* Phone file sharing
Plasma-native apps can browse phone filesystems accessed over MTP
thanks to the KIO API, but other apps need a mount point.
Unfortunately [[https://invent.kde.org/system/kio-fuse/-/merge_requests/10][KIOFuse blacklists MTP]], so we need to resort to
thirdparty tools to create such a mount point.

[[https://whoozle.github.io/android-file-transfer-linux/][=android-file-transfer-linux=]] ([[https://packages.debian.org/stable/android-file-transfer][Debian]], [[https://software.opensuse.org/package/android-file-transfer-linux][openSUSE]]) can do the job with a
simple ~aft-mtp-mount $MOUNTPOINT~, but one may need to ~pkill kiod~
first, since [[https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=412257][that daemon starts hogging]] the… USB… device… bus thing as
soon as the phone is plugged.
