Valve's Steam Deck updates to Plasma 6.2.5!
The games console has a slow update cycle to guarantee stability for users, but #Valve announced yesterday that both the #Arch base system and the #Plasma desktop environment are being updated to new preview releases.

Can someone PLEASE just port Legacy Kickoff to Plasma 6 so I can upgrade to it already?
All the menus that exist for Plasma 6 simply do not compare to those available for Plasma 5 (and 4), especially Legacy Kickoff

KDE has separated KWin X11 and KWin Wayland. Wayland takes priority, but X11 remains maintained until Plasma 7.

The #Sun's surface. The #sunspot here is Active Region 4018 as seen yesterday through my #telescope. The granular texture is from the strong convective motion of the #solar #plasma, very much like the convective patterns we see in a pot of boiling water. #astrophotography
Here's a KDE Plasma 6 power feature you probably had no idea existed.
Hit Meta+T on your keyboard.
You can define tiles on each of your screens.
Now grab a window and hold shift - it will snap to the closest tile!
This way you can arrange windows on your screen(s) in a way that will keep them sharing your screen's area without ever overlapping.
Doing this manually always took so much time and was so fiddly...
You're welcome!
This week #Plasma has received quite a lot of fixes,
like you can now remove the titlebar and frame from a window directly from the Task Manager, the digital clock gets a nicer-looking font picker dialog, and we have simplified the info shown on Display Configuration, among many other improvements and changes.

#JamesHarrison died
Who was James Harrison?
From age 18 to 81, every 2 weeks, he donated blood #plasma (unpaid)
He had the world record until 2022
The twist:
James' blood had high levels of Anti-D
#AntiD protects fetuses from Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn- the mother and fetus have immunological incompatibility
Before the 1960s, 50% of babies diagnosed with #HDFN died
James Harrison, over his life, saved *2.4 million* babies

Il y a des gros besoins en plasma en ce moment à Lyon, donnez si vous pouvez
