 I spent days trying to turn off MS's bloatware on my last machine. Cortana, the AI assistant, cannot be uninstalled. You can, supposedly, turn it off, but it still runs in the background. On the other hand, I'm very happy with my new machine running Linux. It's noticeably faster, does everything I want, and it doesn't spy on me. @kde Last time I tried using Plasma, I had to lose two days worth of work in order to wipe, format, and install GNOME (of all things). So apologies, I will stay with Microsoft, whatever harrowing that choice may be  This week in KDE: we released SDDM 0.20.0, finished porting Plasma 6 to KSvg, improved the performance of Wayland with multi-GPU systems, and tweaked the look of widgets in the panel: https://pointieststick.com/2023/06/23/this-week-in-kde-sddm/

@kde did you guys fix that bug in SDDM where it will hang on shutdown for a minute and a half?

 @kde @TomOrmiston I used to contribute to Kopete back in the day. KDE is amazing ! This week in #KDE we did some major refactoring of the Plasma Widgets API, started tracking the Plasma 6 progress on a wiki page, and added a new KDE For webpage to our website. https://pointieststick.com/2023/06/09/this-week-in-kde-major-plumbing-work-in-plasma-6/  @kde *the political sentence* is so tone deaf that I'm fucking amazed how you didn't see it. Why did you even think that "sitting on both chairs" is a good thing to brag about in the context of a fucking war? Please remove it, together with your social presence in Russian social network VK. @gcompris is KDE's collection of more than 180 fun educational activities for children of all ages, and the team has just released version 3.3! This version adds عربي (Arabic) and Esperanto to the list of supported languages, new graphics for the Photo Hunter activity, better keyboard handling and many other improvements.

@kde I'd love to use KDevelop or even Kate but I mainly do Flutter development and for that the official VSCode extension is sadly king. Especially the hotkey to easily remove or add widgets to the widget tree is game-changing and I can't live without. Is there an easy way to add such support? Not sure if LSP support and using the official LSP server for Dart is good enough...  @kde nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo This week in KDE: HDR is coming to the Plasma desktop🖥️! https://pointieststick.com/2023/05/20/this-week-in-kde-preliminary-hdr-support/ https://zamundaaa.github.io/wayland/2023/05/18/hdr-and-color-management-in-kwin.html HDR changes the luminance and colors of graphics, allowing for brighter and more detailed highlights, darker and more-detailed shadows, and a wider array of intense colors. @kde Eagerly waiting for this. I got an expensive HDR, 144hz monitor recently but only been able to get 144hz working properly. Soon HDR(even if limited) : ✅ Last thing I think will be smooth scaling for Wayland and xwayland apps. For now, i have to enable letting xwayland apps handle their scaling option. But it's hit or miss. @kde HDR in plasma let's go!(currently not running linux on any HDR compatible devices because of bios passwords)  @niccolove delivers an entertaining explanation on how enhancing a #Plasma feature is done and gives insight into the process of #programming in KDE. https://tube.kockatoo.org/w/4e4588ec-5b72-42c6-8505-df1cdd6ca52f

 @kde @niccolove "Did you miss me" I don't know who you are, so no, I 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 have missed you. @kde @niccolove Uhh. You go, Nicco! Love it. It's the feature I really miss the most on KDE!

The Plasma Sprint is over, and devs have made headway working towards #Plasma6: double-click becomes the default for opening files and folders, there's a new default task switcher, floating panels are activated by default, and the release cycle changes, among many other things. https://pointieststick.com/2023/05/11/plasma-6-better-defaults/ Many thanks to @tuxedocomputers 🖥️ for hosting this event ❤!

 @kde Those are some nice changes already. Very glad I won't have to change to double-click myself, and it's way easier to tell focus now in that screenshot. New task switcher looks nice, too. #PlasmaMobile news for April: 3 new #apps, PowerPlant, MarkNote, and OptiImage land in Plasma Mobile; Tokodon invites you to explore #Mastodon; NeoChat helps you organize events through #Matrix with #location sharing; and much, much more. https://plasma-mobile.org/2023/05/05/this-month-plasma-mobile/  @kde Hello, I am trying discover on live USB but it crashes on launching. What might be the problem? Season of KDE 2023 is over! 8 new KDE contributors improved Tokodon's accessibility, added controls to AudioTube, prepared KDE apps for eco-certification, improved Spectacle's annotation tools, setup workflows for creating Flatpaks, and much, much more.

@kde stickers are so cool
Gerade noch so 24 Stunden bis zu meinem #tübix Vortrag "Vom Leben und Sterben einer Software
" https://www.tuebix.org/2023/programm/9-vom-leben-und-sterben-einer-software/
@kde love the tubingen and reutlingen area of Germany but can't be there.
Any chance of a few mailed stickers?
