On my way to #FrOScon today, I will be at the GnuPG/g10 Code stand and I will have a very limited stock of KDE stickers, so if you want some be quick to grab them ;)

#gpg #kde

Day 2 starting the right way with some French Vienoiserie

First day of the KDE PIM sprint in Toulouse. Aside from the wonderful cakes, we actually managed to get quite a few stuff done.

#kde #merkuro #kmail #linux

Finally wrote about a topic, I have been thinking for a long time: a KDE Apps initiative. There are already more than 200 KDE Apps, but this is not enough. So let's more KDE apps together!

@croydon @EU_Commission They posted about the problem before :/ There was at least a presentation about the struggle of the instance at the Freedom Not Fear conference last year by some of the people involved in this effort.

Best place to do some KDE hacking 🤩

Big KDE Plasma 6 release tomorrow 🥳. Who is excited and what is the feature your are the most looking for with this release? #plasma6

And this is why word based moderation is a bad idea :(

Did you know @kde had an #accessibility inspector? Currently it's hidden in the build folder of libqaccessibilityclient but not for long. We started the process of making it a standalone application and a first release is planned in 2-3 weeks!

@luis_in_brief @root @cwebber Anyone following a bit the activities of Element has been seeing a lot of desperate call for help from Element. Financially they are not looking so good, they laid off some of their employees earlier this year, they tried to make the foundation more powerful by trying to find additional sponsors (which was not particularly foundation) and from rumeurs I heard they lost various tenders for Matrix based solutions to the typical public sectors integrator.

Francis 1.0 is out. Enjoy this new Pomodoro app for Plasma. https://carlschwan.eu/2023/09/08/francis-1.0/ 😍

And thanks to @fkinoshita for his original work on it.

@aral @kde Here some before screenshots of Kate and Dolphin. I should probably add that to my blog post. My patch is 200 lines long and I'm impressed how much this change the look.

Don't like all these frames in @kde's QtWidget apps? Me neither, so here is my proposal to remove them in #Plasma6 😎

A nice message about our progress on #accessibility in #KDE plasma!

I wrote a small blog post about roadmaps and asking when a specific feature will be implemented in an open source projects.

I have been rewriting @kde 's KWordQuiz to QML and Kirigami. Here are some screenshots of the current state :)

Did you know you could use Mastodon as a comment platforms on your blog? I blogged about this 2 years ago https://carlschwan.eu/2020/12/29/adding-comments-to-your-static-blog-with-mastodon/ but since there has been a lot of newcomers recently, it might be a good idea to share it again ?
