A thing that people seem to like about other shells is that they prevent you from executing some code when you paste something that includes a newline. You can get it in bash too; just put `set enable-bracketed-paste` in .inputrc

Congratulation for the switch to Plasma! The theming on your screenshots is really good too. This is for sure the next distro I'll give a try. 👍

Ubuntu Studio 20.10 Released! https://ubuntustudio.org/2020/10/ubuntu-studio-20-10-released/

@Mastodon PSA: This release breaks sending/receiving from relays (pleroma's relay, which is pretty much all of the relays running, including relay.mastodon.host) until https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/relay/-/merge_requests/23 gets merged.

#Mastodon 3.2.1 has finally released, with a fix to follow relationships not always being deleted when they should have

However, that fix is not retroactive, so a few months ago, I started writing a proposal for a mechanism to synchronize the following state across instances: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/14510

This is something that is actually pretty hard to do in a way that is correct, efficient and future-proof.

Today, I've been working on it again to incorporate feedback from other fediverse implementors.

I think I'm at a point where I will accept this solution isn't as generic and future-proof as it could, but clearly document the condition in which it does work, and allow people who'd break those conditions (I don't know of any, especially using Mastodon) to opt out of it.

As for providing a truly generic and future-proof solution, there seem to be ways to do it, but they're significantly more tricky to handle, and given the serious consequences of followers desynchronization, I'd like a solution to be adopted soon, even if it ends up being an interim one.

New version of Tab Center Reborn, after almost a year! There are a lot of improvements, fixes and optimizations.

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tabcenter-reborn/
https://framagit.org/ariasuni/tabcenter-reborn/-/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md

And I have lots of things on my TODO list, especially optimizations (make detection of when to shrink less costly, optimize scrolling) and features (adding the ability to select tabs, adding support for double-click to close tab)…

I had two PR merged in exa recently!! I’m quite proud of the first one that fixed an important problem and wasn’t easy ^^

– Use git2 instead of parsing .gitignore for --git-ignore
https://github.com/ogham/exa/pull/653
– Clean code a bit and fix typos in code documentation
https://github.com/ogham/exa/pull/654

Contributing to exa is pretty nice btw

This week in KDE: Plasma 5.20 released, Elisa gets display options, and the System Tray config window shows configure buttons for individual configurable applets, and much more.

Plasma 5.20, by all accounts a massive release, is here. Plasma 5.20 comes with tons of new features and improvements which will make your Plasma desktop experience easier, smoother and more fun.

I think @libreoffice are very much within their rights to ask the Apache Software Foundation to update their website so that new users are aware that a mature (and frankly better) 10 year old downstream project exists.
