What would you ask our KDE goal champions?

"Can I create a KDE app in [insert favorite programming language here]?", "Will you support my [insert exotic input device here]?", "Can I get a job as a KDE contributor?"...

Let us know in the comments what you want to ask our champions and we will make sure your question gets answered.

You want these, right?

If so, thanks to the magic of version control, those icons are still available for download from the KDE invent repo.

What you need to do is clone the breeze repo:

git clone git@invent.kde.org:frameworks/breeze-icons.git

And then checkout an older version from before the change:

git checkout v5.100.0

The old icons will be in the

breeze-icons/icons/status/64/

directory.

Now you have to options...

Yes. By design. Year of the Linux cursor.

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.
