Drawing a sun hat at night 🌚

i admit it, i don't know how to draw hats

Just merged a feature in #KDE Plasma 6.7 that might make you happy: a way to "unify" your mouse pointer and the tablet pointer. You may had to resort to other software to do this, but now it's built-in to your desktop environment ✅

In previous versions (or with this option off), your mouse cursor would start from the last position it was in - not caring where you had your stylus pen. This is useful for users whom switch between the two often 🖱️

KDE neochat dev, maybe tokodon later

Someone asked how hard it would be for a #Mastodon client to implement a "Following" feed like on #Cohost. Not hard at all, here's a quick prototype I made in a few minutes in @tokodon@kde.social 🙂

If I were to turn it into a real feature, it need a better looking list, and filtering options of course...

I saw the Canon L1 (the camcorder, I hate Canon naming) and thought it was a perfect fit 📸

(yes, it really does have two grips)

Time for some reminiscing: It's been almost a full year since I started contributing to #KDE 's #Tokodon! (I made my first merge request on November 30th, 2022.)

I wanted a native (desktop) Mastodon client, and I helped shape it into something I enjoy everyday 🙂 I almost never use the Web interface (unless there's a feature we can't implement due to the lack of an API.)

Here's a side-by-side of what Tokodon (sort of) looked a year ago, and what we are releasing in February of next year.

Trying out a slightly improved post layout for #Tokodon! There's tweaks to the margins/padding as usual, but a few more things:

- I like the idea of standalone tags from Mastodon 🙂 I wanted to add them
- You can see the edit status of posts (although you can't view history yet) and the order of the top bar is re-arranged
- When posts are expanded, it won't duplicate information as much!

It'll take a bit more work to make this fit on mobile though, I need to make sure everything wraps...
