Anyone else noticing weirdness with Dolphin under Plasma 6.8.3?

Seems like sometimes it needs to go into a "not responding" state when first starting up and then seems to be fine after a 30-45s siesta?

This is local filesystems, nothing has changed, well, other than plasma and kernel versions I guess.

Anyone noticing anything? Just me?

Center and right: white and blue badges showing a green dragon in a blue scarf, plus some with colorful wheel or abstract designs. Sticker stacks sit at the back right. Behind the table is a poster with Japanese text and a dragon illustration. The floor is beige tile.

Indoor booth with a blue KDE-logo tablecloth. A masked man in a white T-shirt and lanyard stands behind it. Two blue KDE banners hang on the wall. The table holds a tall poster for KDE's 30th anniversary with a timeline and dragon art, a framed display of hexagonal stickers, pin badges, two printed flyers, a Krita 5.3/6.0 poster of Kiki, and a black drawing tablet beside a laptop.

TIL: chrome speichert bookmarks (und cookies und logins etc) mit dem desktop keyring (zum crypten) unter linux der zwischen KDE und gnome ein anderer ist, aber NICHT die offnen tabs (weshalb es mir erst nicht aufgefallen ist!)

For the past six years, I’ve kept a quarterly ritual of donating to a free and open-source software project that recently helped me in my life or work.

Here is my 2026 lineup. With a special exception for Q4:

• Q1: FreeBSD Foundation (@FreeBSDFoundation)
• Q2: KeePassXC (@keepassxc)
• Q3: KDE e.V. (@kde)
• Q4: Sanktionsfrei e.V. (@Sanktionsfrei)

Not a FOSS project, but more important. Standing together for fear-free, dignified basic income support without sanctions in Germany! 🤝❤️

Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that I have a filter to exclude and not see 'KDE' and I follow 'AlpineLinux', what happens in #mastodon when there's a toot with #alpinelinux and #kde? Does it show in my timeline or not?

The October 6th, 2026 Jail/Zones Production User Call is up:

https://youtu.be/6w53RZ20dpA

We discussed the virtual init review, Qubes OS functionality for #FreeBSD and OpenBSD, DCH's bug fixes, if_pair news, the future FreeBSD distribution sets in the PkgBase era, LibreNMS in Daemonless, AppJail, Kyua, the #Sylve installer and Zen mode, remaining bhyve wish list items, Sylve #KDE jails, why FreeBSD is good for management by an #LLM, Sylve custom installations, DHCP option 114, and more!

I guess I hadn't looked at photos since migrating to Alpine Linux lately.

Does anyone have HEIC (i.e. Apple) formatted images working correctly under Alpine?

I've installed libheif, kimageformats and anything remotely libheif related in the repo but Gwenview still doesn't display HEIC images. Neither does Shotwell.

I installed Ristretto to compare and it also doesn't display HEIC images.

GIMP works as does Darktable.

Dolphin displays the thumbnails properly but the preview pane doesn't work.

Ideas? Kinda pulling my hair out and out of options.

If you use KDE and don’t like so-called “artificial intelligence”, you may want to sign that text, calling for an “AI” ban in KDE Plasma.
