The system automatically lock some accounts after a long period of inactivity. Can you send an email to sysadmin@kde.org with your account username?
For me it's definively the new overview effect, I already use it all the time on my Plasma dev session.
Is there a dedicated page tracking updates specifically to KDE Connect?
It is part of KDE Gear, so generally in the gear release announcement. The last few releases were not that big in term of feature but the next one includes some goodies.
Does Connect use BTLE?
KDE Connect will have the Bluetooth backend enabled by default with the next gear release (24.02). I'm not sure if this is BTLE or normal Bluetooth.
Could you guys implement an auto tethering option between phone/PC?
No idea :(
How instant are notifications synced?
For me it is pretty instant. I never miss my Bereal notifications thanks to it :)
Do notifications disappear on one side or the other when viewed on one or the other platform?
Yes
Maybe implement a “link to KDE” notification toggle to mirror the “link to windows” functionality of Android?
No idea :(
For me personally, it's the updated breeze theme. But I might not be completely objective here, since I drove this effort quite a lot :)
Some screenshots to see the difference: https://invent.kde.org/websites/product-screenshots/-/merge_requests/51/diffs
In addition to that Josh said, we have a list of mobile friendly first party applications here: https://plasma-mobile.org/ It's not completely up to date and is missing some newer additions.
I donate periodically to KDE, but my major gripe is that I don’t know where the money is going. They have no financial reports that can be easily found
The yearly reports of the KDE e.V. can be found in https://kde.org/community/donations/
individual projects don’t have a donation button
this is because giving money individually to a KDE subproject is a lot of logistic and unless the project is big and receive a lot of money, the amount collected for the individual project won't be enough to do anything meaningful for the project. But we had a trial with Kdenlive specific fundraising, which worked reasonably well last year so maybe we will see more subprojects specific fundraising in the future.
there’s no public tracking of their income or expenditure like on opencollective
yeah aside from the graphs in https://ev.kde.org/reports/ev-2022/#working-groups_ we don't publish detailed logs of every single transactions as they contain private details like how much our contractors are getting paid. KDE e.V. is a registered non-profit in Germany and the tax offices is very vigilant that nothing weird happens.
it’s not easy to find KDE devs (aka who is actually on the KDE team) so that one could sponsor individual devs
This developers accepting donations often have this info on their website. It's also possible to find KDE related people on liberapay https://liberapay.com/search?q=kde
Yes but not only. Various other components inherit from QFrame and had by default a frame.
Yes, sorry I was away on a conference for the ladt 3 days and I broke the ui jusr before leaving...
It would be great to have and I actually started writing tiny bit of code for this, but unfortunately my bandwidth is already saturated with maintaining merkuro, tokodon, neochat and a bunch of other apps.
But if someone is interested in writing an app, I'll be happy to help a bit.
Just remove the following files to reset Akonadi:
~/.local/share/akonadi/
~/.config/akonadi/*.dat
And then just restart akonadi with akonadictl restart
We are basing Merkuro Mail on kmail, and this is the current look of it.
People can test it by just running merkuro-mail from the CLI with 23.08 or even with 23.04 already by enabling it the config file. This is still WIP and some important feature like being able to send emails are still worked on. We need some helping hands so if people want to join our Matrix room is #merkuro:kde.org :)
Looks great 👍
