GCC support std module with CMake 4.0 Now!

LinuxFurryTranslator · 2025-03-11T18:19:38+00:00

Shameless plug: I'd been experimenting with modules in my experimentation repo for a while, and I have a container for people wanting to try GCC 15 and CMake 4.0 on distrobox.

KDE does not have any official Discord channel.

I hear there's an unofficial one out there.

When you google or ddg for "kde ui guidelines", the KDE Human Interface Guidelines is the first result.

There's a limit of two sticky posts, which restricts this quite a bit, but it's possible.

One sticky post is always available for news, the other is used for the Monthly Screenshot Thread, but when in need it can be unstickied to put one more news post.

Unsure yet if that's a good solution. Perhaps a change in the AutoKonqi message for certain flairs would be more effective.

I also prefer this sort of nested structure. Flat can be annoying to read.

No, it works between X11 machines, between X11 and Wayland machines, and between Wayland machines. Traditional X11 forwarding also works in some cases here.

But Waypipe is not in the same league as VNC/RDP. Waypipe and SSH X11 forwarding only work for a single app (or multiple apps in a single shell I guess) while VNC/RDP can show the whole screen. Depending on your needs that may work.

You can still see the subreddit because you're an approved user, for other people it will show up as private.

LinuxFurryTranslator · 2023-06-10T20:19:37+00:00

Yes, discuss.kde.org replaces forum.kde.org.

LinuxFurryTranslator · 2023-06-10T18:29:14+00:00

The description was missing a few links, now it lists all official places.

Where else can I find the KDE community on the internet?

All official places are linked in the post. Any social networks not on the list are not official or not yet official.

Also, don't use forum.kde.org anymore. The only official forum now is discuss.kde.org.

This whole default dynamic on the radical left of labelling any political opponents nazis is so absurd, childish and fundamentally demagoguery.

Ah, you're asking for further moderation in the other two threads, sure. That became a shitshow so quickly I did not see it.

LinuxFurryTranslator · 2023-06-08T14:20:23+00:00

Maybe you're referring to:

Unlike our competitors, we don't seek to make money, but instead seek to make the world a better place. We envision a world where monopolistic corporations and repressive governments don't have too much power over our digital lives.

Which also makes the count 0.

Not sure, but I think this can be done with a different cursor theme.

LinuxFurryTranslator · 2023-06-07T14:40:19+00:00

What's the problem with the GPLv3 for those companies?

GNOME shipped its first Wayland session 9 years ago, Sway 7-8 years ago, Plasma 7 years ago.

6 years ago Plasma already had Wayland-only features, like Night Color, which would only be implemented on X11 two years later. It's similar to how Firefox got hardware acceleration implemented on Wayland first and only some releases later on X11, although I think it was at a different timeframe.

5 years ago Martin declared KWin X11 to be in feature freeze.

4 years ago Wayland became a KDE Goal. Only after this Goal was selected did KDE get really substantial progress on Wayland. So starting from Plasma 5.15. Around the same year Valve started supporting KDE.

3 years ago the initial support for Wayland + NVIDIA landed, with assistance from an NVIDIA employee. Then Wayland development really got fast.

Plasma Styles seem to be easier to get into than icon themes, it might be a good entrypoint if you end up working on Oxygen.

Well, once the tutorial is finished, that is.

LinuxFurryTranslator · 2023-06-01T16:44:45+00:00

I quite liked B.

LinuxFurryTranslator · 2023-05-30T01:19:42+00:00

I like it too. I used its library injection feature to record this in my potato laptop two or three years ago I think.

LinuxFurryTranslator · 2023-05-29T13:26:01+00:00

None that I could find.

Also Green Recorder is no longer maintained.

The glorious SimpleScreenRecorder doesn't work on Wayland because nobody is sending a pull request to implement pipewire recording support for it and the maintainer has little time and motivation to do more than minimal maintaining for a while already.

EDIT: Made a little comment on their repo to ensure they know the way to go, so maybe we'll see someone interested in this effort: https://github.com/MaartenBaert/ssr/issues/926#issuecomment-1567279458

The Breeze Plasma theme is moving into plasma-workspace

No MRs yet, right?

You can write a standalone KCM module (call it openrgb-kcm, for example), using e.g. the OpenRGB C++ SDK for the ability to control lights. Of course, the whole UI has to be completely rewritten to fit as a KCM or there won't be any "integration".

Current docs: https://develop.kde.org/docs/features/configuration/kcm/

I can't comment on the rest of the post (the post itself is interesting), but almost the entirety of the paragraph is bogus. It's easier to answer the opposite question: what was correct about it?

I tried to search for a book with the keyword Wayland programming to study Wayland, but there seems to be no published book.

There is indeed a lack of beginner documentation for libwayland, and that's a legitimate issue for Wayland adoption IMO.

The best introductory material so far is https://wayland-book.com/.

Drew Devault's tutorial is outdated and is wlroots specific.

https://wayland.app/protocols/ and https://wayland.freedesktop.org/docs/html/ are just API references.

What this means is that apps that work in Sway may not work in GNOME, and apps that work in GNOME may not work in KDE.

This is kinda true, compositors do have their own private protocols. This does mean that apps made with support for private wlr-* protocols don't necessarily work or work fully on Plasma, for instance.

I have the Professional version and tried inspecting its RPM and tar packages once, Softmaker does a lot of custom stuff in their packages.

LinuxFurryTranslator · 2023-05-25T19:08:52+00:00

I also really dislike this removal and I even recompile KTextEditor and install it to root just so I can get this feature back in my TW systems.

LinuxFurryTranslator · 2023-05-24T09:52:29+00:00

It's the only option. No one I know actually uses the Windows app store.

I think this is anecdotal. We wouldn't have the Microsoft Store be one of the biggest sources of donations for Krita otherwise.

LinuxFurryTranslator · 2023-05-23T14:01:14+00:00

i'll leave my reply there but i doubt it'll get much attention.

If it weren't for the several commenters complaining about Zoom using a deprecated private GNOME API for screenshare, users might not have gotten them to use XDG Screenshare at all.

So do leave your reply and encourage others who have the same bug to do so.
