After years of Terminator and months of Tilix, Konsole 19.08 has become my default terminal program for coding.

Thank you for the great tiling support, #KDE devs! @kde

#KDE is tragically outdated in #Debian. Even Debian unstable is still stuck at 5.14, lagging two releases behind all the other distros.
Are there unresolved packaging issues, or is this WAI?
@kde
@debian

I've been testing rawhide on my laptop for a few months now, and it's been stable and usable for the entire time (though I'm using #KDE instead of Gnome).

Please, can we also ditch Bugzilla and use the GitLab bug tracker instead?
#KDE @kde

#KDE is ditching Phabricator for GitLab. Oh yeah!

Voting for #KDE Goal Setting 2019 has begon:

"...the end is in sight for the [#KDE Usability & Productivity] initiative." -- WHYYYY 😭

Thank you, #GNOME and #KDE for working together on interoperability and bringing a consistent experience to users. @kde @gnome

#KDE usability and productivity weekly update
https://pointieststick.com/2019/07/13/kde-usability-productivity-week-79/

Wow, Kdenlive is getting so many bugfixes lately... How usable is it in practice for simple video editing such as stitching together a few clips from a phone and adding captions or a sound track? That's all I need, really. #KDE

My first #KDE patch in years, and my first attempt at using Phabricator:
https://phabricator.kde.org/D22164

Yes, it's simply a one-liner fixing a minor annoyance while building for the first time. Let's see what the maintainers will think of it.

Another week of usability and productivity improvements for #KDE

Valve hires KWin core developer Roman Gilg for gaming-related XServer and KWin improvements. Roman seems to have a ton of cool projects in the pipeline, and this makes me happy. #KDE

Tested #KDE Plasma 5.16 with Wayland and...

...still not usable 😞

In just 5 minutes, I hit all these bugs:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=408877
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=408847
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=373907
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-66008

Moreover, setting key repeat delay and rate doesn't work and I'm not sure which component this bug belongs to, but it's been there for years.

@kde

Finally upgraded to Plasma 5.16 and it's a real pleasure to use. Thank you, @kde #KDE

I just drafted a #KDE goal proposal. It's about improving the user experience for setting up input methods, a longstanding pain point for me.

#KDE Plasma desktop keeps getting more usable week after week...

Finally found a fix for resizing GTK3 apps with client-side decorations in KWin. But why isn't this workaround active by default? @kde #KDE

Every time I hit a little annoying bugs in #KDE, [email protected] (Nathaniel Graham) has already a fix for it 😯
I'm impressed by his focus on quality and user experience. Something that's been absent in open source desktops for too long. @martasd
