophisticated well mannered people then they would get off all fours. Keep living brother. One day they'll be begging you for a chance to taste the fruit you've made. Live on.

by Sasha (not verified)

I have experienced jealousies in the worst ways. My own brother threatened to take my life and best friends tried to sabotage my personality in order to feel more important. It took me a long time to understand 'the lesson' for me which originated in my family and that was to see why I reacted so badly to jealousies. I agree people who have to respond to others from those feelings are weak within themselves. They attack because they see something in your 'self' that they can't meet. It is basically a primitive emotion - but after many years of struggling with that and constantly attracting those people I finally realised why I struggle with them. "The lesson for me has been in 'my responses' albeit anger, because of my family experiences. This is the spiritual approach, but Ihope that by learning from the lesson in application to yourself, you might be able to change the ennergies that keep us trapped from moving forward. Jelous people will always be around - to be more evolved, or stand on two feet, you have to learn strategies to keep yourself distant. Inside and outside... hope this helps
Move forward humans!

It could be that your best friends where trying to control you, that's why they tried to damage your personality, if the personality of people is healthy (with self esteem, lack of neurosis, social skills, assertiveness, making your own luck, persistable, being honest, responsible and dependable etc) people can do a lot.

by visitor (not verified)

I would like to add a nit more. They wanted to control you out of fear of losing you or you taking opportunities that they could win (e.g. girls you both know or jobs) or ultimately fearing that you will become powerful and rich (then, they would feel worse with their selves because they would compare themselves to you). If you think about it there are many reasons people would want to harm you or stop you really.

by S Lane (not verified)

Very deep. I like what you say. It's like the alpha and when the alpha realizes it is no longer the alpha.

I will pray for you Michael. I will ask the Lord God and Jesus Christ to improve your life. I understand what you are going through because I have had my own struggles with jealousy, whether someone was jealousy of me or I was jealous of them. I have actually considered suicide many times, but something stops me from doing it. It is very difficult to maintain happiness when others hate you, and yes this is a sick world with tons of losers, do not worry, in the bible it says that GOD will repay. The Lord is extremely loving, but punishments are also part of GOD's discipline and uncomfortable situations will arise in anyone's life who tries to bring other people down. The lord knows everything about everyone(forgive my ignorance if you already know this) and the bad people on this planet will slip somewhere along the timeline. You can count on it. In case you ever feel jealous of someone else, do the best you can to move on, it certainly takes a greater person to not stay preoccupied with jealousy because that can improve your character and heart. Furthermore, what goes around comes around, I have seen it happen to people because those that brought misery to my life were punished, and then I kept succeeding over and over again and my happiness made them feel miserable, and the entire time I knew God was helping me, what an awesome feeling it is to know that jealous people who are being defeated cannot do anything about the situation when God is pushing me forward, I really enjoy them slipping through the cracks when I see it. Last but not least, do not give in, even if someone tries to murder you in a hate crime, if someone kills you then he/she will suffer in hell.

Jon you are very wise. But you also strike me as nieve you have never really known a drug dealer or addict have you? You do not understand what happens to some people you say are going to hell. They are not evil but are lost there is no helping them they have to help themselves. This is where people like you and me run into a problem because we see this and want to help them but there is no helping them and if you try they will hurt you. Just continue on your way and leave them behind and hope that they find their path some day. Have you ever heard the saying only the good die young? Many of these people will take many years to finally find salvation.

Hello, I live in a bad neighborhood, and the people in the area are so jealous of me because I'm a positive person, and I have positive friends. I'm in college, I made 2 B's and a A. I just had my baby on June 25th and the whole time I was pregnant they nitpicked at me by driving by rolling their eyes at me, giving my friends mean looks that came over, and all my friends and family suggest that I move, but I've been living here because I don't have to pay rent because it's based on income, and I'm just in school until August. But it's so bad over here that I can't leave my apartment without being scared, because someone is always outside giving me mean looks.

I think my best friend is jealous. I graduated from High school this summer, and she's still a junior. She would tell me ure soo lucky. We work together and at work she's been acting like mean and rude. Shes been acting weird lately. She doesnt call me that much, and she doesnt want to hang out. She gives me attitude. I haven't talked to her bacause I trully don't want to stop talikg to her, cuz she's the only friend I have. i also gonna be her baby's Godmother. And I don't want us to stop talking. Why do u think she acts this way?

by alice (not verified)

I totally understand you. Take a moment to look at it this way. If you are a positive person, you are special and rare in the world these days. i learned people hate positivity, they claim it's "not keeping it real". when i'm having a challenging day at work and seem a bit cranky, that's when eveyone wants to talk to me and bath in stories of my mishaps. when i'm bright eyed and happy, only other naturally positve people will respond to me, which will be very few.
may be your friend is too negative to be your friend anymore. seek friendships that you are very derserving of, and that is positive friendships. and don't let cranky people change you!

last but not least. how ever your friend is behaving, probably has nothing to do with you OR she doesn't have the courage to tell you if there was something that happened between you 2 that upset her.
ask her: Is there something you want to talk to me about? Did I upset you?

by ash (not verified)

I thort that jealous friends would do no harm and they would grow in self confidance a stop being jealous. unfortunatly this is not always the case and one of my (ex)friends has made me life as hard as possible and at one point sent me into depression! she's still not happy as what she intended (to break my boyfriend and me up) didnt happen but she has managed to make my friends not like me for no apparent reason. When i asked why she did this she has never been able to give me a reason but from running accross the room when she see's me talkin to a boy (when i was single) to copying my hair, make-up, shoes, clothes, the way i talk, walk, carry myself, she has made me hate her.

by clarice (not verified)

yeah you are right,
i have a friend that is jealous of me.we have a music group,and i have the best,
when we sing the chorus of the song and then she sings it louder than me,lots of people say that she's jealous of me,and thats not all,everytime when we go shopping everything i buy she buy too,when i buy a film we pick an actress and i pick the best and my sis picks another good one,so there be's two more girls left and she picks one girl.But when we are in college she acts acts like the person who i picked behind my back.

by kaela (not verified)

i have a close group of friends in my sophomore year in highschool. we always hang out and sometimes some of the girls are shady to me, for what seems like no reason at all. I assume it's just because i annoy them? but maybe its because they are jealous? i am smart and pretty . it makes me feel crappy like no one likes me and they all talk about me or something. what should i do? i cant just ignore one or two because that affects hanging out with everyone. thanks!

by Anon. (not verified)

That happened to me at the beginning of this year. There's either something about you that makes them uber jealous or they're just nasty people at heart. Either way ditch them, they'r not worth losing your sleep over.
I used to hang out with a group of friends too, til this year it was revealed that 2 in particular, have always hated me, that i annoyed them and 'wouldn't leave them alone' even though the only times i hung out with them or talked to them were during weekdays at ONLY at school! I decided to leave the whole group, eventhough that meant losing about 4 friends in one go, but soon i found a much better group of friends. And i've learnt so much just from that dumb experience.
Good luck finding new better friends! :)

by Christy (not verified)

There is one thing i look for in ppl before I want to consider them as friendship material, that is jealous personalities. If you have a feeling that they are jealous of you, than they really are. I met a couple ppl that i never tried to become 'friends' with b/c i just felt that they are always trying to compete with me. I'm a very modest person and I don't like to rub things in. Even if I no I am better at something. I'll try to bring myself to their level. But it always seem they take that as an advantage and try to put me down even more since they have a chance to. For ex: I'm a medical student that studies all the time, when I say I have to study all weekend..this one girl said she never have to study. (i just blew it off and didn't respond to her, but in my mind I was like she just graduate high school..how can she compare herself to me?)And not only that she's always trying to do what i do, like wearing the same outfit, hairstyle, and apply to med school too!! It got soooo annoying that I just ignore this person.

I was friends with this girl for 8 years. She is a beautiful person on the outside but as I got to know her better on the inside she was very ugly. She was jelouse that I graduated college before her ( that's because I didn't party as much as she did). Last year I've told her that my relationship with my boyfriend at the time, now fiance was getting serious so she thought of something like "well my friend likes you and if you dump your boyfriend he will treat you like a princess" I told her are u out of your mind! I am happy and my boyfriend he is treating me like a princess! I got engaged and she asked me if it was a big stone and I told her that it is a beautiful ring. When she saw it she looked at it and truned her head and siad I don't like round cut, princess cut is more expensive and is this white gold? cuz I like yeallow gold! After bad mouthing my ring she started saying that she got expensive fur coats and rolex watches from her current boyfriend and each was $18,000.00 ... I told her I'm very very happy for you and she kept braging and braging about herself( the thing is she doesn't not have all of those things, it is all talk).......what made me end my relationship with her was that she told my fiance that the ring that we picked out together was not good enough and that I deserve a better one, he told her I let her pick out whatever she wanted and No Diamond will ever show the love that I have for her beacuse it is priceless! She shut her mouth and didn't say anything all night long.....
I decided to just stop talking to her, I don't need anyone like her in my life.

