KDE Connect is something I keep my eye on and check in every once in a while: Is there a dedicated page tracking updates specifically to KDE Connect? I’m really very much looking forward to a time where it is feature compete with Android compared to Apple’s continuity platform. I would absolutely love to move to Android+Linux as my daily drivers, but I feel like I’m giving up on too much by leaving the Apple ecosystem.
Does Connect use BTLE?
Could you guys implement an auto tethering option between phone/PC?
How instant are notifications synced? Do notifications disappear on one side or the other when viewed on one or the other platform?
Maybe implement a “link to KDE” notification toggle to mirror the “link to windows” functionality of Android?

It is part of KDE Gear, so generally in the gear release announcement. The last few releases were not that big in term of feature but the next one includes some goodies.
Does Connect use BTLE?
KDE Connect will have the Bluetooth backend enabled by default with the next gear release (24.02). I’m not sure if this is BTLE or normal Bluetooth.

No idea :(
How instant are notifications synced?
For me it is pretty instant. I never miss my Bereal notifications thanks to it :)

Yes

No, definitely not, that Plasma 6 is in alpha phase means that it is not yet ready for production, and is meant for being use specifically inside a virtual machine. The same in Arch and any other rolling release distro.
That is so stupidly common in the US for trucking companies too. You see trademark infringement left and right because most are single man operations and they assume nobody will do anything about it. They’re pretty much right. I saw a Supreme™ logo for a trucking company.
it seems wrong, to me, to submit them to the bugtracker.
You could do that. There is a wishlist option under the “Severity” drop-down selector. But , as you can imagine, what one person wants ranks pretty low when it comes to severity, so more severe bugs will tend to take precedence.
But, know this: KDE is not a a company with a suggestion box. it is an open-ended, grassroots, volunteer-based community with undefined, permeable edges. This means you can become part of it. If you want something, you should become part of it and contribute to making it happen.
If you don’t know how to code, or think you have nothing to contribute, do not underestimate yourself: you definitely have something that can help KDE. And, even if you end up contributing to something that has little to do with what you want done, you will be helping, however indirectly, to making your wish happen.
This looks like one of the color blindness filters got activated. Here on Plasma 6, it's a Desktop Effect in the System Settings. Not quite sure, if that was also already the case in Plasma 5, but if you just type "blind" into the search bar of the System Settings, then it should show up and you can disable it.
No option on plasma 5 that I could find, I learned that it was a graphics driver that updated and caused all this, thankfully I had automatic backups setup.
