Is there a way to send your phone calls to your laptop?
New to Linux, I am on Ubuntu 24.04.
I am trying to have my phone calls go from my phone to my laptop. I did some online searching and found KDE connect. I can recieve and send texts on KDE connect but can't call
Am I doing something wrong or should I use something else?
Thanks for reading

Meta faces a $2.4bn (£1.8bn) lawsuit accusing the Facebook owner of inflaming violence in Ethiopia after the Kenyan high court said a legal case against the US tech group could go ahead. The case brought by two Ethiopian nationals calls on Facebook to alter its algorithm to stop promoting hateful material and incitement to violence, as well as hiring more content moderators in Africa. It is also seeking a $2.4bn “restitution fund” for victims of hate and violence incited on Facebook.

Accra – Ghana has launched West Africa's largest floating solar project, marking a significant step towards increasing its renewable energy capacity. The country aims to raise its share of renewable energy from the current 1% to 10% by 2030.
The pioneering 5-megawatt floating solar installation is situated on the Black Volta River and was engineered by Ghanaian engineers from the Bui Power Authority (BPA). This innovative project showcases Ghana's commitment to leveraging clean energy and reducing its carbon footprint.
The floating solar power plant is a groundbreaking solution that utilises photovoltaic modules on water bodies, optimising land use while enhancing the efficiency of the solar panels.
Additionally, it helps conserve water by reducing evaporation from the surface. This technology can be deployed on ponds, lakes, reservoirs, or other water bodies.

apnews.com South Sudan opposition says its leader Machar has been arrested as UN warns of a renewed civil war
South Sudan’s main opposition party says its leader Riek Machar has been arrested. The U.N. recently warned that the country is on the brink of a renewed civil war.
First few paragraphs:
JUBA, South Sudan (AP) — South Sudan’s main opposition party said its leader Riek Machar has been arrested as the U.N. called on all parties to uphold the 2018 agreement that ended the country’s civil war.
The U.N. had warned on Monday that the country was teetering on the edge of a renewed civil war after fighting in the north between an armed group allied to Machar and government forces.
Machar was “in confinement by the government” and his life was “at risk,” opposition spokesperson Pal Mai Deng said in a video address to the media Wednesday night.
The head of the U.N mission in South Sudan, Nicholas Haysom, said following reports of the detention of Machar, all parties should “exercise restraint and uphold the Revitalized Peace Agreement.”
South Sudan’s five-year civil war, in which 400,000 people were killed, ended in a 2018 peace agreement that brought President Salva Kiir and Machar together in a unity government.
Large cuts are happening in all country offices of IOM.

Alot of people are really helpful for any questions you might ask, as long as you are respectful
Thanks for the answer. I suppose getaround is like uber in that the organization doesn't own the cars. That's an interesting model to have a lot of cars quickly.
How do car share coops work? Have you ever been a member or started a car coop?
This was a very disturbing read. I'm glad some of the survivors found each and other and are coming out with story, and I hope wierdo gets prison time so he won't be able to do this to anyone else
Way to go, Paris! The speed of change is really remarkable!