I know I am a guy, and the situation might slightly differ, but this post is so wise. Wish I knew this advice before learning the hard way.

Even better, are those people who would seem the least jealous (big house, attractive spouse, nice car, etc) still seem hateful when you have something they don't (positive attitude, good with people, etc).

by df (not verified)

Everyone hates me and I've never put anyone down in my life as far as I can remember. People are going to great lengths to fuck with me and I do nothing but love them. The world tends to suck like that, huh? Consider yourself lucky if you just have had few jealous/insecure encounters with people. I want to move away from my home right now, it's unhealthy here. good luck.

by cwilliams (not verified)

Please try to hang in there, not everyone is that way. One good friend is better than a bunch of people who suck! If it will help, I will keep you in my prayers.

I totally agree that jealous people are insecure but it's so hard when they succeed in trying to bring you down. For example, I am a pretty, sincere and smart girl who has just graduated with a first, i also had an amazing boyfriend who recently broke up with me but both him and i didnt understand why. His housemates or "friends" were always jealous of him and then our relationship (one of his friend's resented me for not liking him), they have bullied me sayin that im a liar and that no one likes me, and convinced him he shouldnt be with me. I am so sad that i lost a beautiful sincere man because of people that are supposed to be his friends and were jealous of our happiness because they couldnt find the same. im truly heartbroken.

by vicky (not verified)

I have sent you a blessing and the hope that your bloke comes in light of his senses. you know love, I feel more sorry for him, god his freinds, with friends who would break up your home your friendship, god who needs enemies. I will send you a blessing to heal, but I can't help but think he is the one who is going to need it. You know I think both you and your man have been conned on this one. I hope he realises and I hope he choses to come back to you and get rid of them.

by Vanetta White (not verified)

You are so right. Jealous people tend to have insecure minds and are secretly unhappy.Talk about misery loving company. I've been through many periods of people being jealous of me from toxic friends, my siblings, and hostile co-workers. I think the best way to deal with people who are like that is by maintaining a positive attitude and keeping in mind that your life does not depend on their liking you. There are people out here who will except you just the way you are. I am one for instance. There are many others. Just be happy! Enjoy life!

by S Lane (not verified)

You are very wise I like what you wrote and hope you continue to spread positivity to all that you meet and know. Have you ever heard of that movie pay it forward? I think that possitive attitudes and negative attitudes are like that movie if you continue to be negative you are spreading negativity across the world if you are positive you spread positivity across the world pay it forward spread the word of positivity. Anyone can do it tell the girl at the drive through window her hair looks good or what every. Pay positivity forward it is contagious and makes people feel good about being here. Keep up the good work!

I have never met a jealous person as my husbands neice. She is always trying to make my husband hate me and go against me. She doesnt like the fact that he takes me out to dinner, he takes care of our son or he stands up for my rights within his own family. She always picks an arguement, fight and turns everyone against me. In the begining i was so naive and I thought she was a friend but later I learned that she was building traps along the way. I had a hgue family dinner and she had her mom call me and pick a fight about her daughter out of the blue! my dinner turned out bad and I ended up having a headache that night. She is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo jealous may God save me!!

Hi ZM. So that your heart does not become consumed with bitterness and you become hateful and angry and eventually depressed and miserable, be sure to forgive her in your heart right away. If you have become angry, ask God to forgive you. Now here is what is difficult to understand... ask the Lord to forgive her for her actions (name them specifically). Then ask the Lord to heal you and to give you compassion for her. Now, loving her and having compassion for her does not mean that you have to make effort to show her that you love her or always making yourself deal with her presence. Do not force an interaction with her and keep your interactions with her minimal. There are obviously issues within her soul that were there before you were around. Also, be careful not to keep talking about her with other people. If you find that you often discuss the situation and her with others, then you are hurt and offended. Unfortunately, this is what difficult people can do to us. They bring on the offense, and we are the ones who suffer. That is why you must forgive her IN YOUR HEART. Forgiving is what God commands us to do. Read Matthew 18:7-35. This will encourage you to forgive and not curse the people that offend you. Everyone has issues in the soul (mind, will, and emotions)and everyone needs help in some way or another.

I am not sure of your belief, but please do not blow off my message because I mention God and the Holy Scriptures. Many Christians see offenses as "the bait of Satan". Offenses weigh you down in every way.

So this is what I do.

Lord, I forgive (offender) for (whatever was said or done). God would you please forgive(offender) for (whatever was said or done). Lord, please forgive me for holding (whatever the offense is) in my heart. Lord, also please forgive me for judging (offender's) heart. You are the righteous judge and you know what is going on within them. Lord, give me compassion for (offender) and help me to love them. Lord, please heal me from this.

