KDE Plasma gets Wayland Fractional Scaling, Fixing Multi-Screen and a Steam Deck updater
I continue to be truly amazed by all the work going into KDE Plasma. Not only is it my desktop environment of choice on Linux, it's Valve's too as it powered the desktop mode on Steam Deck. It's about to get some juicy upgrades too.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

Media people and organisations, start your own Fediverse servers! This is your chance to be in control of what you publish!
By remaining on Twitter you are helping Musk control you and your readers. You used to be in control before Twitter. The Fediverse is your chance to get back that control.
It is really cheap and easy!

#JohnMastodon is proof that things *CAN* go viral here on Mastodon, but the key is that *YOU* are the algorithm. The reason that the John Mastodon meme showed up on other people's timelines is because so many users boosted the posts.
The lesson here is: please don't just favourite something if you really enjoyed it; BOOST it so that other people can enjoy it, too! This is the only reason why I bother to create as large a social graph as I can on Mastodonโto act as an amplifier. You can, too!โค๏ธ๐

Iโm genuinely curious to see what comes of this project. It seems like they have the right idea in defining it as an online community that is incidentally on Mastodon rather than an instance first.
I think Mastodon would be a lot less annoying for most users if local feeds were given the same priority as the fediverse.
And instead of trying to rebuild Twitter here, itโs helpful to remember Twitter dot com is a website but not the whole web
