* but some people prefer if sprint is on weekends for work reasons
[after discussion]

Arjen
* there's been some ongoing work on the new system monitor widgets
* mostly taking care of bugs that were found and some other smaller thigns
* like proper display strings in the sensor tree
* I think at this point they're really nice and provide a good base
for additional work
[marco:] was there any update on the duplicated hard disk sensors?
* yes, it comes from some old code in sensortreemodel
* gets fixed with my sorted model mr
* other than that, I've fixed a rendering glitch with line charts in
quick charts
* I've also redone the implementation of pie charts, as I found an sdf
function for pie chart segments the other day
* https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kquickcharts/-/merge_requests/12
* this greatly simplifies the code and removes any chance of weird
segment overlap artifacts
