Hello, I'm Carl. I'm French-German and I currently live in Berlin. In my free time, I contribute to the KDE project where I (co-)maintain multiple applications: Tokodon, Merkuro, Arianna, NeoChat as well as the websites. Previously Nextcloud. Aside from coding, I like cycling, backing and playing board games.

I finally cleaned up and released my Hugo preview plugin for #KDE's Kate on Invent:

invent.kde.org/redstrate/site-

It's available on my COPR if you're using a Fedora-based distribution:

copr.fedorainfracloud.org/copr

(I can't find my original post so :BlobCat_SmilignOpenMouthSweating:)

Screenshot of the Kate text editor, open on my personal Hugo website. Not only am I editing the markdown, but there's a preview of it open on the right side - which is created by my plugin.

Hmm I got an email from masto.host that kde.social reached full usage of the database storage of 5Gb :(

Sounds like I can either double the subscription 9€ -> 19€ or set a remote content retention period and delete old remote posts.

Still need to think a bit about it but maybe I should also consider self hosting it.

Running clubs are fun but I really didn't expect to stay until 23h30 at the bar with some other runners arguing about whether it's called sunglasses or sunshades 😅

KDE creates a safe haven for Windows 10 exiles.

In the context of the @Endof10 campaign, we have created a new "for" page, this time "for Windows 10 exiles":

kde.org/for/w10-exiles/

In it we explain how Linux with Plasma can help users escape the deranged cycle of having to buy a new computer every time Microsoft force-upgrades their operating system.

Happy birthday, Nextcloud! Today 9 years ago 12 people founded Nextcloud to create a complete Free and Open Source alternative to centralized proprietary cloud services and open core competitors.
Together we achieved a lot more than what I dreamed of. We are the leading European Open Source collaboration solution thanks to our awesome community. Thanks to everyone!

@proficiency @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social You don't have to worry. KDE remains profoundly anti fascist and queer friendly.

Not sure if that was the result of #endof10 or because Windows 11 in itself is a great advertisement for Linux on its own, but free software as a subject of interest is a largely online subculture IMHO. It is weird to me when that subject "leaks" onto ordinary IRL situations, but definitely welcome. :)

Also, I didn't know why he asked me in particular.

An End-of-10 event will be held in Bangkok this weekend to help people switch to GNU/Linux as an alternative to the outdated Windows 10 and Windows 11’s compatibility issues. The event will be in Thai, but basic proficiency in the language is sufficient, attendees won’t need advanced language skills or the ability to read traditional literature.

Today it's a bank holiday in Germany, so it means it's a rave day today in Berlin for me 😎
