Considering that your're not allowed to do anything interesting with the system when developing for ios, that's not surprising to me. I connect my android with my gnu/linux machine and my windows videogame box, that's al

Hate to be that guy, but I copy paste clipboard contents across devices with kde connect. It's so reliable that I tried doing it when fixing my mum's computer without realizing it's not a magic built in thing that computers j

Do you actually use reddit? It's an extremely cancerous experience on mobile, they actively work on making the ui as inconvenient as possible. Every iteration of reddits ui is even slower than the last one, which I consider quite an ac

Because we're not talking about human beings. We're talking about huge, huge collectives of humans that are impossible to trust or predict. Think of states like you do of corproations: You wouldn't trust a corporation to do &

I'm not sure how high your requirement on the "it just werks" factor are, but I can not recommend borgbackup enough for general use. They have a script[0] for local backups one can copy-paste in a cronjob and it takes care of

Your employer who's afraid of a pr disaster cares. Maybe your landlord cares. Some of the more unstable mobsters might care and threaten your physical well-being. Those three points happened already, they destroyed lifes and careers. A

I can highly recommend OsmAnd+ for navigation, it's fully customizable to whatever you want it to do (I was rather suprised it had relevant hiking routes available on my last vacation). You can tell it to use the direction it gets from
