Would you be able to deal with a locked bootloader on Asus ROG Phone 5? I would be so happy to degoogle. Any of the Linux Mobile options would be even better. It's 500km for me though.

@Satiah @kde A quick look online turned up some results (see, e.g., https://www.xda-developers.com/asus-rog-phone-5-bootloader-unlock-tool-kernel-source/), but nothing I can help with.

That's a shame you are so far away. Maybe you'd be interested in organizing an installation event yourself 500kms from Berlin? 🙂

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.

They probably mean they don't provide support via the official channels due to the support being experimental, instead you'd report bugs directly to the kdeconnect-mac repo.

    @kde another feature forced really hard on users, with Konsole this time: the color preview

    I can't remember when this landed in KDE as it just added to the list of "new KDE features" I tried to ignore while struggling to keep focus, but that list never ceases to expand 😬

    moreover, the option to disable that color preview feature I don't need is burried deep: the only way to turn it off is by creating a new Konsole profile 🤦‍♂️

    Love the colour preview. Love the image preview. Was going to say "I can see why some people would want to disable it", but then could not think of any reasons, so I can't. That said, OP can go to

    Settings > Manage Profiles > [Their profile] > Edit > Mouse > Miscellaneous

    and uncheck Preview Colour on Hover.

    "Problem" solved.

    with / to keep your device in use! These machines will run beautifully for many years to come.

    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).

    @phoenix Regarding the assumed operating life of devices:

    "For the purposes of our assessment, years of use, which are based on first owners, are modeled to be four years for macOS and tvOS devices and three years for iOS and watchOS devices. Most Apple products last longer and are passed along, resold, or returned to Apple by the first owner for others to use."

    Hope that helps!

    Thank you, that sheds some light onto it, yes. I'm still wondering how this number marches up. Just using the device by far uses not even comparable amount of energy than e.g. the production and then it also depends if you use green energy or a diesel generator in your backyard.

    Not sure how to read this.

    omg KDE @kde if it ain't broken, fix it until it is?

    aBundleOfFerrets ,

    Try Qalculate, it is extremely powerful and better that anything else imo

    tobozo OP ,
    @tobozo@mastodon.social avatar

    @kde solved by running "sudo downgrade kcalc" and selecting the latest 22.x version and adding kcalc to IgnorePkg

    yes it's brutal, but breaking a11y support is worse
