      I find it interesting that the correct link for this post was: https://akselmo.dev/posts/plasma-6-and-me/

      But when linked from HackerNews, the URL doesn't work.

      Maybe a bug on referrer tracking on akselmo.dev?

      (I don't use org mode or Kate. Love Kate, but prefer vim.) At least one person's set Kate up for org mode.

      just a heads up, the links are dead for exploding screen snapshots:

      Another take, from a more recent Blue Systems / Techpaladin developer: https://akselmo.dev/posts/bluesystems-to-techpaladin/
