Phone Link is Microsoft's late and closed source alternative to KDE Connect. It requires you sign in to a Microsoft Account for it to work.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/phone-link-requirements-and-setup-cd2a1ee7-75a7-66a6-9d4e-bf22e735f9e3

This means all the transactions between your phone and your PC are monitored and sucked up by Microsoft.

Not only wallet friendly, keeps CO2 emissions out of the atmosphere. Ca. 75% of Apple's emissions comes from production alone (details in alt text).

    Yeah this same conversation happens every time one of these headlines comes up and gets misinterpreted. The conclusion is usually that apple has longer than average hardware support across the board

    rImITywR ,

    "Not as shit as you could be" is not something we should be praising. A handful of years is still too short, just because it is marginally better than their competitors doesn't mean we should give Apple a pass. It just means that the industry is full of shitty companies that profit off of producing e-waste, and know that consumers have no real choice but to put up with it.

    50% of consumers buy new devices due to unsupported software, while the "tsunami of " continues to rise.

    can keep those devices in use and out of the landfill. Today!

    Say hello to the new project ": For Sustainable Hardware".

    You don't need new hardware for a secure, up-to-date device; you just need the right software!

    If you don't use Bing with Edge, Microsoft will tell you your computer needs repairing.

    https://www.tomsguide.com/computing/windows-operating-systems/microsoft-now-says-your-pc-is-in-need-of-repair-if-youre-not-using-bing-with-edge

    They are not wrong.

    To mend your machine:

    1. Ditch Windows
    2. Install Plasma
    3. Your computer is ready.

    I remember decades ago when a US court convicted Microsoft to seperate their browser from windows. The court wrote the verdict that Microsoft ilegally tried to prevent competion . Since Microsoft lost it shouldn't be difficult to file the next suit .

    As I recall:
    Microsoft Windows used to have good online help, circa 1991-1994 (Windows 3.1).
    It was based on the Rich Text Format (RTF).
    Then Microsoft added a web browser, and called it Internet Explorer.
    Internet Explorer really wasn't very good for exploring the internet, apparently because its development had been rushed and it didn't display some things like other browsers would.
    Then Microsoft argued in court that its web browser was an integral part of Windows, which Windows could not work without.
    Then the judge removed the web browser from his own Windows-based computer and experienced no problems.
    Then Microsoft changed its online help to HTML and made us use its web browser to access it.

    Is there a Debian package or a Debian build script for Marknote?

    KDE Neon users please note: Neon is NOT affected by the xz security issue. You do not have to take any precautions.

    One of the KDE Plasma features I use almost in daily basis is the MouseMark.

    Go to your settings, in Desktop Effects, Enable the MouseMark (you can change the settings of it in the button in front of it). Then press Meta+Shift and move your mouse to doodle, or press and release Meta+Shift+Ctrl to define beginning and end of an arrow (it will draw the rest.

    Interestingly enough, it have been in Plasma for the past 16 years:
