- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.

in Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts

I'm not really familiar with KDE connect (and new to Linux in general, but can't see myself ever going back to Windows), could you elaborate on the first part? How does KDE Connect help you watch firefox videos on your phone? Thanks!
Somehow, KDE Connect treats a media stream happening on a connected device the same as if it's playing on your local device. If you're playing a video on your laptop in Firefox it will add one of those "music player" things in your phone's notification shade, allowing you to control the video from your phone.
Android automagically pauses everything it deems to be "media playback" until the end of your call, thus also pausing that Firefox video on your laptop.
Oh nice, that sounds cool. Not an implementation of that type of software that I would ever have thought of.
