This week I’d like to highlight a very cool development: the automatic crash reporting facility in the Plasma 6 version of our venerable DrKonqi crash report wizard. Automatic reporting is op…

    In addition to everything listed here, there’s something big that I can’t mention yet since it’s not 100% merged yet, but only 95%! Hopefully next week. 🙂 So stay tuned for that!

    The Power and Battery widget now responds to middle-clicks and scrolls: middle-click will block or re-enable automatic sleep and screen locking, and scrolling will change the active power profile

    Scrolling on the battery applet is how I adjust my brightness. Is that no longer a thing?

      There’s now a separated luminosity applet that will change brightness if you scroll on it (normally, didn’t check, I’m on my phone).

    I don’t mean to sound like an a-hole, but when will the KDEConnect’s ever-appearing “accept” pop-up when remote-mousing work properly?

    EDIT (MONTHS LATER): IT WORKS PERFECTLY NOW ❤️

      There’s still a bunch of little bugs in KDE6, they’ll get ironed out over time. For the KDE connect bug I use a ydotool command to emulate an enter key press to accept the remote command access from my bed.

          The command itself isn’t complex:

          YDOTOOL_SOCKET="$HOME/.ydotool_socket" ydotool key 28:1 28:0

          The hard part is getting ydotool to run on boot for your user (no sudo). I had to create a bash script to run on login with the following line:

          ydotoold --socket-path="$HOME/.ydotool_socket" --socket-own="$(id -u):$(id -g)"

          It’s a bit hacky but it works.

    Apparently in Lemmy you can’t post a URL and an image 🤷.

      Yea it’s one or the other, so that it federates nicely

      What I do is link the URL in the main post (to get a thumbnail, and because that’s what people expect), and the image in the post body. You can insert it like this

      ![alt text](image URL)

        Ah I see it’s just Lemmy failing to get the thumbnail that I was trying to fix. I guess it’s just something in Lemmy’s code.
