I don't have anything against Kevin, I'm sure he's a great. However, his "web review" series is unrelated to KDE and has very general tech blog posts. It's also not really an article rather than a compilation of links (which don't really compile any KDE articles as far as I recall). Don't get me wrong, I love hearing more about the lives and troubles of KDE developers that aren't strictly KDE and I believe Planet should always publish those (I remember an amazing post about hacking your own AC that someone wrote a while ago!). I just don't feel like a compilation of links is that type of post. I wouldn't want him to remove his blog, it just would be great if he could post under the #KDE tag for kde-related news, that's all. The "web review" posts started on 2021 and it's all that has been published since then: https://ervin.ipsquad.net/blog/
I personally like this blog post a lot and I read them. I would definitely miss them.
I also follow the blog posts every week and enjoy reading articles suggested in those posts. However, I see Momo's concern and I agree with that. We even have this in the README https://invent.kde.org/websites/planet-kde-org/#blogs-should-be-kde-themed. Exactly as Momo's suggestion, I think having KDE-related news under the tag #kde or something similar would be much better.
As for me and others who like those web review posts, I think we should subscribe to Kevin's blog itself, instead of through the Planet, if we want something regularly far away from KDE like that.
CCing Kevin Ottens for comment.
Speaking personally, I read a lot of the links in these posts and have learned and grown as a result of them. I feel like maybe we should go in the other direction and post more KDE content so that the blog isn't 100% non-KDE web links.
Yeah well, I wish I could post more KDE content but lately... well... life. I started this web review for two reasons: 1. it's actually my coping strategy for the guilt of not finding the time to write more original content 2. I see it as a service to the KDE community to get a chance to see what happens in other tech circles (I know very well how as a contributor we can tend to not be exposed much to trends outside our bubble). At least from the comments here and emails I received during the past year (2) seems to be somewhat working I guess.
Ah also, for the record: I also got at least a yearly Akademy post and one KDE PIM Summary (should be later this year for both). Granted it's not much.
Please keep them.
Sounds like this is a "behaves correctly" situation. :)
