While you can follow across the Fediverse, no matter the platform, not all kinds of cross platform follows make sense imo. I personally wouldn’t follow Lemmy stuff from my Mastodon because it can get really floody. I also wouldn’t generally follow Mastodon accounts from Pixelfed, or Lemmy from Pixelfed. It’s really great that you can, but sometimes it’s better to just make an account on the specific platform instead.
One of the KDE Plasma features I use almost in daily basis is the MouseMark.
Go to your settings, in Desktop Effects, Enable the MouseMark (you can change the settings of it in the button in front of it). Then press Meta+Shift and move your mouse to doodle, or press and release Meta+Shift+Ctrl to define beginning and end of an arrow (it will draw the rest.
Interestingly enough, it have been in Plasma for the past 16 years:
@Lenni
You can, and also @flameshot provides more tools and colors, but it is a "still frame" because Flameshot captures the screenshot first, and then let the user to annotate it. Therefore it is not useful if a video is playing in the background or slides are changing or moving through the code.
Side note:: I'm one of the maintainers of Flameshot ;) and I'm glad you have found it handy :ablobcatattention:
You did it! 1,000 followers 🥳 As promised a 30 Euro donation to the KDE e.V.! Thank you to all the followers for making this possible. Here's to an awesome 2024 for KDE!
So far, I have to say that my #KDE#Plasma6 experience sucks.
The theme I was using doesn't work. The icons all suck. EventCalendar, which was synced to my Google calendar is dead. Vivaldi looks like crap. The panel at the bottom of my screen is floating up probably 100 pixels, leaving useless space below it, I can't find a way to sink it to the actual bottom of the screen. I had increased all my font sizes because my eyes are bad, they have all shrunk and changing the font sizes and the interface percentage doesn't fix it.
You really shouldn’t have 6.0 unless you’re on a rolling distro that’s very fast at updating packages. Even Arch doesn’t have 6.0 in the main repos yet, you only get it if you enable the testing repos. And that’s kind of what you sign up for with rolling distros, especially with testing repos enabled.
The average user shouldn’t have it, only some rolling distros have it so far, and KDE Neon for obvious reasons. Even Arch doesn’t have it in the main repos yet.
KDE Plasma 6 is available in the next version of Fedora Kinoite today!
Warning! This is a pre-beta Fedora release that may have bugs. Feedback welcomed!
To try it, you can install Fedora Kinoite 39 and rebase to Fedora 40 on the command line or directly install it using the Kinoite dvd-ostree ISO from: https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/nightlies.html
@Conan_Kudo@carlschwan@kde@kde yeah, I strongly suspect seccomp. I’m debugging this now and I will share updates when I get to the bottom of the problem.
@zygoon@carlschwan@kde@kde The clone3() call is done implicitly and automatically by glibc. It started with glibc 2.34. This is most likely a problem in the Ubuntu Core 22 runtime that KDE snaps are built on.
The fix is to patch out the logic that uses it for clone() in Ubuntu's glibc.
Cool KDE Plasma Tip: Quickly access task manager apps with [Meta] + [number]
@kde's task manager usually lives in the panel located by default at the bottom of your desktop (see attached image).
Quickly open or display apps shown in the task manager by holding down the [Meta] (aka "Windows") key and hitting one of the number keys at the top of your keyboard.
Reach the first app on the left with [Meta] + [1], the second from the left with [Meta] + [2], etc.
@diazona@Bro666@rriemann@kde@kde there are still updates of the source code. There is a PPA for Ubuntu, but that hasn't been updated for a while. It is fairly easy to compile.
Why mirror to Github if you can’t or won’t take pull requests or such on it? Is this just another place where someone can download the code? Additionally, it doesn’t feel clear that this is a mirror looking at the Github repo. Maybe the description should be expanded to explain it’s a mirror and is read-only.
You know how you can use [Ctrl] + [v] to paste in place the last thing you copied to the clipboard, right?
A cool and productive-enhancing variant of that available in #KDE 's #Plasma desktop is that, when copying and pasting a lot of different things, you can hold down the [Meta] ("Windows") key and hit [v], and a list of all the elements available on the clipboard will pop up so you can choose what to paste next.
If you are hosting a lemmy server and encounter federation issues (e.g, you can't find your instance from your Mastodon account), there is a bug fix for that here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/pull/114
I've deployed it to lemmy.kde.org, and it should now be possible to follow @kde :) #kde#lemmy
