Let's play a game.

Don't say PowerPoint presentation, say slidedeck
Don't say Word, say text document
Don't say Photoshop, say image editing
Don't say Excel, say spreadsheet
Don't say...

Language is important. When corporate companies own the names of the tasks or the digital items you create, you have become a cog in their branding machine.

New position statement from a large cross-section of the #OpenSource community (including both @osi and @fsfe) with final comments about what's wrong with the #CRA - tl;dr:

"legal responsibility should only be on commercial entities supplying the software in the course of a commercial activity"

Did you know #postmarketOS has been shipping nightly built #Plasma6 packages for a while now? It has been useful so far for #plasma developers to develop and make #PlasmaMobile Qt6 ready, but it's also a great way for more experienced users to help test out KDE and catch bugs early!

Details to enable it for yourself can be found at https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Nightly

WARNING: only for experienced users, things can break any day!

In the spirit of nightly images, I've also built #postmarketOS #Plasma6 rc1 images for a few devices (and will do rc2 next week)!

You can get them from https://nightly.postmarketos.org/plasma-mobile/images/rc1/, install them like you do for any prebuilt image for that device (instructions are in the wiki).

KDE releases today Plasma Mobile 6. Check out its renewed base system and apps.

This version comes with a new and improved shell, a new home screen with heaps of new features, enhancements of the base system, improvements in apps like Clock, Kasts and Photos, and much more.
