I haven’t really considered the idea of using Plasma on a mobile device yet. I’m only starting to dabble in this now with an old Surface tablet. I’m using Gnome on that since quick research turned me onto using either that or Phosh. I prefer Gnome to Phosh in the end but Plasma’s my favorite DE soooo I’d be happy if it were good as a tablet DE.
I do have a second Surface with 4GB I could play with in the future I guess 👀
This is my submission for fishyvison 2026.
Have you been rocking an old classic? Discovering something new? Revisiting some nostalgic bands from the past?
If you’ve got links, post ‘em up!

In honour of Haydn’s birthday:
The Haggis Horns have been my musical companion on this week’s commute. They came up on my discovery queue a few months ago. A Scottish funk band that’s mostly instrumental, but collaborate frequently with very talented vocalists. Love ‘em

This plugin is designed to execute actions when a user’s application to a PieFed instance is ready for admin review.
Currently, the only feature is sending an email to specified email addresses when an application is ready for review. The email is sent using the same from email address as the PieFed instance itself for all its other emails.
Most excellent! Going to give this a go for my instance on next bump!
Thanks Snoopy!
I won’t ever buy an Nvidia product, definitely not while they have 98% market share.
The ongoing discussions about age-verification and changes in Free and Open-Source Software and GNU Linux and related OSs made me realize a gross misunderstanding on my part. I think many other users may have the same misunderstanding (seeing many comments using the word “traitors”), and it’s important that we become aware of it. We must understand that using or saying “FOSS” or “Linux” does not automatically mean to stand up for human rights, for the community, against corporations, and similar goals and values.
If we read the comments in those age-verification posts we can see that many developers and possibly also users make statements like “the developers have no obligation towards the community”, “the law is the law, no matter what the community wants”, “we must comply”, and similar. It’s important to realize that many developers work on FOSS not out of consideration for the community, or for human rights, or against corporations. For them it’s just one kind of software development. We may have projects that are FOSS and pro-corporations or pro-surveillance. The “F” in FOSS stands for freedom to modify and distribute the software by/to anyone in the community. It doesn’t stand for “software that promotes / stands up for general human freedom and human rights”. But of course there are also developers that work with FOSS because of such values.
So for anyone who, like me, wants to use and promote software as an assertion of, and a stand for, human rights and against corporations, it’s necessary not to stop at “FOSS” or “Linux” but apply more scrutiny and more careful choices. Probably it’s always been like this, but the present times require extra awareness.
I wish there was an acronym or other word that made this moral aspect of some FOSS development clear. This would help users to recognize software projects that share their values, and also those FOSS developers who do work for those values. Is there such a term already out there?

Friend, may I introduce you to a little something known as “Dictatorship of the Proletariat?“
Yeah, I’m not really into “dictatorship” of any sort. Y’all need to update your language to contemporary English.
Hmm, interesting…
But we learned now, that your desktop somehow isn’t reaching your DNS (pi-hole) until restart of Network Manager
So next thing i would do is traceroute and dig on your desktop while it is not working, to see what DnS is used in this state
I kept waiting for Season two to start, the whole thing felt like an introduction.
I guess that is because the show was juggling way too many different storylines for 8 episodes.
Agreed as adaptations go, they fucking nailed the details on everything.
