My kids are playing #gcompris' geography activity, and it occurred to me, a language nerd, that it would be awesome if we could collect the countries' names pronounced by someone local, and use those sounds for a similar activity. Of course, it's so out of this world, that I'm not gonna open an issue in their issue tracker. At best, I could start collecting them, and only open the issue when I have them all, right?
Apple had to learn the hard way: Under the DMA (thanks @EUCommission !) they were forced to give users a choice regarding the default search engine and browser on their systems.
What are we going to do about Microsoft misleading users?

@rochacbruno@kde It's the same. Money goes either way to us with more or less the same cut by the payment provider, so it depends on which payment method you prefer.
WARNING: Global themes and widgets created by 3rd party developers for Plasma can and will run arbitrary code. You are encouraged to exercise extreme caution when using these products.
A user has had a bad experience installing a global theme on Plasma and lost personal data.
Global themes change the look of Plasma, but also the behavior. To do this they run code, and this code can be faulty, as in the case mentioned above. The same goes for widgets and plasmoids.
We are calling on the community to help us locate and quarantine defective software by using the "Report" buttons available on each item in the KDE Store.
Meanwhile, KDE is taking measures to properly warn users before each download and we are also putting in place ways of auditing and curating what is uploaded to the KDE store.
Nevertheless, this will take time and resources. We recommend all users to be careful when installing and running software not provided directly by KDE or your distros.
And remember to report any faulty products you find!
WTF @kde? Who translated the name of the months in Persian calendar?! They're correct in English, but 6 out of 12 of them are wrong in Persian! #KDE#Plasma6
Or a more accurate headline would be: "Themes developed for Plasma 6...".
These are not themes put out by the Plasma project as you are implying. They are not even created by Plasma developers, or even remotely recommended by KDE.
These are themes developed by third parties and users install and run them at their own risk.
