This Week in Plasma: Plasma 6.5 is here!
Saturday, 25 October 2025
And by all accounts, it’s pretty good! So far Plasma 6.5 has been a rather smooth release, with the only significant regression I’ve seen so far being a compatibility issue with older AMD GPUs that turned the cursor into Swiss cheese. It’s already fixed, to be released with Plasma 6.5.1. We’re also following up on an intentional change to the blur effect that unintentionally made it uglier in some cases.

Akademy 2025
Tuesday, 7 October 2025
In September, I spent over 12 hours in airplanes and trains getting to Berlin to attend my second Akademy conference. The experience once again made the long trip worthwhile. It was lovely to see some familiar faces, and to meet other folks for the first time. This was my second trip to Berlin, and it was nice to see different areas of the city than last year. Like last year, people were so approachable, friendly and easy to talk to. The welcome event was at the lovely Schleusenkrug Beer Garden, just a short walk from the venue, nestled in one of the many areas of greenery.
