  1. I’ve been working on a native KDE client based on #Carburetor, and I’m happy to announce its release under the name #Karburetor.

    The goal of this project is to provide a better Tor experience for KDE Plasma users with a client that fits naturally into the KDE ecosystem, without GNOME dependencies and with a focus on a more native, simple, and integrated experience.

    In this release, several parts of Carburetor have been redesigned so Karburetor can run independently from GNOME. The settings, proxy management, and user interface have been adapted to better match KDE standards.

    Karburetor now uses native KDE settings and integrates more smoothly with Plasma services. Proxy handling has also been improved, allowing Plasma and KDE applications to directly use the Tor connection.

    New features include active Bridge detection, improved support for different Tor transports, and a more extensible architecture for future improvements.

    P.S. Due to network limitations in Iran, Codeberg being censored, and GitLab being sanctioned, unfortunately the sources are temporarily hosted on Microsoft GitHub for now.

    I may move the project to KDE Invent in the future if possible, after it becomes more stable.

  2. @torproject Was hoping to see a AArch64 build for the native #Linux version, as well as for the #flatpak on #Flathub. Currently, the only easy way to connect to the #TOR network on #LinuxMobile is using #BraveBrowser or #Carburetor.

  3. A quotation from Bill Watterson

    CALVIN: Hey Dad, how does a carburetor work?
    CALVIN’S DAD: I can’t tell you.
    CALVIN: Why not?
    CALVIN’S DAD: It’s a secret.
    CALVIN: No it isn’t! You just don’t know!

  4. Thrilled to see how #Carburetor empowers the people of #Iran by providing access to free Internet amidst the ongoing challenges of state-imposed filtering. Together, we can ensure connectivity and freedom for all.

  5. Just upgraded and all the apps have lost the ability to enter . At first I was blaming (the toggler) but no, it's everything. apps like Geary are working fine though🫠️

    Did this happen to anyone else? Anyway, in the meantime maybe I should just make light of it 🙃️

    (PS: I hope I got my GTKs right someone please confirm)

    Update: installing back xdg-desktop-portal-phosh fixed it; thanks @agx for the tip

  6. I am NOT very mechanical. But my #lawnmower wouldn't start and the local shop was booked.

    So... I did 'the youtube thing' and.... I frigg'n did it. I removed the #carburetor, took it apart, cleaned it, and put it back together! I realize for many of you this is trivial but for me, it's a huge stretch.

    But I can't believe the miracle that is #Youtube. I found dozens of videos on how to do it. Even one for my exact model! I feel like I can do anything now...

  7. Putting my youngest daughter's old Chevy back together. I’ve never worked on a small block Chevy before. Everything on it is so much larger than the Datsun stuff I normally work on!

  8. So pleased with myself. I cleaned out the lawn mower #carburetor and it runs now! Tricky moment when a tiny metal disc fell out of the carburetor 😂 All hail YouTube DIYers though, am I right? Too late to mow now, it's almost surface of the sun level out there now. #heat #JustHomeownerThings

    امروز برای اولین بار از #carburetor استفاده کردم. خیلی خوب بود و رابط کاربریش با سایر برنامه های گنوم همخوانی کامل داشت. دمت گرم.
