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.

@MystikIncarnate @refalo Shouldn’t RCS be a better (ah-through already outdated to begin with) standard to use ? With major phone constructors making it available ?
It’s improvement.
But you can also polish a turd, and that’s also improvement. It’s still a turd. Taking 1990’s tech and overlaying rich text services onto it, is just polish for the same 90’s tech that should have been left behind.
IMO, it’s still worlds away from what you can get with a purely digital instant messaging system.
Also, it seems idiotic to me that nearly all of your communications can go up in smoke by accidentally dropping your phone into a wood chipper, and you’ll be SOL until you replace it because everything is hairpinned through your cellphones SMS capability. Battery dead? Out of your providers service area? Ha ha, get fucked.
Just dumb.