Once you pray, trust God. Leave it all in His hands. Do not expect the person to apologize(although they eventually may sometime much later) nor expect them to change (although they eventually may sometime later).

NEVER EXPECT PEOPLE TO APOLOGIZE BEFORE YOU FORGIVE THEM. THEY MAY NEVER APOLOGIZE TO YOU. However, you can release them.

You see Jesus came to redeem all that was lost. Unfortunately, because of the ugly nature of people, you can see why we need a Savior.

Take Care.

people who are jealous of others are insecure and hate everyone who is better than them. You are so rigth about it, they can not admitt they are jealous. Jealous people hate people who are more successful because they feel like they have to compare themselves to that person, and they do compare themselves to successful people, they feel very angry and upset about everything in their life and wonder why they aren't like that, they are so unhappy.

jealous people should change that negative view of theirs. they need to change it into positivity, translate it into inspiration, they need to realise this world is small, being jealous is stupid and foolist.
However, seriously wouldn't know how to help them over come their jealousy, think most people go see a therapist and read alot of those self help books. thats why they were written.

jealous people can't admitt what they doing is wrong because truth hurts. You know what, they actually blame people who are more successful for their misery, its like its our fault. They need to as themselve is acting the way they do going to make their life better? No it just going to make them more shinking into new lows.

People who are jealous of others tend to hang around in groups, so they can pick on others, blame other and feel not guilty, because everyone of them thinks the same way.

So please stop being jealous of me, just because i'm successful!!!!!
if I was up myself I would say this to their face, but then I be just as bad as them, but I'm not successful.

remember jealousy is wrong, its not the right thing to do.

How can I tell if my mother in law is jealous of me, or if she really doesn't like me? She constantly makes cutting remarks about me to others in front of me. Recently on mothers day she said to my friend who was dining with us after I had spoken about my C-section experience that it was my fault that my daughter was breech because I didn't go for any walks while I was pregnant. Of course this is not true. It runs in our family. She had remembered a conversation almost 1 year ago about me telling her that I didn't go for walks while I was pregnant. I couldn't even remember at the moment, but she did. A few months earlier she told this same friend right in front of me that the reason my daughter feet were faced outward was because I allowed her to sleep on her belly. This also is not true. My daughters feet were only like that for a couple of months because she was breech. The doctor even told me. And another thing, I only allow my baby to sleep on her belly until she is sleeping deep, then I move her to her back. I have told her that. She accuses me of everything. There is more, o, so much more. My mind is exhausted.

Oh my. I could right a book... Do any of you feel like putting some experiences together on jealous people, and publishing a book?

Oh my, after my face was fixed up I was normal again ( ok so apparently i look like Marilyn Monroe or something ) and suddenly the currents of jealousy in life hit me hard. I read about Marilyn's life and sadly she got the same treatment from many people. I guess all this hurt so much because my face had healed and I wanted to be accepted by people. I don't mind jealousy, but when people act like they are going to hit me or rip my head off I get scared. Mean comments don't scare me, but tall and angry people do. Ambitious people are the pitts especially, they believe they are only truly human when they have it all. It's really strange stuff. I am also cursed with this serene look on my face like nothing is wrong, even though I stress like nuts every day. I wish I could learn to enjoy the attention, but I'm just not sadistic enough to love making people upset...and no I'm not going to cum my degree, I feel bad about the future ( scared ) and the guy I like can't understand why I get so upset all the time. I'm too ashamed to admit I'm a weakling that can't handle people screaming at me and pulling demon faces at me. Best o Luck. x

I was not aware of jealousy until I became a young adult. I am the type of person belive it or not who becomes extremely happy for the unbelievably simplest things in life . At the age of 16 I realised my friends began attacking me for simply no reason in particular. I believe it was brought about by the way other people viewed me. The thing is these haters would bad mouth me and they would follow everything i did (how i wear my clothes and even mimic my personality). Even some girls i notice are angry at me simply because I am not interested in them, nor would I go out of my way just to please. Another observation I made is that jealous people group together and try to take down someone that threatens them the most, and after they go back to hating one another. The fact that they are jealous does not bother me but it does when the try to embarass me in front of others. I am not the type of person to stand an argue but the fact that they try to embarass me, leaves me bothered and angry for not replying. What should i do? I am not trying to compete with anyone. I am exhausted with being dealing with jealous people I am 22 and all I want to do is enjoy the rest of my youth. Please help!!!!
