In addition to everything listed here, there’s something big that I can’t mention yet since it’s not 100% merged yet, but only 95%! Hopefully next week. 🙂 So stay tuned for that!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The Power and Battery widget now responds to middle-clicks and scrolls: middle-click will block or re-enable automatic sleep and screen locking, and scrolling will change the active power profile
Scrolling on the battery applet is how I adjust my brightness. Is that no longer a thing?
There's now a separated luminosity applet that will change brightness if you scroll on it (normally, didn't check, I'm on my phone).
Apparently in Lemmy you can't post a URL and an image 🤷.
Yea it's one or the other, so that it federates nicely
What I do is link the URL in the main post (to get a thumbnail, and because that's what people expect), and the image in the post body. You can insert it like this
Ah I see it's just Lemmy failing to get the thumbnail that I was trying to fix. I guess it's just something in Lemmy's code.
Oh that is odd, and it might be related to your instance because the thumbnail is showing up on lemmy.ca
Here is the post on each instance:
Yeah, looks to be an instance specific bug I guess. Hopefully it can get addressed soon. I think the thumbnail helps with drawing people's attention to posts.
You can use the text field to drop an image link.
I don't mean to sound like an a-hole, but when will the KDEConnect's ever-appearing "accept" pop-up when remote-mousing work properly?
EDIT (MONTHS LATER): IT WORKS PERFECTLY NOW ❤️
There's still a bunch of little bugs in KDE6, they'll get ironed out over time. For the KDE connect bug I use a ydotool command to emulate an enter key press to accept the remote command access from my bed.
That's a great workaround, could you share the command?
The command itself isn't complex:
YDOTOOL_SOCKET="$HOME/.ydotool_socket" ydotool key 28:1 28:0
The hard part is getting ydotool to run on boot for your user (no sudo). I had to create a bash script to run on login with the following line:
ydotoold --socket-path="$HOME/.ydotool_socket" --socket-own="$(id -u):$(id -g)"
It's a bit hacky but it works.
Thank you, I didn't know about ydotool, I'll get it working on openSuse
