Kaidan 0.10.1 was released. This version brings media sharing and new message marker fixes.
Kaidan is a user-friendly and modern chat app for every device. It uses the open communication protocol XMPP (Jabber). Unlike other chat apps, you are not dependent on one specific service provider.

Trying to keep up with KDenlive versions on Haiku, checking out latest release (did a version bump for mlt after seeing a pointer for it on the KDE forum). Doesn't look all that bad. :)
Playing around with KDE's kde-builder tool on Haiku, after the first attempts things look pretty good in shape.
For those interested, I've wrote down some steps on how to set this up for haiku at:

Upstream information (lots of additional required information can be found there):

Meanwhile Kcalc and Konsole (and their required frameworks build). :)

KDE Plasma 6.3 brings drawing tablet improvements
Speaking of KDE, Plasma 6.3 has been released. It brings with it a ton of improvements aimed at digital artists, such as much improved management and configuration of drawing tablets. You can now map an area of the tablet's surface to a part of the screen, change the functions of stylus buttons, customise the pressure curve and range of a st

I've joined up with @kde as an Accessibility Engineer.
You know *exactly* what that means, and yes - the coffee and C++ muscle memory is ready.
Hello, #KDE community :)
I built a latency meter with an Arduino and a photo transistor to answer one question: Is click-to-photon latency higher on Wayland than on X11?
And the answer is: Yes, actually.
⏱️ 42 ms on X11, compositing off
⏱️ 56 ms on X11, compositing on
⏱️ 64 ms on Wayland
⏱️ 71 ms on Windows 10
Tested with Plasma 6.3.4 and Firefox 137. I will improve my methods and confirm these numbers. See replies for details.

Hey @kde, I just wanted to thank all the #KDE contributors. I love the look of my #KDEPlasma6 desktop!
As developers, we often hear (angry) users when things don't work, but rarely happy users when everything goes well. So here is that, just a message of appreciation to y'all :)
KRetro is now an official (wip) KDE app!! If you like retro games and have wanted a native Qt/Kirigami Libretro frontend for Plasma (and Plasma Mobile), this is it!
It's not released yet (name is still subject to change too), and there is still a lot to do, but please do come and test/contribute: https://invent.kde.org/games/kretro
(Also special thanks for @carl for his help!)
FreeBSD 15.0 aims to introduce a KDE desktop installation option, allowing users to boot directly into a graphical login with minimal setup required.

Testo neste momento o Tokodon, cliente para API #Mastodon que também está disponível para #GNU. Aqui, no caso, é a versão da tornozeleira eletrônica de bolso #Android, aplicativo instalado do repositório do KDE para o F-Droid
Visualmente, é muito bem acabado. Porém, pelo menos no perfil do #Snac, não vejo um menu de emojis personalizados para inserir aqui, ao contrário do #Fedilab. Sinto ainda algum bug neste campo de edição. A seguir, devo testar com perfil do Mastodon.
