This Week in Plasma explains how we deal with post-release issues in the wake of Plasma 6.3—and how more testers are needed, and lists the UI improvements arriving in 6.3.1, and the new features lined up for 6.4.0. and beyond.

Plasma 6.3 is here... and it's Pixel Perfect!

One year on from Plasma 6.0, and this is what you can expect in your next update: massive steps in the support and configuration of drawing tablets, pixel perfect window placing and zoom, extended hardware monitoring, even more customization possibilities, and so much more.

KStars, KDE's full-featured app for #astronomy aficionados, releases version 3.7.5.

Although mainly a bugfix version, KStars v3.7.5 boasts a couple of interesting new features, like the dome slit visualization on sky map, video sequence capture, and enhanced scheduler loading and settings management.

If you are curious about the universe you live in or are into astrophotography, get KStars now.

It's an oldish HP Spectre with a foldable touchscreen from 2018.

Actually works very well.

That would be one of KDE Connects' main functions, yes. It makes sharing any kind of file (photos, videos, whatever) easy.

You can also share the content of your clipboard from your desktop to your phone and vice versa. So you would copy, say, a web address on your desktop, and you would be able to paste it into your web browser on your phone immediately.

Note that due to unforeseen circumstances, we have been unable to ship the new wallpaper, "Reef", with this version of Plasma. However, a new wallpaper will be coming soon in the next 6.2 version of Plasma.

If you can't wait, you can download "Reef" from here:

Apple had to learn the hard way: Under the DMA (thanks @EUCommission !) they were forced to give users a choice regarding the default search engine and browser on their systems.

What are we going to do about Microsoft misleading users?

@rochacbruno @kde@lemmy.kde.social It's the same. Money goes either way to us with more or less the same cut by the payment provider, so it depends on which payment method you prefer.
