@kde @mykolak @kde@lemmy.kde.social It’s a bit more complicated than that. There has been many bug reports about this already and it’s a conflict prone subject even between KMail contibutors…

@louis_sch @m4m4m4m4 Thanks :)

@Strit @m4m4m4m4 Thanks!

@boredsquirrel Yes Merkuro uses the same backend. And we (Merkuro dev) are contributing to improve it which benefit all the Kontact users.

@boredsquirrel @kde 1. While some devs (like me) works on both Kontact and Merkuro devs, other are only working on one of them. I don’t see Kontact disappearing anytime soon.

2. CalDAV is definitively supported

3. Journals works in KOrganizer. It’s quite unlikely I will add that to Merkuro mail any time soon as I have no real use for them and I don’t want to makes the UI more complex.

@alfajet @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social BMW is using a bunch of our frameworks already and do occasionally some contributions: https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/bluez-qt/-/commit/1a5660ab1547236c7bc0f883bbbb039889489a22

@QuazarOmega @G020B The power of KIO!

@Strit @leopold It takes a lot of time to port to KF6 and it is good that a release sooner than later even if it is still based on KF5.

@blackfire @thisweekinkde kubuntu 24.04 won’t include plasma 6 but a not so well maintained plasma 5 session unfortunately

@baduhai @kde because the version number follow the date. So if you are running 24.02.5 (published around May 2024) in 2026 something is wrong :)

@Corb_The_Lesser @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social yeah the new wizard had to be completely rewritten for Qt6 and still requires a bit of work and testing with various email providers. 😔

@leopold @riodoro1 it wasn’t a gnome app, but a gtk gnu app.

@mnglw the tablet was connected to a laptop underneath

@kellyaster @Bro666 Pretty hungry but I’m cooking a ratatouille right now to fix this issue :)

@shaan7 @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social You go to Fosdem or the next Akademy, and you buy one :)

@Bro666 No it will be in building H this year, next to gnome, mastodon and mozilla

@zygoon @kde@lemmy.kde.social @kde kernel 3.10 was released more than 10 years ago and received a last update in 2017. Is that really a kernel still used in the wild?

Looking at https://lxr.kde.org/search?%21v=kf5-qt5&_filestring=&_string=sched.h, KDE does not do a clone3 directly. It’s likely done by a dependency of Plasma :( But I might be wrong as I’m definitively not an expert in syscall

@parens The last financial report for 2022 is available https://ev.kde.org/reports/ev-2022/#working-groups_

and for 2021 https://ev.kde.org/reports/ev-2021/#working-groups_

@parens @troyunrau Exactly, it took me 5 years from my first contribution to finally getting hired full time to work on some KDE and KDE related open source code. And I’m very prolific in term of contributions (https://invent.kde.org/carlschwan).

It’s quite an issue to get money, the current budget KDE e.V. has is around 200 000€ a year and that pays for a few part time employees. I’m lucky that I found a company interested in developing a commercial open source project based on KDE (gnupg/g10 code).
