KStars, KDE's full-featured app for #astronomy aficionados, releases version 3.7.5.
Although mainly a bugfix version, KStars v3.7.5 boasts a couple of interesting new features, like the dome slit visualization on sky map, video sequence capture, and enhanced scheduler loading and settings management.
If you are curious about the universe you live in or are into astrophotography, get KStars now.

KDE devs are working on this. It has become a priority of the "We care about your Input" goal.

We are currently working on implementing a new virtual keyboard called QVK that will built into Plasma:

That is the proposal page. Of all proposals, and there are always quite few, the community votes and selects three to work on for two years. This one was not selected.

Spectacle release cycle has moved to that of Plasma and will be installed with Plasma, as a part of Plasma.
It used to be am independent app and on many distros you would install it separately (like on Arch) and its release cycle was that of KDE Gear.
And let's not forget everyone who contributed by using, testing, or blogging about our projects! Whether it was with code, art, bug reports, social media posts, or anything else, by desinterestedly lending your time and skill, regardless of if it was on a regular basis (shout out to all our hardworking devs!) or with a one-time, flyby commit that sniped a bug out of your favorite app, you too helped make KDE better for everybody this year.

Have a great holiday 🎄!
We also want to thank everyone who donated through the pop-up. We're very grateful for your support!
Many people said they wished they could donate more. Please don't think you didn't make a difference! Every euro will help!
@franklin @kde@lemmy.kde.social
You donate €50 or more and you can choose an app you would like to express your support for from the list. Your name then appears on the app's apps.kde.org page as a supporter until the next relase of KDE Gear (25.04).

* KBreakOut is the classic brick-busting arcade game.
* KTuberling is for the younger users, and lets them build up a potato head, robot, pizza, and more -- with added voices!
Have a fun!
Use KDE Connect:
On your phone, go into wher you keep your files (say, your photo gallery). Select the ones you want to transfer (1). Tap the share button (2), and the devices paired with your phone will show up (3). Tap the computer you want to send your files to and they will show up in the "Downloads" directory of that machine a few seconds later (depending on their size, of course).
It works both ways, also from laptop to phone, and even between phones and computers.
