#TIL that applications from @FlatpakApps integrate much better than Snap with the rest of my #KDE desktop in #Kubuntu. They appear correctly in the application launcher, keep being pinned to the taskbar through updating, and have better metadata in the Discover app.

Right. Enough suspense.

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 :)

Someone posted an old Slackware 2005 setup (KDE 3.3.2, kernel 2.4) and it instantly brought back memories.

Before systemd. Before Wayland.
Just KDE 3, Konsole, and Slackware doing exactly what you told it to do.

20 years later and the philosophy hasn’t changed.

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!)

Še vedno je namizje v celoti prevedeno v slovenščino (prevodi nam manjkajo le v nekaj nekaj programih).

Uživajte v uporabi!

Como a #TerSoftware ainda não acabou:

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.
