Plasma 6.6 is now live!
In Plasma 6.6, Spectacle can read texts from screenshots; we trial-run our very own on-screen keyboard for touchscreens; and we have a new first-time wizard that let's users configure their passwords, timezones, keyboard and networks, on preinstalled systems; among many, many more marvelous things.

Daniel asks what #FreeSoftware #OpenSource could have been procured and developed with such sums and how you feel about when you see those numbers. He also fears this trend will continue.

Digital sovereignty requires #FreeSoftware.
What matters is not whether software is developed or sold by European vendors, but whether all users are allowed to use, study, share, and improve it. A stack is sovereign only if it is 100% #FreeSoftware, guaranteeing data sovereignty, the ability to adapt and switch providers, and full transparency.

I started migrating from #NextCloud to #Radicale, but iOS threw a spanner in the works (turns out accountsd only checks for A and not AAAA DNS records!) I decided to go into a "half-migrated" state: pointing myself to the new instance to continue testing while leaving my partner pointing to the old one.
That caused a problem: any events we created in the meantime wouldn't be synced to the other's devices.
vdirsyncer came in super handy and enabled a three-way sync between NextCloud, Radicale and my laptop! So, despite being on two completely different #CalDAV servers, we both see exactly the same state and all updates flow through seamlessly. And, when they switch instance, it will be like nothing ever happened, despite being on different servers for a few weeks.
Thank you #openStandards and #freeSoftware!
