Lemmy is missing from the main KDE site, who knows how to add it? in c/kde@lemmy.kde.social
[–] Bro666@lemmy.kde.social 37 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

We're on it. We have to remove some stuff (namely x/Twitter) and a add a bunch of new stuff. Thanks for the reminder though.

Edit: W e would like to apologise and thank you for your patience in stuff like this. We are understaffed in the promotion and communication department (besides, modifying public websites can only be carried out by people with the proper permissions for logical reasons), and we often have to put off stuff that is not a top priority. We are currently working on making sure the fundraiser stays on track and the announcement for KDE Gear coming out next week.

Again, thank you for your patience.

ISO Image Writer, Partition Manager, SkanPage and System Monitor added to the list of adoptable apps. in c/kde@lemmy.kde.social
[–] Bro666@lemmy.kde.social 2 points 8 months ago

If you donate €50 or more to our fundraiser, you get to put your name down as "adopting" (i.e. supporting) an app you can choose from the list on the fundraiser landing page. Your name (or nickname, or social media handle, or whatever you choose) will stay on the app's apps.kde.org until KDE Gear 25.04 is released in April next year.

Looks like the donation notification is working. in c/kde@lemmy.kde.social

kde is not in a great place financially

To be fair, KDE will probably never be in a great place financially, as it is a truly "by the people, for the people" kind of project. Not having big backers that may want to influence its directions is by design. That comes at a cost.

We are at 99% of our first fundraising goal! Will your donation push us over the finishing line? And will you do it today?!??! in c/kde@lemmy.kde.social
[–] Bro666@lemmy.kde.social 1 points 8 months ago

Yes. Send me a DM with the name you used to donate so we can locate the donation, and the name you would like us to use to credit you and we will get it done.

This thread rocks. You folks are getting into recycling hardware deep. This is so encouraging. Keep you advice and experiences coming.

GCompris: recognising dice pattern (infosec.pub)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.kde.social/post/1066727

Using dices in elementary school to play mathematical games allows to train logic and strategy. Before that, dice patterns need to be learned. "Number with dice" helps pupils in preschool to quickly count the dots present on a dice and offers practice to train dice patterns recognition, preparing children for the elementary school.

WARNING: Global themes and widgets created by 3rd party developers for Plasma can and will run arbitrary code. You are encouraged to exercise extreme caution when using these products. (lemmy.kde.social)

A user has had a bad experience installing a global theme on Plasma and lost personal data.

Global themes do not only change the look of Plasma, but also the behavior. To do this they run code, and this code can be faulty, as in the case mentioned above. The same goes for widgets and plasmoids.

We are calling on the community to help us locate and quarantine defective software by using the "Report" buttons available on each item in the KDE Store.

Please see this linked image to locate them.

Meanwhile, KDE is taking measures to properly warn users before each download and we are also putting in place ways of auditing and curating what is uploaded to the KDE store.

Nevertheless, this will take time and resources. We recommend all users to be careful when installing and running software not provided directly by KDE or your distros.

And remember to report any faulty products you find!
