I am a long-term #KDEPIM user and recently read that due to progress in #SQLite’s performance #Akonadi is now defaulting to that DB on a fresh install.

A few days ago I took the chance and ran `akonadi-db-migrator --newengine sqlite` and it was both painless and I definitely see both lower resource consumption and the PIM suite seems much snappier too!

@ervin, I see you’ve been at #Akademy and held a #KDEPIM BoF.

There was a topic on how to gather more info from users.

As an avid user of #KMail, #KOrganizer and #Zanshin, I have (quite) some feedback and bug reports to provide. But whenever I try to, it seems to end up in the void.

I think a first step would be concentrate on the number of communication channels that devs can actually manage. For both their sanity and the users’.

1/🧵

#Zanshin (残心) in #Zen and #Japanese #MartialArts denotes a state of sustained, relaxed awareness before, during, and after action. Unlike episodic #mindfulness, zanshin emphasizes continuity and integration, reflecting Buddhist teachings on undivided attention and processual reality.

There are some, but I'm not sure if that's exactly what you are looking for. In my opinion, they are good.

It’s been such an honour to have been the designer of the European Kendo Championship 2025. The final little treat is something I’m truly looking forward to: turning the top three photo submissions into original artwork for Zanshin magazine.

Can’t wait to see your beautiful entries! 💙
