@mntmn @kde You seems to be missing qqc2-desktop-style which would explain the broken "Show more information" button

@aral @kde Here some before screenshots of Kate and Dolphin. I should probably add that to my blog post. My patch is 200 lines long and I'm impressed how much this change the look.

Don't like all these frames in @kde's QtWidget apps? Me neither, so here is my proposal to remove them in #Plasma6 😎

@aral Unfortunately you will have an hard time finding an open source company not selling their tech to the defense industry/police... They are often the most interested in this sort of technology and then you already have trouble to pay your employees you don't have the privileged to be picky. Source I have worked in an open source company and I'm familiar with the business model of a a few others.

I hate android sometimes, please let me install my own app 😬

Redesigned contact editor and contact viewer for Kalendar :D

Some says that Microsoft changed and that they now like and even support Linux but instead they continue pushing their old Embrace, Extend, Extinghish mentra and have now made it possible to have linux programs able to use the native D3D12 interface on Linux but only inside WSL. 😩 #windows #wsl https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/directx-heart-linux/ https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/d3d12-gpu-video-acceleration-in-the-windows-subsystem-for-linux-now-available/

Arianna library view got some nice improvements today on my way back home after #FOSDEM. There is now a global search bar and the extraction of series and book genres is now way better.

@rysiek KDE https://invent.kde.org/ :)

Interesting github broke all the checksums of their tags because they wanted to save 2% CPU time while making git archive creation 17% slower for everyone else instead of just caching the release archive a bit longer... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34587884

oh and they managed to bring down so much infra that relied on stable checksums at the same time because they never guaranteed "the stability of checksums for automatically generated archives." https://github.blog/changelog/2023-01-30-git-archive-checksums-may-change/ 🤡

This patch did not at all escalate 🤣 But now I have 33% test coverage on the C++ backend and fixed and refactored a bunch of things along the way.

Btw if someone is interested, I will try to mentor for Season of KDE (https://season.kde.org/) someone to add UI test and improve the accessibility of Tokodon. This would be based on https://apachelog.wordpress.com/2022/12/14/selenium-at-spi-gui-testing/ and could be a good occasion for someone who wants to get involved in KDE and who might want to get some extra help to get started ;)
