* I fixed some minor bits and pieces
* I would like a review of
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/libksysguard/-/merge_requests/90  as I
think a few people are talking about a ksysguard memory leak
* and I want to bump:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-pa/-/merge_requests/18  I've done
the boring work to get the data, but it could do with someone visual
exposing this in the UI(s) (volume monitor in pulseaudio applet)
* Also I would like to get somewhere with updating the telemetry data:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/223
I'm a bit frustrated there. It's blocked but without any suggestions
on how to move forward
[Discussion on telemetry tuff happened, various proposals on how
update what's collected telling the user]
