Can Filelight analyze MTP devices (Android phone)?

I was trying to analyze my phone’s storage through Filelight, but it just gets frozen after I select the phone’s folder. I didn’t find anything in Bugzilla regarding this problem....

After a long period of inactivity, I finally did some work on Merkuro Calendar this evening!

I mostly fixed some small bugs but I also replace the custom DatePicker implementation with the new one from Kirigami Addons.

Also the popup is now shared across the whole app instance, so it doesn't slow down the creating of the event editor anymore.

Do you know about KNOME already? It was the nice Aprils fools we did a few years ago with #GNOME and #KDE. While we lost the original domain, I still host a version of it on my server.

I did a bunch more changes for Marknote today 😜

We can now export to HTML and PDF (thanks to the almost built-in support in Qt!). There is also a command bar like in Merkuro to quickly find and execute some commands and a lot of small bugfixes and cosmetics changes :)

Made some further changes to Marknote, the new rich text editor from KDE, today :)

Now with support for images, links and check-boxes as well as an overhaul of all the dialogs. 😍 Another release is planned soon ;)

Dear Fediverse,

I have a domain, say "example.net" and I want to setup a couple of redirects so that "example.net/awesome" redirects to "foobar.com/something"

I don't want to manage a server or nginx config for this.

I currently use Gandi Web Forwarding but it doesn't support HTTPS.

Any recommendation for something as low maintenance as possible?

Kai wrote a wonderful retrospective of the early Plasma 5 days. It's great to see from where we come from and how much progress we did over the years!

From Microsoft about the Redis licensing change 🤡

> By embracing source-available licenses, Redis aims to foster a more inclusive and sustainable ecosystem that encourages collaboration and innovation. These licenses ensure that developers have access to the latest Redis technologies while also preserving the integrity of the open-source community.
