Zentralrat der Unbefugten fordert endlich Zutritt

Plasma 6.4 is out and it's' more welcoming than ever!

https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.4.0/

Check out the tweaked tiling that lets you have different layouts for every virtual desktop; the overhauled Spectacle that makes capturing your desktop faster; how KRunner now understands color; and in general the literally dozens of other fixes and features that make Plasma friendlier and easier to use.

Dear konqisphere, today at 18h CEST @sitter and I will be meeting again in a https://www.twitch.tv/daft_code episode! We'll be discussing how we develop flatpak apps, some neochat development, hopefully merging Kamoso's Qt 6 port and whatever we find along the way. Join us!

Here's an overview of the public transport data that goes into #Transitous via #GTFS, #GBFS and #OSM, and how you can help to extend this in your region: https://volkerkrause.eu/2025/06/14/transitous-adding-data.html

Any improvement there benefits applications like #GNOME Maps, #KDE Itinerary or #Träwelling.

@mattdm officially handing over the #Fedora Project Leader role to @jspaleta at #FlockToFedora.

The KDE booth is open!

@kde@lemmy.kde.social

KDE and its eco initiative will have a booth tomorrow at the Umweltfestival in Berlin. The event is free to attend, so come chat with us and let's talk about #endOf10

https://www.umweltfestival.de/

@kde@lemmy.kde.social

hello #gnome folks! if you are interested in supporting @Endof10 (and hopefully you are!), there are now some assets you can use in social media:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Engagement/engagement-assets/-/tree/main/Social%20Media/End%20of%2010

once you have a local repair cafe planned, i strongly recommend getting *out of your bubble* ... people on mastodon know about #endof10, and they're already running linux. or openbsd or haiku or something.

go out into the world. make a tiktok. post to instagram or wherever your great-aunt sees your vacation photos.

Hey you. Do you like low level programming? would you like to contribute to a large and well established project? Because I'm always looking to help new contributors getting started on GDB! It uses C++, but you may also end up needing to remove abstraction layers, so there's tons of things not-C++ to think about, if you want to.

I know that contributing to the GNU Debugger may sound like it's something that would be incredibly hard, or that you need ungodly amounts of knowledge to improve, because that's literally how I felt before sending my first patch, but the truth is, the project was developed by people (humans and otherwise), so silly bugs will abound, and simple oversights will need correcting. There is stuff for every level of programmer to do, from "I've worked on the kernel for 20 years" to "this is my 1st year in college and I'm not scared of large projects"

And here's the kicker, I want more contributors to the GDB project. So, if you are interested in this at all, you can hit me up and I will do my best to help you get setup to contribute (from compiling locally, to setting up git-send-email, running tests) and then help you understand the bugs, the code, and how to make a good commit message (to GDB's standards anyway). I've literally done code-walks with other mentees in the past, I eager to share as much of my experience as you would like to have! and I do my best to be ADHD/autistic friendly, since I'm AuDHD myself and would have really loved a mentor that did that for me in the past...

So... yeah, don't be afraid to reach out!

In October we'll have the first dedicated conference for the Open Transport community in Vienna, and it's Call for Participation is now out: https://volkerkrause.eu/2025/05/24/open-transport-community-conference-2025-call-for-participation.html

#OpenTransport2025 #Transitous

🧵 There's been a lot of noise about Fedora "dropping X11" — with some dramatic headlines and confusion spreading.
As a FESCo member involved in the decision, I want to clarify what actually happened, what it means (and doesn't), and address some common worries.

@hywan
Great work!

You know what never gets old? Watching knowledge spread one @wikidata sitelink addition at a time.
Today there are already Wikipedia articles about Pope Leo XIV in 123 languages and if you watch the Wikidata Item's edit history you'll see when the next one gets written: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6109517

white smoke just came out of our router... this means that the DHCP conclave has ended and a new IP address has been selected

Finally, formatting in #Matrix that everyone else uses in #KDE's NeoChat!

@tsdgeos of #KDE fame getting interviewed at #QtWS25 and doing a good job telling you why you should contribute!

*That* #LibreGraphicsMeeting announcement is public now, so...
