 @kde now I'm imagining a future where protonmail bridge lets Kalendar access Proton Calendar... or is that a thing already? @kde I was considering a migration to Thunderbird, but I prefer korganizer most. Thanks! Do you work at Microsoft* but also miss a powerful terminal emulator? New in KDE Gear ⚙️ 23.04: Konsole now works on Windows too! More at: https://kde.org/announcements/gear/23.04.0/ --- * We couldn't think of another reason of why you would still be using Windows over Plasma 🤷

@kde Console on Windows sounds great. PS, I enjoyed your Windows joke. (So many people didn't seem to get it... but I guess being forced to use Windows anywhere is no joke...) @kde currently beating myself up over not being able to apply to a job where I'd be stuck with microsoft stuff. Would love Konsole there tho, at least something familiar...  @kde having way too many desktops installed on one distro and using Konsole on budgie totally doesn't feel wrong at all KDE Gear ⚙️ 23.04 has landed! Today we are focusing on the new arrivals 🛸 to Gear. Many of these apps are ready to work both on computers and phones, like Tokodon, a cool Mastodon client; or the tube 📺 apps, AudioTube and PlasmaTube; the Kasts podcast app; and many more Also don't miss all the new features in Kdenlive, NeoChat, Dolphin, Gwenview, Itinerary, Kalendar....

 Thanks, that are a lot of great changes. I especially like the screen recording functionality in Spectacle and the list view in Filelight. And I learned about some new apps. :mastolove:   digiKam 8 has landed 📸! After two years of development and bug stomping, the newest version of KDE's advanced digital photo management app is finally here. digiKam 8.0 comes loaded with new features, not least of which are a brand new online manual (available at https://docs.digikam.org/en/index.html), support for more than 10 new RAW formats, a new OCR tool that will help you lift text out of images, and much, much more. https://www.digikam.org/news/2023-04-16-8.0.0_release_announcement/

 @kde for your information, the application is not accessible enough with screenreaders that one can use it for reading books. First off, if you tab past the list with your books, you get into a dialog, I assume search, out of which you can't get unless you press escape, you can't even tab in it. Then, and that's probably because of flatpak portals being dumb accessibility wise, I can't select an epub file for viewing, because the listing is entirely inaccessible.

 @kde @kubuntufocus Great to see a new hardware vendor as a KDE patron, particularly in the US where KDE presence as always been a bit lacking. @kde @kubuntufocus Wow, those look great and they ship to Canada for free too! (Un)fortunately, KDE makes my 10-year old laptop still work like a charm! Still very tempting though. Say hello to KDE Discuss! A new discussion service from KDE for everybody who makes and uses KDE software. #KDEDiscuss is a place for questions, requests, suggestions, banter, and in general interacting closely with the people actively involved in KDE, as well as with fellow users. #KDEDiscuss is also a great way of getting up-to-date news about your favorite apps, new KDE products, environments and frameworks directly from those who create them.

@kde
Great news. I upgraded my system to Kubuntu 23.04 and it is a great experience. However i wonder why Scanpage is not available in the repos. There is no flatpak or snap either. Skanlite which is installed by default is far to basic for my needs.
