"This Week in Plasma" brings the news that System Settings' pages become "smart" and can mark themselves as "not relevant" if, for example, you do not have the hardware to use them. They can also export actions to the sidebar, allowing you to quickly toggle devices on and off. And Discover can now be opened directly from Install buttons on FlatHub.
Read about this, and much more in Nate's blog post:

Plasma 6.5 is out! Look forward to cool interface re-designs (rounded corners! Automatic smooth light-to-dark transitions!), features (smart KRunner searches! Pinned clipboard items!) and tons of usability and accessibility improvements:

![Screenshot of GhostBSD running Plasma.
There's a Plasma default panel with some pinned icons floating on the left, a konsole running bsdebfetch with some system stats and three picture frames: bottom right with "RunBSD" Logo and center and top center stickers with slogans concerning "mamma carcinomas".
There's a bottom panel with a pager widget showing two virtual desktops.
Both panels are set to dodge windows.
Colours follow Plasmas twilight settings.
Iconset: Nature Grey
