Better to avoid 3 k’s where possible.
The KDE Konnect Kult: Where acronyms shouldn’t be used.
F-Droid is the more valuable app store anyway. I always check there before Google Play.
Forged google play, use the aurora store instead
You guys are checking Google Play?
Check Neo Store. It is an alternative front end to F-droid and has been way less buggy for me. Though to be fair just yesterday it ate up 20% of my battery life due to not being able to sync a repo (I think), but that hasn’t happened before.
I use Droid-ify myself. It looks like Neo Store is a fork of it. Although neither has been updated for a number of months, Droid-ify’s latest version is most recent.
I’ve tried droidify before it doesn’t seem to allow parallel download similar to that in aurora store
aurora droid is imo pretty good
The first time it paused my YouTube video inside Firefox when a call came in on my phone, it blew my mind. And then when the call ended, it just casually resumed the video. I love it. That, the clipboard syncing and easy sharing of files between devices make it absolutely awesome to have.
Especially the file sharing for me. I was previously using USB cable, but during large transfers it tends to just randomly disconnect (thanks MTP). Over WiFi I get faster transfer speeds and it doesn’t keep disconnecting.
Although yes, theoretically I could move .tar archive or individual files over WiFi using netcat and Termux, but that’s not the most elegant solution.
Also for some reason netcat is somewhat broken on Manjaro.Ok, the issue isn’t with nc.Ok (2) it is netcat. I just added a 2nd layer of issues that made me think it’s not.Edit 3: Ok. MAYBE netcat. I can see incoming connection in Wireshark and it sends back TCP RST. Edit 4: Tried with UDP, I can see the received text in Wireshark, netcat drank methanol.
I’ve always used
python3 -m http.serverto get files from PC->phone.For phone -> PC I use a library called
droopy.py
Happy to stumble across this meme. I didn’t know KDE Connect was a thing
Well as one of today’s lucky 10,000, let me tell you it’s not dependent on the KDE/Android combo. There are versions for Windows, macOS, and iOS (although some functionality is missing).
Upvote for relevant xkcd
It’s one of the reasons my next phone will be Android (with a non-spying custom ROM) instead of an iPhone. Although KDE Connect is already surprisingly powerful on the latter given the limitations of the platform.
The sheer amount of utility Connect has on iOS is insane. It’s starting to compete with handoff and iCloud sharing with how many features they’re recreating.
Google Play
Is that like Aurora Store for google cucks?
I had no idea what that was, but I just installed it off F-Droid and it looks sick
This is why I like Lemmy. You scroll through it and suddenly learn about neat free software you’ve never heard of, unlike Reddit where you would scroll through it and learn a new slur for an ethnic group you’ve never heard of.
