@latenightlinux I think you guys are the reason I'm trying out KDE.

But that's what KDE is about I'm told! I'm […]

I just gave an HHC 2025 presentation and demonstration of Nonpareil II, my work--in-progress microcode-level HP calculator simulator, now written in C++20 using the Qt6 toolkit. Compared to the original, it uses vector graphics for smooth scaling over a wide range of window sizes.

Does anyone know if you can launch an application on one workspace in #kde, and switch to another workspace while it is opening, with the application then still appearing in the original workspace? Or for that matter does anyone know of a desktop environment (linux, windows, mac, bsd anything!) […]

I found a kewl compact long-period clock for Minecraft redstone yesterday, but calculating the settings to get the period I wanted was a pain.

With a bit of HTML, CSS, and JS and an unknown amount of my evening, I am now +1 period calculator for said clock […]
