Happy 30th birthday to us! 🎂
i made a KDE Eco 88x31 since apparently that wasn't a thing until now! #kdeeco
More efficient every day: #Poppler, the #PDF engine used by #Okular, gets the KDE treatment and can now generate documents with embedded forms that can be more than 10 times smaller thanks to a technique called _subsetting_. Watch the video to see how this works.
This feature was implemented by Ojas Maheshwari's during their KDE Google Summer of Code stint.

What's good for hardware is good for the budget … and environment! 🌻
LliureX #Linux with #KDEPlasma in Valencian schools saves the public administration *3.5 million euros a year* for 110,000 computers. [1]
* School HW has lifespan up to 18 years while running up-to-date software [2]
* Cheap easy-to-manage "light clients" ideal for very old upcycled HW [3]
* LliureX-Shutdowner saves energy by turning off unused computers school-wide [4]
First Oct 2025. Then Oct 2026. Now Oct 2027!?!
#Microsoft 's extensions of #Windows10 EoL shows how arbitrary the decision is.
If you must buy a computer get a #Linux device 🐧 and say enough with premature hardware obsolescence.
#FreeSoftware #OpenSource supports HW until it stops working. As it should be!
#KDE supporters @slimbook @kubuntufocus @tuxedocomputers @frameworkcomputer sell HW with #FOSS out-of-the-box. It's repairable HW too!

Opt Green has ended. Long live Opt Green!
As May came to an end, so did KDE Eco's "Opt Green" project. Two activities of the project will help it live on for years to come.
Read here about Opt Green's work with Repair Cafés in #Germany.

Digital sustainability at one of #Hannover 's (Germany) largest 🍎 schools!
At a 2-day workshop at the end of May, 10 enthusiastic students learned how software determines the operating life of their devices.
They then rolled up their sleeves and upgraded 5 laptops to make them usable again with #FreeSoftware #OpenSource (#Fedora, #Debian, #MXLinux #KDE #Plasma6).
Now they decide where to donate the laptops: To the school, the library or people in their community 🚀
> Ich bin dazugestoßen über ein Reparatur-Initiativen-Netzwerk in Deutschland. Dort war ein Webinar darüber ausgeschrieben worden, wie man mit #Linux das Windows-10-Update-Problem lösen kann für die Computer, die Windows 11 nicht unterstützen. Das war speziell für #RepairCafe s, denn das ist deswegen ein Thema, weil mit Ende von #Windows10 viel Elektroschrott auf uns zukommt.
Mehr aus Harald Reingrubers Interview zur Kampagne #EndOf10:
Wishing our community a very happy 29th birthday!
14 Oct is not only KDE's birthday, but also International #eWaste Day & the end of "free" support for #Windows10.
KDE is the organization behind #KDEEco with the goal of strengthening sustainability in the development & adoption of #FreeSoftware #OpenSource software.
KDE Eco's #OptGreen put the cross-community campaign #EndOf10 into motion at #SFSCon 2024.
Donate to #KDE today & support our amazing work: https://kde.org/fundraisers/yearend2025/

Products tethered to manufacturer software creates #eWaste.
Free & Open Source Software and Open Hardware are a solution!
"Escaping the chains of tethered products: the #JuiceRescue project"

* Tethered products cheat consumers out of products they paid for
* People can organize in powerful ways
* Governments can reduce the risks

#OptGreen: Eine nachhaltigere digitale Welt ist möglich
> Laptops, Smartphones und andere Geräte werden schnell "alt". Dabei spielt Software eine große Rolle. Oft bekommst du nach 3-5 Jahren die Meldung, dass dein Gerät die Mindestanforderungen für das neuste Update nicht mehr erfüllt. Oder eine App, die du installieren willst, benötigt ein Update, das dein Gerät nicht unterstützt. Das ist ärgerlich, besonders wenn das Gerät eigentlich noch funktioniert.
