I have been unable to find work as I cannot drive with my broken arm and no one will hire a one armed software engineer! As you can see I am still quite capable, so if you know anyone that will give me a chance, please contact me! Any help is appreciated, donations will go to internet costs, food, medical expenses, and gas to continued doctor/hospital visits. Thank you! https://gofund.me/d5d59582

KDE: Debian: Hopefully a short goodbye for now.

I have been working around the clock and over the weekend trying to get the transition for snapcraft files in their respective repos. What does this mean for users? Faster releases for Snaps and closer collaboration between snapcrafters and application developers so bugs get resolved much quicker. Unfortunately, I have 2 days to finish before my internet gets cut off. I did not make enough to pay the bill. Seeing as this is the first time in a year, I am absolutely, positively grateful for all of you and your support over the past year. I know my work is appreciated! I will never be homeless or starve due to my wonderful local community, but the Internet bill is not something we can barter or trade labor for. I have caught up on my Debian obligations ( so no MIA needed! ) KDE neon is in good hands with Jonathan and Carlos. So for now, farewell ( I assure you I will be back! ) https://gofund.me/b8b69e54

KDE snaps at Ubuntu Summit 2022, see you in Prague!

I am pushing out a few more snaps as I prepare for the Ubuntu Summit next week! At the summit I will be co-hosting a snap workshop where I will dissect and explain what goes into snapping KDE apps. I am very excited! Some of the main goals to accomplish while I am there include: Start knocking out our wonderful PIM suite. Sort out apps that want access to system-files and give it to them. Calligra office suite. Access to the neon extention so I may update some issues I am running into. A few apps that require daemon ability ( I believe there is a workshop for this 🙂 ) See old friends that I haven’t seen in forever it seems! Todays releases are as follows: Kig Kreversi Kruler Kshisen Kigo Killbots Kiriki Kiten Please consider donating! Helps keep the lights on so I can get more Kool software out to you. https://www.patreon.com/sgmoore Cash App $ScarlettMoore0903 Stripe: https://buy.stripe.com/28o16y3PHcISf
