Fundraiser Appreciation Thread: Thank you for your support!

We thank every single donor and appreciate every donation we have received. Every € will be used wisely and will help support KDE contributors in their task of creating the best Free Software for the whole wide world.

https://kde.org/fundraisers/yearend2024/

The fundraiser is not over! We want to reach €70K by the end of January, but we would like to start acknowledging all those who have adopted KDE apps and made our community's job easier.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social So many people are sleeping on #Okular
it's insane how many capabilities it has. Such an underrated application

[–] devSJR@fosstodon.org 2 points 12 hours ago

@thibaultmol @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I totally agree. We even use the #okular part in #RKWard. Okular is really great software.

[–] thibaultmol@en.osm.town 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I could imagine if this is multi touch compatible, on a touchscreen laptop would be really cool

[–] Bro666@lemmy.kde.social 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Cue KRuler maintainers wondering about the spike of downloads they haven't seen in like 15 years.

[–] thibaultmol@en.osm.town 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

@Bro666 You could say that the app..
.....
Krules!
