De volta às raízes da customização! 🐧
Anos atrás eu usava o KDE, depois migrei para o Gnome e fiquei por lá, mas nos últimos anos senti um engessamento grande. O Gnome é bom, bonito e simples, mas perdi aquela liberdade de customização. Algo que eu sempre gostei. Aquela ideia de liberdade do Linux.
Semana passada, decidi dar uma chance ao KDE Plasma 6. A adaptação foi muito fácil e estou adorando! Me sinto mais leve e livre para deixar o desktop com a minha cara (e meu humor!). Excelente retorno!
Should I brag about the fact we don't have any AI usage in the KDE Developer documentation?
It's all done by real people.

I'm an anarcho-syndicalist non-binary person who uses they/them pronouns, is bisexual, from Bergen, Norway, and whose posts automatically delete after seven days regardless of likes or boosts, because I have autism and say random shit sometimes.
I talk allot about free software, and I use Secureblue, GrapheneOS and Debian as part of my software setup. I also spend a lot of time experimenting with Linux, especially Debian Testing/Sid, GNOME, and KDE.
As an anarcho-syndicalist, I encourage you to check out NSF-IAA, the sole remaining anarcho-syndicalist organization in Norway that has been actively upholding these principles since 1916.
I maintain several pages and resource documents related to left-wing Anarchist reading below.

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.

Buenos días,
Primer #ViernesDeEscritorio del año para mí. Ya se puede aprecir el upgrade de procesador; de una Ryzen 5 3600 a un Ryzen 7 5700X. Fondo de escritorio del peliculón Akira.
Updates at haikuports, Skrooge got updated to 26.1.20 for 64bit, Tellico got updated to 4.1.5 for both 32bit and 64bit, Enjoy! :)

Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop.
It's a deliberate choice I made. Not out of love for free software. Not out of mere ideology. Not out of great hatred towards Microsoft.
I simply did it out of the severe clash between the RAM shortage and the abhorrent RAM consumption of Windows 11.
And thus, Linux girth be damned, this is my new home.
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:

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

@simontatham It's been a looong time since I used #putty (I ran it in a #Wine "bottle", these came from #flatpak, I'm using Debian 13 #KDE). Thanks for all your efforts!
To my mind, 98% of the time, people would use putty to log into a #linux box/VPS, like say a #RaspberryPi (Raspberry Pi OS, is #Debian Trixie 13-based). This would be a sensible default assumption, **demographically**.
It took a good 2 hours of struggling, just to get 256 colors to work in Putty! (#Python's textualize library seriously expects 256, or *it can crash* when the Theme is changed). Please let the defaults be sane, so there's no struggle for 256 colors! Please alleviate my nerd rage - I beseech you!
1) Sane TERM env var:
Connection -> Data -> Terminal details -> Terminal-type string -> "putty-256color"
2) Sane default font:
Window -> Appearance -> Font settings -> "Change" button -> adwaita mono 12
3) Sane bolding of text:
Window -> Colors -> General options for color usage -> Indicate bolded text by changing: The font
4) Sane (Linux-terminal-style) Ctrl + Shift + {C,V} (for copy and paste):
Window -> Selection -> Assign copy/paste actions to clipboard -> Ctrl + Shift + (C,V}: System Clipboard
Right. Enough suspense.
