Right. Enough suspense.

I've joined up with @kde as an Accessibility Engineer.
You know *exactly* what that means, and yes - the coffee and C++ muscle memory is ready.
Hello, #KDE community :)
Spotify Connect is great, but controlling your media playback trough GSConnect and the MPRIS Label extension on Gnome is another level of great.

I've been using #KMail for years, but as part of the larger #Kontact app (which gives you Outlook like functionality (contacts, calendar & more)). The interface has not changed over the years.
The idea of identities been different to the accounts allows you to (for example) separate work and personal. For example with each identity you can set up a different signature, and which email address / SMTP server it uses. However the setup for this does need work and is initially confusing for new users.
Note I recently tried #Thunderbird and hated it - I use keyboard short-cuts and TB's were browser-based and not email based (eg CTRL-R / CTRL-U for mark read / unread). I found no way of changing them while being #KDE, that is always an option in #Kmail.
Just curious, does anybody use #KDE #Kmail?
I'm just toying around with the idea of switching my work machine from Debian to KDE Neon to get super-up-to-date KDE programs, and I wonder how usable KMail would be as an alternative to #Thunderbird (which I still really like).
It's super annoying that #macOS has much, much fewer customization options than #KDE Plasma. Even a simple option like enabling wrapping around the virtual desks ("spaces") is not available, and the only way to enable that is to pay for a third-party app.
CLI is a better world. I installed the latest version of #Bash via #Homebrew. Now I can use all my Bash scripts.

Could anyone spare a "Like" for these kids who are trying to plant some seeds of Open Source in the USA Midwest?
In Kdenlive, "zones" refers to a specific regions of a clip that can be used for editing or rendering.
The beginning of a zone is set by pressing the "I" key (in-point), and the end of a zone is set by pressing the "O" key (out-point).
You can also use the "Monitor → Set Zone In" and "Monitor → Set Zone Out" in the menu options.
"Shift-I" inserts the zone into the project bin.
I have been using the Falkon browser for a couple of weeks, and it is pretty good. http://falkon.org

Work on the KDE Plasma desktop sounds like it continues to go very well, with some really important bug fixes arriving to make the experience a lot nicer. My favourite Linux desktop environment and what powers the Desktop Mode on Steam Deck.

Auch wieder das gelernt:
Es reicht in #kde einen Web-Link aus einem Text/E-Mail/... auf den Starter eines Browsers bspw. im Task-Plasmoid zu ziehen, um die Webseite in diesem Browser zu starten. Geil!
