With all the hassles added by Akonadi and Nepomuk and Strigi for some
higher "social/semantic desktop" purpose, does anyone actually _use_ the
stuff? Or just the devs that thought it up? Googling "KDE Social Desktop"
returns mostly 3-year-old links to articles about what it will do someday,
but I'm wondering, "What does it do today?" There have been 9 major
releases to date. Is everyone (but me) social-desktopping away happily and
not writing anything (useful) about it? Even the Social-Desktop mailing
list archive is pushing a year without any updates.
Googling "KDE Semantic Desktop" doesn't provide much more current
information about why I should care now, years after the project was
started.
All I know is that is causes a lot of problems, for me and others, without
any obvious benefits. All I've seen for me is every once in a while, for no
apparent reason, an app as simple as my email program suddenly consumes up
to 2G of memory and I have to kill it and restart the Akonadi server. For
email, something I've used in one form or another since the 1990s - _15
year ago_.
So what's happening with this grand vision?
