Unfortunately, This Week in KDE Apps will again be published on Monday instead of Sunday. I didn't manage to find time enough time to work on it this weekend.

Meanwhile if you missed it, the Plasma part from Nate is here: https://blogs.kde.org/2024/11/23/this-week-in-plasma-battery-charge-cycles-in-info-center/

To everyone when they see horrible privacy news about Microsoft replying with:

"I don't care, I use Linux"

Sure, you do. But does your medical clinic do? Does your therapist do? Does your family member typing a personal email to you in Word before sending it do too?

This is a systemic problem.

You cannot protect your own data only by using Linux yourself. You must also demand stronger regulations and enforcement to obligate organizations around to protect your data as well.

Dear unnamed software maintainer,

I don't care who you are, what your background/mindset is, how well-written/documented your code is, or how many people can contribute to it on their own without your help.

Some people need a hand. I do. I'm blind. And if you're the one who got banned from the FDO for toxic behaviour, you have no right to call me a retard or tell me to sink or swim when I ask you for help fixing a bug in your code.

they're knowingly harboring an infamous techbro transphobe, bryan lunduke, and refused to do anything about it when people pointed that out. in addition to not having any instance rules against transphobia period. so it's clear the admin doesn't give a fuck and this is a dangerous instance worth defederating

okay, I finally found a good use for an LLM. no, really.

So, 86box has gotten General Modem Emulation in 4.2, and you can absolutely dial up with SLIP to access the internet over SLiRP, and it absolutely works.

Dialog Boxes you have not seen in Quite Some Time, volume 5.
