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.

@rochacbruno @[email protected] It's the same. Money goes either way to us with more or less the same cut by the payment provider, so it depends on which payment method you prefer.

That is regular themes.

_Global_ themes also modify the desktop's behavior and hence contain code to do that.

To make more things like this happen, to help those that the IT industry left behind or consider mere fodder for the data-grinding machine, to return control over technology to the common people, and protect the environment, we need your help.

Become a supporter. Help us reach the landmark number of 1000 supporters before the launch of #Plasma6.

So we also managed to avoid having all those machines ending up in landfills, polluting the soil and waterways because providers of proprietary OSes only want you to buy new stuff and ignore the impact on the environment.
