Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • Β

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Neat app! Definitely will try it when I get home.

    [–] Darorad@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    It's actually fine, those permissions are all for actual features, and you only need to grant if you want to use the features that require them.

    [–] WereCat@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

    Yes, I'm just pointing out there is no tracking. Permissions are fine depending on context of what the app actually does

    I never could get it to work in KDE Neon.

    [–] kartonrealista@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    You're missing out. The trackpad function is amazing, not having to get up from bed when your desk is too far is a god send. I know I could buy a wireless mouse, but why if you can just use your phone?

    [–] mvirts@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

    This, it works great. Also it's the future we deserve. Screw rational feature design for the common denominator, I want my phone to control my computer in every way possible and vice versa.

    you need to be on the same network which also means excluding VPN on local network (or connect both PC and phone on the same VPN network)

    KDE connect is so good it works better than the windows built-in integration to android.

    [–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    I cannot say I know if this is a function on the Linux version, but one tiny gripe I have with Connect is that I can send my clipboard from my phone to my windows desktop but not vise versa.

    I can definitely say, though, that the pretty much only other function I use (file sending) is pretty good when I want/need to send smaller things to my desktop and vice versa.

    Because it wasn't made by King K. Rool

    While I love the idea of KDE Connect, in practice the SMS feature doesn't work reliably at all.

    [–] baggins@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Don't forget you can't send pictures from your PC because... reasons.
