"This Week in Plasma" brings the news that Plasma 6.5.0 will _probably_ have picture-in-picture support under Wayland, that you will be able to re-order your virtual desktops, and that Spectacle will clearly tell you how to stop a screen recording (among many other things).

Very proud to be a part of the Fediverse on days like this. Didn’t see a single stupid post about his stupid, fascist parade today and my timeline is FILLED with posts, images and videos of the #nokings counter protests.

You keep doing you, Mastodon. You’re alright. 👍🖖

JFC, how “Liberal!”

We need to stop this phony “news” paper once and for all. (The #BrokenNYTimes, as @jeffjarvis dubbed it.)

Can’t Trump make A.G. Sulzberger the Ambassador to Pago Pago, or somewhere as stylish. It’s not like journalism will miss him.
