And nowadays, PGP technology is mostly used by the government and military. I wouldn't be surprised if this was also the case when Bitcoins was originally developed

To be fair. Plasma BiScreen is now lead by Devin Lin which has done a amazing job moving Plasma Mobile once the initial sponsor of it turned its interest somewhere else. So i am quite happy to see the progress there :)

We do that in KDE too, where the decision to update to a possible gpl4 is decided by a vote of the KDE e.v. (the legal non profit organization behind the project) membership.

> History/Motivations This project started as an exploration of using AI agents for software development. Based on experience tuning systems using Abseil's B+tree, I was curious if performance could be improved through SIMD instructions, a customized allocator, and tunable node sizes. Claude proved surprisingly adept at helping implement this quickly, and the resulting B+tree showed compelling performance improvements, so I'm making it available here.

It seems the code was written with AI, I hope the author knows what he is doing. Last time I tried to use AI to optimize CPU-heavy C++ code (StackBlur) with SIMD, this failed :/

I knew about gpgme-json, but I didn't knew, you could do web auth with that. I though the usecase was mainly mailvelope. How does that work?

Thanks for the link to the screenshots page, I completely forgot we had one

That screenshot is very old, for an actual screenshot. For an actual screenshot, you can find one on today's announcement: https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.5.0/

Btw as one the web developer behind KDE's website, do you mind telling me where you found that screenshot?

On linux, you are likely missing the db drivers for Qt for other database types.

Honestly I think it's fair. Really the only people affected by this change are people creating proprietary forks, everyone else benefits from this change.

I just wish there was a way to ensure that the company itself doesn't do a proprietary fork.

The US is not only restricting the free speech of their own citizens but also from citizens of other countries...

Mercedes Benz is already for example using KWin from KDE as Wayland compositor and likely many other open source components. So this sort of move is not without precedent.

It's a smart move to do so instead of switching to Android Auto and loosing control of one of the most important component of the experience of the car.

Another open source app with a bit of similar goal: https://apps.kde.org/itinerary/

The collaboration part is not that developed (but does exist based on Matrix as decentralized and end to end encrypted storage). That works very well is ticket extraction for hotels, train or flight + search for connection using public transport APIs.

Disclaimer: I'm involved with that app

The issue is that it would require normal user to also do the same, which is suboptimal from a privacy point of view.

Kwrite is basically kate without any plugins. Both applications are hosted in the same repo and developed at the same time.
