The "Magic Lamp" minimise effect in KDE Plasma looks stupid, but it's actually kinda great for usability. I mean, it's *very* clear where the window went. I'm keeping it.
#Linux #Desktop #KDE

So where’s actually the correct place to send a feature request to #KDE Plasma Addons?
Its GitLab readme says that I should “report bugs and feature requests in KDE's bugtracker under the plasmashell category”, but that requires me to choose a Component and there’s no “Plasma Addons” component or anything like that.
The bugs.kde page also says that I should, if I’m “not sure this is actually a bug, instead post about it at https://discuss.kde.org”.
So if each place tells me to post it somewhere different, where should I post it?

I just made my annual donation to #KDE. Feels good :)

Hey look at that!
I got XMMS running on a modern Linux system :ignutius:
It doesn't play any music yet though... :stallman_thaenkin:

Does someone have a working integration of #Nextcloud and #KDE on #nixos ?
I managed to add it as an Online Account but I don't have an option for calendars. Only for contacts and storage…

This new #OCR feature in #KDE is fantastic! 🎉 Sadly it's only for Spectacle for now but having OCR as a library is on the road map and I hope it gets added to Gwenview next. The built-in OCR in macOS Preview is so useful that I wondered why KDE still doesn't have it natively yet.

I might have spent a little too much time last night on making my #kde plasma config declarative with #nix plasma-manager - pretty happy with the emoji desktop icons and the cheat sheet tho

On the KDE Plasma side it would be nice if the Wallpapers package was split up in two: the ones related to the version being installed and the old/additional ones, as an option. Plunking 200 Mb of wallpapers on my system at which I hardly ever look is a bit of a waste.

Ha someone asked a question about the steam frame: what is the situation with desktop mode? Are we getting a KDE VR desktop experience? I know it's a lot of work but Wayland is kind of VR ready and the opportunities seems so cool....

#KDE folks, and #UX folks in particurlar, what am I to make of this Dolphin behaviour with #Nextcloud where some have ⮾ and some have ✅ but a hover makes them disappear? Where would I have been told what they do?

I could not find that many solutions to my #GNOME issues listed at the bottom on https://karl-voit.at/Gnome-Setup/ and so I tested Debian 13 Live

KDE Plasma and applications on FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT
― 15.0-ALPHA2 FreeBSD Installer, I chose packages (pkgbase)
― then a major upgrade using pkg
#FreeBSD #pkgbase #KDE

This, because my hand invariably keeps twitching and reaching out for the Save button at the bottom instead of at the top of the file picker of #Firefox ->
fixing firefox #gtk file picker to #kde

Yesterday I had to present some stuff to a pretty large group, around 40 people.
What better moment to install my KDE spin of the Nixbook project (codeberg.org/thesaigoneer/asterix-saigon) for a real life test?
I have only one issue with it.
It just keeps working 🤣
#nixos #kde

Just tested my FreeBSD KDE Wayland setup on 15-PRERELEASE and it works as well.
The part in my write up about switching to the Latest branch doesn't apply obviously. We're there already 🥳
#freebsd #kde

Off to the races! Tested and all, another great slacker0ni production.
Thanks Jay!

Great to see Gentoo has moved Plasma 6.4.5 already to the stable repo. Prior Stable was always one major version behind (like on Debian, so 6.3.6) and the latest version was in Testing.
Tells you something about the stability of KDE now. Chapeau!
