KDE's Indian Conference, conf.kde.in 2025 kicks of on the 4th of April.

KStars, KDE's full-featured app for #astronomy aficionados, releases version 3.7.5.
Although mainly a bugfix version, KStars v3.7.5 boasts a couple of interesting new features, like the dome slit visualization on sky map, video sequence capture, and enhanced scheduler loading and settings management.
If you are curious about the universe you live in or are into astrophotography, get KStars now.

That would be one of KDE Connects' main functions, yes. It makes sharing any kind of file (photos, videos, whatever) easy.
You can also share the content of your clipboard from your desktop to your phone and vice versa. So you would copy, say, a web address on your desktop, and you would be able to paste it into your web browser on your phone immediately.
Note that due to unforeseen circumstances, we have been unable to ship the new wallpaper, "Reef", with this version of Plasma. However, a new wallpaper will be coming soon in the next 6.2 version of Plasma.
If you can't wait, you can download "Reef" from here:
We would like to remind you that both @Krita and @kdenlive are currently running fundraisers:

Apple had to learn the hard way: Under the DMA (thanks @EUCommission !) they were forced to give users a choice regarding the default search engine and browser on their systems.
What are we going to do about Microsoft misleading users?
