I would still recommend turning wifi off when leaving home for privacy reasons (which can easily be automated). The process to identify if a network is trusted or not requires a handshake. So leaving wifi on makes you trackable by the wifi network operators and the apps on your phone with access to your wifi, wether you connect a network or not.
What’s the use case for a history merger?
Be aware that kwallet will require you to enter your password if you auto-login. Kwallet usually saves your passwords for wifi etc. That’s why auto-login with KDE doesn’t make much of a difference in most use cases
It’s probably gone. But maybe you could have some luck looking for it in your BIOS like others suggested.
I haven’t used windows in quite a while, but while I did, on laptops sold with windows there was a recovery partition on them you could reinstall windows from. If you removed that partition you had no legal way of reinstalling, because no key was made available to you at any point.

That’s not quite what I meant.
The argument I most often see and is that TikTok should stay because Facebook and Google are just as bad. That’s stupid because foreign espionage is obviously worse than domestic espionage to any government.
If your argument is that the TikTok ban is good and Facebook and Google should be next because of the similar practises then I’m 100% with you.
I don’t understand why people get so upset about this. Yes, Google, Facebook, etc. hoard your data too. But there’s a big difference wether that data is hoarded domestically or by a foreign nation that is pretty blatant about their industry espionage and political propaganda. Yes, the US do it too. But you really can’t blame a country for protecting it’s interests, be they ethical or not.
This won’t help you, but I wanted to chime in and say that I do not experience this bug. OS is Nobara, KDE 6, FF from repo. I have a KWin command to open FF with a specific size at a specific location and can resize it just fine.
Is it just screensavers that are broken? Because I have set my screen to turn off instead of a screensaver and that is disabled while video is playing in FF. Maybe it’s an option in the mean time?
I recalled that too. It was like 15 years ago think. The whole thing was a disaster. Adoption was as much an issue as compatibility. Linux and LibreOffice has come along a long way since then. But so did MS. Not even google manages to compete with the level of integration and interoperability MS has. Also, being a state organized enterprise, you just know the transition phase is gonna be chaos incarnate. I just hope the top management is ready for the fight. I truly believe it’s worth it.
The command itself isn’t complex:
YDOTOOL_SOCKET="$HOME/.ydotool_socket" ydotool key 28:1 28:0
The hard part is getting ydotool to run on boot for your user (no sudo). I had to create a bash script to run on login with the following line:
ydotoold --socket-path="$HOME/.ydotool_socket" --socket-own="$(id -u):$(id -g)"
It’s a bit hacky but it works.
There’s still a bunch of little bugs in KDE6, they’ll get ironed out over time. For the KDE connect bug I use a ydotool command to emulate an enter key press to accept the remote command access from my bed.
Mullvad has DNS options that even block out some ads and trackers: https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls
I had a bunch of mild but annoying breakage since the update as well. What helped me is renaming .cache and .config, rebooting and just copying select things over to the fresh folders

I managed to track it down further. The issue is that some icons (Discover, Gajim, Steam) pull their light/dark info from the “Colours” instead of the “Plasma Style”. So If you mix and match like I did (Breeze Twilight, i.e. Breeze Dark Plasma Style with Light Colours), then most icons will appear light due to the Dark Plasma Style, but some will be dark because they get their Light/Dark info from the Light Colours.
That information seems to be cached in ~/.cache/plasmashell/qmlcache/. When I delete that folder I get the broken icons. I f I use the cached folder from my desktop it’s fixed. I’m guessing some apps just are broken currently in that regard and I’m just “lucky”, that my desktop didn’t correctly flush the plasmashell cache

I think that take is short sighted. Because the next obvious step to “no right to online anonymity” is “online anonymity is illegal”, and it’s pretty obvious we’re headed that way. In that case, courts can make it pretty fucking hard to protect your right to privacy.
