#KEcoLab is a KDE tool for measuring software's #energy consumption, but it needs robust testing to ensure stable functionality after code changes. Sarthak presents his work in Season of #KDE 2024 implementing dedicated test builds with #Kate test scripts.

Plasmashell inverts(flips?) screen after running a game? (X11/Plasma 6)
Hi, I'm using nvidia drivers. FOr whatever reason at times Plasmashell would get "cute" and flip the screen to the point I just run plasmashell --replace and everything goes back to normal...
Speaking officially, I would caution #Kalpa users to please keep a level head regarding the current potential issues with Global Themes and other content from store.kde.org
The vast majority of the content there is probably fine to use, but this is all user generated content, and it is on you, as the end user, to protect yourself, and verify what these themes and plasmoids do, if you wish to use them.
#KDE Upstream is having some very serious conversations about how to mitigate this issue, as are the folks that run #Pling (The host of store.kde.org) regarding reporting and review.
It is just important to remember that your machines security ultimately rests in your hands, safeguards can be put in place, and will be, but it's still your machine, and it's possible to break things, no matter the software developers intentions.
Attention people in Southern California! KDE is coming to town (to set up a booth a SCaLE21x).
Come visit us at @socallinuxexpo at the Pasadena Convention Center, enjoy some talks, meet KDE contributors, marvel at our technological... er... marvels, and have a good time!
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:
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.
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
I would jump into the KDE Connect Matrix room: go.kde.org/matrix/#/#kdeconnect:kde.org and the KDE Mac room: go.kde.org/matrix/#/#KDE-Mac:kde.org to discuss. Builds are now done on GitLab directly, but it may be the case that nobody has set up the CI builds.
So I recently ran across this post and thread by @vwbusguy, and I would like to try to address some of the questions/misconceptions/etc that come up in the thread.
If you have questions, please, ask. What we do with #Kalpa isn't identical to what #Fedora does with their #AtomicDesktops, but many of the concepts for the end user are going to be similar/the same.
You know how a lot of people say they would love to contribute to Free Software but can't code? No more! Become a KDE Booth Buddy and help out at ScaLE!
This is @druonysus and he needs help managing the KDE booth at Scale 21x.
@kde@druonysus@kde L.A. is a bit far for me, but I do hope he get lot of helpers.
And while I’m at it, thanks to all the good people at #KDE for their excellent work on Plasma and all their apps.
(I just wish Kmail wasn’t that far embedded into the desktop env’, so I could uninstall it without causing problem in my system, since I don’t use it. But that’s just me nitpicking, and might even be more a distro problem than a Plasma/KDE one.)
If you would like to find out more, developers of all these things will be answering questions today, Jan 31, live on Reddit and Lemmy at 6 pm. Join us!
We are less than 50 days away from the final version of #Plasma6.
Along with Frameworks 6 and KDE Gear 24.02, the Megarelaease on the 28th of February will be one of the biggest and more complex upgrades in KDE's history.
One more RC will be released on the 31st of January and then it will be (hopefully) clear sailing until the final release.
KDE connect on MacOS - Where are the binaries now that binary-factory.kde.org is down?
I’ve been looking for a way to update my KDE connect binary on my Mac and realised that the binary-factory.kde.org was gone....
