For many characters the race does not matter - luckily - because they experience stuff everyone can experience. I think it is logical to change “unimportant” aspects of a character, if it helps production.

Longterm is for suckers - nu management is fast and loose - they break things - preferable good work environment.

KDEConnect - I use it on Windows and android phone. Very nice when you get security codes or links on phone, want to send files or when I want to control audio|video and I watch from the couch.

in general: Fdroid nearly always has a more feature rich and performant alternative
