We know you've been waiting for this - another update on our Usability & Productivity goal!
Thanks to the efforts of our developers, you'll be able to precisely adjust the panel height, and move Dolphin's Terminal pane to any part of the window.

As you can see, it's been a busy week! And we'll keep on working. #KDEgoals ⚙️

That moment when you check Tails Linux for updates but forget to switch your browser to Private Browsing mode.

Will be changed for only the one that opt-in in the telemetry.
I just love the irony ...

Gonna stay away from Twitter for a while, gonna give Mastodon and Minds a bit more love.

And the worst part is, udisks2 depends on Python, which simply makes it broken by design.
So YAPC::NA has finished, there's been a ton of neat talks uploaded to the Youtube page, and my favourite, as often is the case, is Damian Conway's Vim talk:

So two weeks ago I put #opensuse on a 14 year old machine...
With 70G HDD, 512M RAM, and a single core 1600Mhz CPU.
I basically had to create a base system in a VM and copy it over onto the laptop.
