What's the simplest useful thing I want on my desktop?
A plain text area.
Now that I made it, any other #KDE user can have it, too!

While we await proper details about the "on device" #AI models that #Apple mentioned during the macOS segment of the #WWDC keynote, here is what I am most excited about from Apple's 2026 operating systems.
Cross-OS features:
- #LiveTranslation (finally)
- #Polls in the #Messages!
- #HoldAssist? TBD
#macOS
- #Spotlight actions (with #QuickKeys)
- #Clipboard history
- New #Shortcuts (and "Intelligent actions")
- Custom folder colors!
- Now with the #Phone app!
- More control center customization
#iPadOS
- See post above
- Mac's red-yellow-green window control buttons
- Also getting the Phone app!
#watchOS
- The #WristFlick gesture? We'll see.
- Configurable #widgets? Maybe.
My current workflows probably won't benefit from
- the "liquid" or "glass" aesthetic
- a #WorkoutBuddy (no more voices talking to me during workouts, please)
- the #Games app
- anything #tvOS, #visionOS, #emoji
What excited you?

What surprised you?
What was missing from your wish list?
Is there an app thing with which I can quickly put things from my Windows clipboard to my Android one? Or some way to quickly put text from Windows to Android which doesn't involve copying it around and sending it to myself on WhatsApp etc.?

@ai6yr @briankrebs OFC this targets #TechIlliterates and the only effective means here are:
Goblins?
Well if you squint...
If any of you are using Helix Editor and wondering why copying/pasting from the system clipboard (space+y) isn’t working as it should, make sure you have wl-clipboard installed if you’re running Wayland.
(You’re running Wayland if your Linux distribution is Fedora or Ubuntu or Suse, etc.)
If running Fedora Silverblue-esque distributions:
rpm-ostree install wl-clipboard
(This includes Universal Blue, it’s not available under brew, you have to layer it.)
I sure would love it if #ELAN had a sort of #clipboard akin to #RStudio #snippets. It would make repetitive #annotations so much faster.
#Privacy tip:
Your #Android phone may have a device #clipboard, which is separate from your keyboard's clipboard.
Remember to clear the device's clipboard once in a while, as they don't auto-clear.
I use Google keyboard, which auto-clears the clipboard contents after a while. However, the device clipboard doesn't do that.

yank, https://github.com/mptre/yank.
Yank terminal output to clipboard:
> The yank(1) utility reads input from stdin and display a selection interface that allows a field to be selected and copied to the clipboard. Fields are either recognized by a regular expression using the -g option or by splitting the input on a delimiter sequence using the -d option.
Looks so easy to use. Great idea!
Clipboard history is great, and on Chromebooks it’s getting even better

If there is one absolute truth to my career in IT:
I have wasted far more of my life clicking the stupid "What do you want to do with the #clipboard" prompts from #Microsoft apps when quitting the apps than I'd have ever spent having the app just close and take a couple of seconds longer to deal with the clipboard.
Will be #Unpopular with "It's #RUSSIA " but Yandex is my 2nd choice after Google. And their image search is just too good. Also, they had this draggable or paste from #clipboard 'visual search' way before Google implemented it.
