Hello! I moved from .ART, and I guess this forces me to update my #introduction 
I'm a digital #artist and a software developer. I'm probably known for the new drawing tablet features in the #KDE Plasma 6.x series. I also co-maintain the KDE's Mastodon client Tokodon and their Matrix client NeoChat.
While I slowly re-post my old stuff, all of my work can be found on my website: redstrate.com/
I’m known as redstrate and I’m a software engineer, KDE developer and artist. I like taking apart things, drawing and more. This website here is both my portfolio and a place to archive the things I’ve made.redstrate.com
KDE Plasma 6.6 has arrived with major upgrades.

The release also includes a new color blindness filter, an on-screen keyboard, and better high refresh rate display handling.Sourav Rudra (It's FOSS)

Qué barbaridad lo de Plasma. Increíble la cantidad de novedades, grandes y pequeñas, en 6.6.
Plasma 6.6 bringt einfachere Bedienung und nützliche Funktionen
Die KDE-Entwickler haben Plasma 6.6 veröffentlicht. Es soll einfachere Bedienung bieten, ohne an Flexibilität einzubüßen.

In Woche 7 war in der FOSS-Welt einiges los. Von LineageOS über KDE zu Thunderbird.

❤️ At the Berlin #ilovefs event I could give a small cake to @kde 's @AleixPol as a small sign of appreciation, thanking him and #KDE for their great work for #softwarefreedom. ❤️
❤️ Today a special thanks to all the #KDE #maintainers!! ❤️
Found on reddit, I thought I should share it here too 😀
Also mal ehrlich, für 500 Millionen Lizenz kosten hatten die auch ein IT firma Gründen konnen, im besitzt vom Bund, die voll zeit für an #foss arbeitet bzw beim #kde e.V. oder #libreoffice hilft.
Using #macOS and other apple ecosystem exclusive apps has ruined Windows for me in a way.
Like... outside of web clients like #Elk, there doesn't seem to be any good #Windows clients for #Mastodon. I tried #Tokodon by #KDE, but it's broken on Windows. It doesn't load icons...
Anyone know of Mastodon clients? Thank you!
Ich freue mich, dass ich die Gelegenheit bekomme, unsere Erfahrungen der letzten 25 Jahre mit #Linux, #KDE, #GOVFOSS, unseren Problemen und Erfolgen mit Interessierten auf

My only gripe is that increasing the font size is not in accessibility settings, but in display settings. Not very intuitive.

Was ist das denn für ein Ratschlag? Bis Ende Oktober 2026 noch bei #windows10 bleiben. Und dann? Alter Verwalter. Warum dann nicht direkt auf #linux umsteigen? Ja, ich weiß, alles ganz schlimm bei #linux. Alles gefrickel usw. Ich bin auf #Debian/sarge gewechselt, als das noch Testing war. Und habe nie Probleme gehabt. Ob #KDE, #Gnome, oder #i3 (reiner Fenstermanager)

When I copy coordinates in digiKam, it formats the coordinates like:
12,50266°E, 41,91712°N
But this format is not recognized by OSM, nor Google Maps. Does anyone know if it is possible to change the coordinates format in digiKam?

¿Soy yo o es que #Okular se durmió en sus laureles desde 3 años atrás?
En 2014, fue una de las principales razones por las que me moví de GNOME a KDE Plasma, no había un software decente para leer/anotar formatos de documento portables, desarrollado en GTK. Xournal++ es excelente (lo sigo usando) pero en casos de uso diferentes.
Hoy, creo que Okular es de lo menos destacable entre los programas de base en #KDE #Plasma

My first attempt at properly editing something on #kdenlive I've edited simple stuff shot on my phone but this is raw LOG footage from my cinema camera and applying LUTs I've created from power grades developed in Davinci Resolve. Hoping to share something soon! I was thinking about sharing the LUTs if anyone is interested.

Not everyone will be happy with this.Sourav Rudra (It's FOSS)
For the last decade, the #EU has been funding #Mastodon #KDE #Phosh #Nextcloud #OnlyOffice #PixelFed, #Libreoffice, #CryptPad, #Kdenlive, #Lemmy and many other Open Source projects you know and love through its #NextGenerationInternet programme.
But now that programme is ending and they are thinking about its successor.
They want to hear from you on what it should look like: Share your feedback to make sure the Commission keep funding amazing Open Source projects!

#TIL that you can rip an audio CD in #KDE just by opening it in dolphin and copying out the folder named for the format you want it in.
These are a set of virtual folders that represent the formats supported by your system to rip them into.
How cool is that?

#howTo
#linux #debian #ubuntu #ubuntuStudio #KDE #Keybind #shortcuts #keyMapping #Umlaute
To be able to use the option to compose letters for example the german Umlaute "ä, ö, ü" or the spanisch "ñ" you have to activate the compose key option in the system settings menu. Once you have defined and activated a key on the keyboard for that specific purpose, you can compose the letters by combining respective or similar symbols with it while pressing the compose key.
Example:
["]+[composeKey] and than [u] => ü
[~]+[composeKey] and than [n] => ñ
[']+ [composeKey] and than [e] => é
#howTo
#linux #debian #ubuntu #ubuntuStudio #KDE #Keybind #shortcuts #keyMapping
How to (re)map keys.
In the case of a #keyboard at hand there are two keys (down arrow and right arrow) that don't work anymore.
Solved this with (re)assigning the arrow up and arrow left keys in combination with the ALT key:
[ArrowUp]+[ALT] = arrow down
[ArrowLeft]+[ALT] = arrow right
The commands in the [Action] box are respectively Down and Right.

#howTo set a keyboard key to turn the screen off.
Creating a shortcut in settings -> shortcuts -> power management -> turn off screen doesn't work correctly.
To solve this create a customized shortcut:
Settings -> custom shortcuts -> EDIT - new -local shortcut - command
Enter as command line:
sleep 1; xset dpms force off
[sleep 1] delays command. This apparently solves the problem.
