Plasma 5.7 Beta is out!
JanKusanagi @identi.ca at 2016-06-18T15:22:33Z
Thursday, 16 June 2016. Today KDE releases a beta update to its desktop software, Plasma 5.7.
More Refined Breeze Experience
This release brings an all-new login screen design completing the Breeze startup experience we trialed in Plasma 5.6. The layout has been tidied up and is more suitable for workstations that are part of a domain or company network. The Air and Oxygen Plasma themes which we still fully support for users that prefer a more three-dimensional design have also been improved.
For improved accessibility, Breeze icons within applications are now tinted depending on the color scheme, similarly to how it's done within Plasma. This resolves situations where our default dark icons might show up on dark surfaces.
Improved Workflows
In our previous release we added Jump List Actions for quicker access to certain tasks within an application. This has feature has been extended and those actions are also found through KRunner now.
Plasma 5.7 marks the return of the agenda view in the calendar, which provides a quick and easily accessible overview of upcoming appointments and holidays.
Many improvements have been added to the Volume Control applet: it gained the ability to control volume on a per-application basis and allows you to move application output between devices using drag and drop. Also implemented is the ability to raise the volume above 100%.

StickerConstructorSpec compliant swirl
Elena ``of Valhalla'' at 2016-06-18T21:35:52Z
This evening I've played around a bit with the Sticker Constructor Specification and its template, and this is the result:
Now I just have to:
* find somebody in Europe who prints good stickers and doesn't require illustrator (or other proprietary software) to submit files for non-rectangular shapes
* find out which Debian team I should contact to submit the files so that they can be used by everybody interested.
But neither will happen today, nor probably tomorrow, because lazy O:-)Edit: now that I'm awake I realized I forgot to thank Enrico and MadameZou for their help in combining my two proposals in a better design.

Exploiting Emotions About Paris to Blame Snowden, Distract from Actual Culprits Who Empowered ISISImagine simultaneously devoting all your efforts to depicting ISIS as the Greatest and Most Evil Threat Ever, while knowing the vital role you played in its genesis and growth. That's the predicament in which former and current U.S. officials find themselves.

Cabals

coincidence? of course not!
(Many italian geeks jockingly use "cabala" instead of "cabal" when speaking Italian, altought that term only means Kabbalah and the proper word would probably be "associazione complottista" or something like that.)Daniele Tricoli likes this.

Beware of trolls - do not feedA particularly annoying troll has been on his hate crusade against systemd for months now.
Unfortunately, he's particularly active on Debian mailing lists (but apparently also on Ubuntu and the Linux Kernel mailing list) and uses a tons of fake users he keeps on setting up. Our listmasters have a hard time blocking all his hate, sorry.
Obviously, this is also the same troll that has been attacking Lennart Poettering.Daniele Tricoli likes this.
Squash some Debian bugs with us!
Tomorrow, August 16th, Debian will turn 21.
To celebrate, I just hijacked a private Debian BSP - the one @valhalla organized at her home during her Debian party - and got the permission to participate remotely with anyone else from the #pumpiverse! :DSo, if you feel like squashing some Debian bugs tomorrow, join #debian-bugs on irc.debian.org from 7:30 am UTC. (Check what time is that for you here on your terminal with
date --date='TZ="UTC" 7:30 next Sat'
or check it out at http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html )
Don't be shy: if you never participated to a BSP, this is a good occasion! It's nothing terribly difficult and it's pretty fun. And remember: it's not necessarily about coding, so if you don't code (like me!) you can contribute anyway and help triaging bugs.
Also, spread the word! :) #debian #bsp #debianbirthday
