#KDE #Plasma 5.16

Finally upgraded to Plasma 5.16 and it's a real pleasure to use. Thank you, @kde #KDE

Pas mal KDE Neon 5.16 !

0.75Gio sans Firefox ! 👍

En plus, y a vraiment pas à tortiller, c'est autrement plus racé que Gnome… Ça sent le retour imminent…

Plasma 5.16 is out! Check out all the new features and marvel at the improvements that now make working with Plasma smoother and more fun!

Teaser Plasma 5.16 (II) - Plasma does Groundhog Day https://peertube.mastodon.host/videos/watch/43dc9f0c-c827-49c7-8f1b-6462e820f0fa

If you are wondering what we are currently working on:
* The MIX group chat backend is almost finished and is currently being tested with ejabberd
* A QR-Code scanner is being integrated to allow easy logins and sharing of OMEMO keys later
* pep, the dependency of OMEMO is being implemented (about 50% finished)

Since offering a reward for people to start a blog, a dozen people have sent me emails and mastodon messages asking me to pay up for the blog they created two months ago, or accept their lazy 100 word article about how they set up their "blog", or for their non-technical blog about being discriminated against for their flavor of the week and I'm a priviledged asshole for not giving them money to support their flavor...

Listen. Don't be that guy. You're ruining a good thing.

I'm going to Akademy! And you should too! #kde #akademy https://tsdgeos.blogspot.com/2019/06/im-going-to-akademy.html

@tetris4 reflects on how far the KDE Community has come in regard to streamlining the onboarding of new contributors.

so i've been working on a Pleroma (and also Mastodon) client in Qt

#kdenlive 19.04.2 is out with a total of 77 fixes. Checkout what's new: https://kdenlive.org/en/2019/06/kdenlive-19-04-2-is-out/

#Mastodon #Firefox #Addon: Simplified Federation.

Simplifies following or interacting with other users on remote Mastodon instances in the Fediverse. It skips the "Enter your Mastodon handle" popup and takes you to your own "home" instance, without entering your Mastodon handle on remote instances.
