My music stopped playing, the phone rang, I answered it.
After speaking for a few minutes, I hung up and the music started up again.

It took me a second to realize that the music wasn't coming from my phone, it was coming from my computer.

#KDEConnect is groovy, y'all. It pauses your music when a phone call comes in. (MPRIS-compatible player required, of course, but even mpv on the command line can do that)

@RL_Dane Oh cool, I didn't know about MPRIS until now! I've always wondered why mpv doesn't show up in my system tray while VLC and Firefox do when they play audio. Turns out that I needed to install mpv-mpris.

Also, is the name MPRIS supposed to a pun on "empress" or something? Maybe someone should make a useless MPRIS plugin for uWSGI emperor servers.

Well, it certainly is MPRISsive. 😂
