KDE Plasma 6.1 has been released with a plethora of productivity and performance-minded improvements. Building on the KDE Plasma 6.0 release from earlier

OMG! Ubuntu

@avoidthehack @simplex @session @threemaapp @signalapp @briar @matrix @element Thanks. The most people I've onboarded has been on Signal, followed by Matrix on Element.

I also had a good experience testing @Jami. Apparently, it can work without servers, relays, etc.

There's also @cwtch - not sure if it's fully ready though.

@karl @Cochise @gustavo22soares @gbrlpires @vitoranguia Já eu trabalho mais com #XMPP tanto por ser um dos únicos que é padrão internacional de comunicação, ser extensível (via #XEP, que usa processo de aprovação comunitário), ter #XEPs de recomendação quase todos os anos desde 2018, e pelo #XMPP ser recomendado pelo #ePING 2018 do #Brasil / #Brazil. Mais argumentos estão em https://libreplanet.org/wiki/XMPP.pt . Todavia, posso usar #IRC, #WebRTC (via qualquer instância #Jitsi) ou #GNU #Jami / #GNUJami .
