I'd do that without a sigh :p

I'm surprised they don't mention how it compares to SuSE'S icecream (icecc) which has been the "better distcc" go-to for a long, long time.

You'll probably need to send a ticket to sysadmin to have that issue sorted out.

In that section, if you click the button to configure the Mouse Mark effect, you can see the shortcuts for clearing Mouse Mark:

  • Clear last mouse mark: Super + Shift + F12
  • Clear all mouse marks: Super + Shift + F11

Cinny supports custom emoji reactions and stickers, enough said :P

More seriously, yes. It looks very good, has the right amount of settings, and it's pretty intuitive. It doesn't do the silly thing Element does for stickers where you need to selfhost a webpage (for which I shall forever be salty about), you can just join a stickers room and enable stickers globally or just add stickers manually.

 

I'm curious to see what other furs are selfhosting.

The things I selfhost are:

  • Navidrome (music server)
  • SilverBullet (note taking with login access via website)
  • Synapse (Matrix server)
  • Cinny (Matrix client)
  • Uptime Kuma (simple uptime monitoring tool) (only internal)
  • Focalboard (project management) (only internal)
  • Caddy (reverse proxy to manage all other services)

I used to selfhost:

  • Nextcloud
  • Etherpad
  • wg-easy

While the summary + interview The Register did was decent, when you read the actual paper, the proposal is way more interesting.

Not a fan of mut instead of just plain mutable, though.

Also I sure hope the compiler messages for this feature won't be like the circle examples in the proposal in the end.

A small correction:

For example, there are Kirigami bindings for Python you can use to do a desktop/mobile app.

Kirigami is QML all the way, it doesn't need bindings since you'd be writing in QML either way. The Python part is about the actual business logic. :)

I was kinda surprised no one shared this here.

Konqi is KDE's mascot, lore here: https://community.kde.org/Konqi

Original text:

Ah.. I got distracted.

What if I drew Konqi in a similar style as Theo? Or both of them? Theo wouldn't understand anything since he lives in the wild but he would politely listen.

I been using KDE in the past year and been pretty happy with it.

I'd be curious to see a blog post in the future mentioning the challenges you might have faced making the dock work on Wayland, and what was needed for that.

When you search using the Starred filter, usually you get the main project at the top since that's the one with the most stars.

I added a KRunner web shortcut for this that automatically searches using that filter: https://rabbitictranslator.com/kfluff-web-shortcuts/

 

I always see:

  • people being told they can contribute to KDE with C++/QML
  • people being told they can contribute to KDE without code

But I don't often see:

  • people being told that they can contribute to KDE with code that is not C++

I like C++, QML, and even CMake, but you might not be interested in them or you might just not be willing to spend time learning another language, and that's perfectly fine.

In this blog post I list a few KDE projects that you might not know about that might be written in your preferred language or in a specialized format you have expertise or interest in.

By far, the most popular programming language actively used in KDE other than the expected languages is Python.

We also have stuff that would interest sysadmins (containers), packagers (snap/flatpak) and web developers.

Looks like an old bug with kscreen that could cause two screens to merge together and would be worked around exactly the same way you did. I used to have that whenever a blackout happened, but only with Plasma 5, and often on X11.

I made a free wallpaper of Konqi

You can download the 4k .png file on my ko-fi shop uwu Hope I'll be able to do more :3

 

From the Qt World Summit 2021, but it mentions cool things like avoiding unqualified access, string interpolation, interaction signals and object names.

Not sure about ?? and ?. though...

 

Cool stuff:

Qt 6.7 introduces convenience improvements for implementing typical RESTful/HTTP client applications. The goal was/is to reduce the repeating networking boilerplate code by up to 40% by addressing the small but systematically repeating needs in a more convenient way.

These include a new QHttpHeaders class for representing HTTP headers, QNetworkRequestFactory for creating API-specific requests, QRestAccessManager class for addressing small but often-repeating pieces of code, and QRestReply class for extracting the data from replies and checking for errors. QNetworkRequestFactory, QRestAccessManager, and QRestReply are released as Technical Previews in Qt 6.7.

 

Best resource I've seen out there for template basics. It even briefly mentions variadic templates, concepts that are easy to understand, auto in function parameters (a.k.a. abbreviated function templates) and how to find out what type is chosen when you do class template automatic deduction (CTAD).

I feel like this is an absolute must-watch if you want to know about modern template practices.

 

I quite liked this talk. Especially where Vincent talks about aggregate initialization, invariants and avoiding invalid values.

 

When I visit, for instance, https://pawb.social/post/1768987, I can't see the title formatted in Markdown. However, https://lemmy.kde.social/post/60846 shows up correctly (aside from the last cut part).
