Deutsche Bahn lets refugees from the #Ukraine travel to #Germany for free.

You need to present your Ukrainian passport or ID card at the ticket counter

Finally took some time to sit down and write some documentation: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-mobile/-/wikis/home

Both are the reason we can't have nice things

We're a RAW editing application.
Semi-cursed project idea: A UPower backend that exposes your phone's battery via KDE Connect
An easy way to help improving the Wayland experience:
All I want for christmas is for Android updates not to break something in KDE Connect every single time
Using -Werror should be illegal
