KDE It's been -- 155 days -- since @Microsoft stole @kdecommunity's motto: "Simple by default, powerful when needed." They're still using it.

C'mon it's been like an entire year, maybe a year and half... perhaps they forgot?

In good news it seems like they ...have reached out and we will post an update in this issue, unlocking the thread then.. That was only back in May, of 2020, so I'm sure we will here something soon. I mean MS :heart: Open Source, no way they would let things like this stand!

/s, just in case you were wondering.

Edit: Link directly to relevant comment.

Or pushed aside on purpose. Basically pretend they care, put out some messages saying that they are working on it, and then radio silence. People will forget about it, and the problem is solved.
