Google claim that their upcoming laptop is the "perfect partner to your Android phone" because you can "access files from your phone as if they live on your laptop" - but did you know that this is already possible, no special laptop model needed?

KDE Connect is completely free and open source software (FOSS) to link your devices together, supported by the @kde charity. It works on almost all phone models, and it does more than just allow you to access your phone's storage. For example, with KDE Connect your phone immediately becomes a remote control for music or videos playing on your laptop or desktop PC!

Don't get drawn in by the slick marketing - you don't need AI to make your life easier with technology, and most of the features large software companies such as Google are promoting have already been thoughtfully implemented by dedicated volunteers in the FOSS community.

#KDEConnect c'est vraiment sous-côté ! Vraiment un excellent outil !

So this is getting on my nerves, maybe someone has an idea?

Every now and then I have the content of my clipboard pasted into whichever window is open at the moment (mostly intellij). I suspect that KDE-Connect is responsible and i did deactivate it - which seemed to get rid of the behaviour. I don't really want to deactivate it, though...

This didn't happen until a few weeks ago.

I wonder if KDE Connect/GSConnect will ever have the option of starting a phone from your PC?

Just learned that a change to #KDEConnect on #iOS or a change to iOS now prevents direct file sharing between an iPhone and a MacBook… Fuck Apple!

I have an open question.

I currently use LocalSend to move files from my computer to my phone. Usually map files, and music.

How does KDE Connect impact battery life on the phone?

It does more, but since it's always running, I'm curious how significant it's impact.
