I really love these update posts, thank you a lot!

The PR/ communication from the KDE team is absolutely great, and I can't wait til the new stuff will arrive on Fedora!

KDE is getting even better and better each update, it's amazing! Thank you for your hard work! 💚

Not sure if anyone uses the feature but I love being able to assign colors to files individually with that dot on macOS I’d life to see it in Plasma too

[–] huskypenguin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Yes. I'd love that. I'd like it even more if they went back to snow leopard style and color the entire line when in detail view.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social it's nice to see folders colors included in Plasma 6.4

Hey, sorry for being out of the loop. Do we have an estimate for the 6.4 release?

Meet Ritchie Frodomar (scroll down), a legally blind developer who is in charge of bringing KDE's software up to shape on the accessibility front.

That was a very informative read. Wish I has the coding skills to support!

I saw that MouseKeys for Wayland got merged. Is there any chance we can do more scriptable bindings in the future? I'd love to see things like "hitting 2 jumps to this x,y pair", "hitting 9 goes 75px down and 75px left", etc

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Just curious, does Windows suspend sleep while copying something?

@fell @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social
Is it related to the OP at all?
I don't think so, but maybe...

Do you know if the major issue with QTWebEngine will be fixed so that KMail/Kontact and Falkon will work again?

[–] Bro666@lemmy.kde.social 4 points 1 day ago

This is completely unrelated to the topic at hand and not a KDE issue, but... It has been solved: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-135786
