This old dog has learned a new trick keyboarding for #MissionAssist.
There are many types of Apostrophe, & even the descriptions are confusing.
In the screenshot we see that the apostrophe on your keyboard is coded as U+0027, but the note says that U+2019 is preferred for apostrophe.
On my #PCLinuxOS#Linux system running #KDE, to type U+2019 I use the Compose key:
<Multi_key> <greater> <apostrophe> : "?" U2019 # RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
Mine is set to Right Alt on my US Keyboard.
Trying out #Tokodon on the desktop, since I'm gradually shifting back to #KDE these days. So far it's...alright?
I've always loved the idea of a Fediverse client that integrates nicely with the desktop, while offering full access to whatever features that platform gives you. But, I'm hard pressed to find a client that does everything I want. 😅
Who should be software packaging is a tough problem, I can see the value in #linux distros pushing for better changes downstream, encouraging upstream to change (double click in #KDE) but then I see cases like KeepassXC where the Debian package is now by default broken, actively damaging the reputation of upstream but then I remember #XZ where upstream was left unchecked and hid bad code in plain sight and I go back around in a circle.
A new feature I absolutely love in @neochat is that the message delegates now offer a full previews of the file you send. Here is for example a markdown file with Markdown syntax highlighting! The same works with train tickets or any other types of tickets that KDE Itinerary can consume.
For those wanting to try them out it's a matter of setting up a #haikuports repository and import those recipes. Mind you, the full frameworks for KDE on #HaikuOS are 137 packages.
In the meantime, #KDevelop and #Itinerary updated locally to latest beta 24.04.90 :)
In the screenshot, KDevelop building latest sources for itinerary/kosmindoormap.
Tldr: pass the env variable XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 to discord command
This way it's finally possible to open the share screen without it going on a loop forever with asking for you to select a thing to share with the xwaylandvideobridge!
FOSS - ensuring even new hardware stays in use when vendor-support eventually ends!
Whether or not you install GNU/Linux on it today, your new #Mac will eventually lose #Apple support. Thanks to the impressive work of #Asahi#Linux project (@AsahiLinux), it will not need to end up in the landfill once it does.
Damn yeah. Finally fixed the pin entry program to actually use the secret service on #linux#kde#plasma and to stop asking all the time for the password for signing commits.
It seems a somewhat recent breaking change, since this worked before. Anyway, someone had already written about it on #archlinux wiki.
Tldr: after setting the pin entry program on gpg-agent config to use the qt version, we need to change the gpg-agent service to have XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP as anything but "kde".
@winterschon I installed #KDE Neon on a #Thinkpad P14s and everything worked out of the box including WiFi, power management, the printer, and the fingerprint reader. Fantastic experience
New at #HaikuOS / #HaikuPorts, #KDE#markdown 23.08.5, a nice plugin that let's you preview your markdown files while editing them in #Kate (and others).
Okay, this is a question for #Linux desktop enthusiasts out there. I'm getting real tired of the spotty fractional scaling in GNOME so I'm looking to replace it with #KDE. What are some themes/ways you've managed to make your desktop look beautiful?
