kde , to KDE
@kde@floss.social avatar

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.

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

refalo ,

so exactly like kde connect then

refalo ,

when it works. but it's so incredibly buggy, especially the desktop apps, and double especially the sms desktop app. holy shite is it terrible, and trying to get support is like trying to report a problem to google

refalo ,

it is absolutely useless on all platforms

refalo ,

I have had nothing but problems with kde connect for years

refalo ,

besides many banks requiring SMS 2FA still, I usually only talk with non-app-using people over e2ee RCS
