Hey there,

I used to have a command run 10 seconds after the screen is locked which turned all displays off. I can't find the option to run a command when the screen locks anymore.

I'm a newbie and am using kubuntu. I've installed a widget called plasma fancy clock. I rotated the widget on the screen to fit with the wallpaper (brick lines of a tilted wall) but realized that the angle I wanted was between non-rotated and the smallest angle I could rotate. Could someone please give me some advice? Maybe a certain file that I can input the accurate angle into (have been searching but can't find anywhere)?

I've been looking for a way to update my KDE connect binary on my Mac and realised that the binary-factory.kde.org was gone.

Found the new site at kde.org but I fail to find the updated MacOS binaries now.

Can anyone help? Thank you

Theme developers, please check out this:

Am on NixOS if that has anything to say in the matter.
