Whenever I log on to the #Fediverse, it always feels #cozy for me! I wish I could get more friends to join though 🤔

Plasma 6.4 is out and it's' more welcoming than ever!

https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.4.0/

Check out the tweaked tiling that lets you have different layouts for every virtual desktop; the overhauled Spectacle that makes capturing your desktop faster; how KRunner now understands color; and in general the literally dozens of other fixes and features that make Plasma friendlier and easier to use.

KDE is part of the #EndOf10 campaign and we are on a mission to convert as many users over to Linux as we can.

This is the perfect time to ditch Windows and get the new and shiny Plasma 6.4 for your machine!

Check out the upcoming events where you can get Linux installed on your computer:

Update: it now looks like everything is mostly back online now. Yay! :D

Wow...several bits of #Disroot are appear to be completely down:

- XMPP
- LibreTranslate (~3 min. ago)
- Paste Bin
- Webchat
- FEdisroot
- Etherpad
- Their website
- DScribe
- Cryptpad
- Cloud

Everything else appears OK, and at least email is just partially degraded, but wow, something is up. It could also be just planned maintenance or something, I don't know. We'll see! :D

Uh oh. It seems like #Disroot is down right now. Let's hope they come back online soon!

I also did not realize there was a #PeerTube client for Roku. That's actually pretty sick!

EDIT: It looks like it hasn't seen an update in 5 years, but it's still pretty cool!

What's nice about Mastodon (and other fediverse platforms!) is that I can just launch an app and make a post to social media, bypassing having to fire up a web browser.

This works on machines like my mom's laptop (which I'm currently typing this on) because it saves a bit of time (at least in my opinion).

No way, the Gay Network Object Model Environment is woke 24/7? Holy based ???

Pride At GNOME

After some discussion about where to announce our Pride Month celebrations, I've decided it might be easiest to do it on my own blog. It's a little more personal that way. And if I say something silly or out of turn, it's on me. Let me begin by trying to explain why Pride feels particularly...
