Not this. This account is for silliness, off colour humour, complaining about Brexit (and other evil policies, politicians, and ideologies in general), and other stuff that matters to me.
May include swear words.
Cover image is a view of El Paseo de las Palmeras (Málaga) at 9ish in the am on a nice, clear, sunny day – which is most of them.

They also copied the slogan for KDE Plasma 5 (“Simple by default, powerful when needed”) and used a thinly veiled variation to promote Windows 11.

They were also notified and they again ignored the notification.

Interestingly related: when KDE devs complained to Microsoft that, due to the fact that name of their new product and similarity in functionality to KDE’s own Maui project
they were causing confusion and potentially violating KDE’s trademark, in the Microsoft forums KDE was told to sue them or f**k off.
KDE does not have much money, much less enough to embark in a costly legal battle with Microsoft with a doubtful outcome.

How can they ever be. one is greedy predatory megacorporation only motivated by power and money.
The other is a grassroots volunteer-powered association that explicitly advocates both in word and action improving the lot of fellow humans by giving control over technology to everybody.
They both produce software which is often functionally similar. A collision sooner or later is inevitable.

Take it from an old-timer: Microsoft would crush KDE without a second thought if it ever grew beyond what they considered acceptable in the desktop/end user market share.
All the MS ❤️ Linux is at best for servers only, not anything that can benefit the common people. KDE aims for the common people.
At worst it is PR bullshit ( ⬅️ it’s this one).

To add to this: Kdenlive team members are volunteers and KDE is not a company. They do it because they want to do it.

For those curious, the "Building #Plasma6 " animation was made using @kdenlive and then @krita’s cel-animation feature.
The whole thing was then finally put together again in Kdenlive.
Yes, we eat our own dog food at #KDE.
After a couple of false starts, the Krita animation tool proved surprisingly easy to use.
Here is the whole thing, but smooth:

Elisa is currently the most popular music player from KDE:
Apart from both being music players, Amarok and Elisa are not very similar. Elisa (supposedly) works on mobile too (but it is not all there yet), and is much simpler than Amarok.
The nearest thing to Amarok may be Strawberry…

… a fork of Clementine…

… Clementine being a fork of Amarok.

Right… Amarok has been kinda semi-abandoned for some time. Obviously these two, Task Manager and Amarok, had overlapping shortcuts and nobody realised.

Open Plasma’s System Settings app and go to
Workspace > Shortcuts
And look for the “Plasma” entry in the list.
Check the
“Active Task Manager Enty ‘n’”
entries are assigned correctly to their corresponding keyboard combos.

Minimized apps are restored to their prior size and position. Apps behind other windows, are brought to the front
Either way, a well-placed merge request here:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/tree/master/applets/clipboard
will probably solve that.
It’s a bit of a tough call. The “standard” clipboard is a widget, it does seem to be an integral part of Plasma, but the limits between what is Plasma and what is not are a bit hazy.
My guess is that, back in the day, the clipboard was an “independent” widget and this is a leftover from that.
But, you are right: the configure option for the notifications widget opens Plasma Settings, as does the network widget. It does not make much sense that the clipboard be different.
