Does iOS have a KDEConnect compatible client IPA yet?
<https://i.postimg.cc/Kc7k2hwv/kdeconnect00.jpg>

As you may know, the cross platform power of KDEConnect is fantastic:
o KDE Connect is a keeper for sending & receiving files over your
Wi-Fi LAN to/from any desktop to/from any Android phone!
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/4x1rf1JefW8>

While KDEConnect started on Linux, it's been ported to all desktops.
o KDE Connect is Now Available for macOS (September 2019)
<https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/07/kde-connect-mac-os-integrate-android>
Where KDEConnect does a lot more than just send/receive encrypted files.

I'd like KDEConnect cross-platform power on my iOS devices too.
<https://i.postimg.cc/fTcRd7Dz/kdeconnect06.jpg>

This thread suggests there was a "half finished" iOS port 2 years ago:
o KDE Connect in iOS
<https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/7eun1h/kde_connect_in_ios/>

Given there is a KDEConnect for every _other_ common consumer platform...
o The question here is whether iOS has a KDEConnect port extant?

Usenet is so much more valuable, and pleasant, when people act like adults.

So like you can do with the File app on iOS...

Can you explain why anyone should care, Liar?

Yes, if no one replies for a period of time, hopefully less than

For the permanent Usenet record on this well-cited factual topic...
o I do not respond to people who claim all facts are lies by liars.

The fact is that apologists _hate_ that Apple iOS is utterly primitive
o Every other platform has functionality that iOS simply utterly lacks.

By brazenly instantly claiming that all facts are lies...
*Apologists _always_ prove to be fantastically _immune_ to facts*

It's why they're apologists' after all...
o They believe in marketing more than they can comprehend facts.

As an adult, and as a courtesy to other adults on this ng,
I do not reply to the incessant childish response to facts by
apologists to all facts they don't like of "Liar liar, pants on fire".

When apologists' instant response to facts is to deny facts as "lies"...
o Then adults realize it's how apologists maintain imaginary beliefs.

It's as if they're fifth-grade bullies told for the first time Santa Claus,
the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy aren't real.

Apologists only have 7 response to known facts; none of which are adult.

None of the threads he starts are useful as you, yourself admit...

...so just kill the thread.

You're using Thunderbird, so it takes no time at all. There's even an
"Ignore Subthread" option.

It isn't much fun for the other folks in the room.

Hi Bernd Froehlich,

Unlike Alan Baker, you actually don't lack the capacity to add value, so if
you're filtering "me" out, then that tells me a _lot_ about you.

Are you?

Those who choose to filter out facts clearly choose to remain ignorant.

Definitely filter him out, trying to debate with him is the same as banging
your head against a brick wall, in fact, I take that back. A brick wall is
more likely to listen to what you are saying.

Wow... perhaps for the first time ever, None said something important!

I _love_ None's characterization since he _knows_ I only speak *facts*.

*None trying to "debate me" is like him banging his head against facts*.

The facts that None utterly hates are the brick walls he can't knock down!

Perfect!

The best way to deal with the apologists, is simply to point to facts.

You apologists prove to be no different than flat earthers...

I've been on Usenet for decades before I started to wonder why all you
apologists literally _hated_ facts (& you hate any adult who bears facts).

As None so aptly stated just moments ago, you bang your head against facts
because you apologists are desperate to maintain your wholly imaginary
belief systems, which are easily proven to be utterly devoid of facts.

By way of stark contrast...
o On the Android newsgroup, facts are simply accepted.
o On the Linux newsgroups, facts are simply accepted.

Why do these adult participants accept facts while the Apple users can't?
o I don't know.

I suspect the Apple user is inexorably drawn to Apple products by the
seductive messages of Apple Marketing (admittedly the finest on earth).

*Facts are brick walls to your purely imaginary belief systems*...
o *You bang your head against facts*.
--
The apologists consider all facts brick walls they can never knock down!

I don't know who you're talking about, Liar.

I don't hate facts.

You mean your assertions are simply accepted.

oh, it’s considered a pest elsewhere, too. Go to alt.comp.os.windows-10,
for example, and have a look at Why does A. Holder Persecute Others?

Apparently the troll-bot is considered to be an attention whore, a troll, and
a would-be bully whose opinions are without value and who lacks the authority
to tell anyone to do anything.

Watching the troll-bot explode in fury has been very amusing.

Regarding
o Transferring Photos from iPhone to Windows 10 laptop and "Device is

<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/8TQk81xCjVw>

... There's a great app called "KDE Connect" which transfers
almost anything you like between the device and the computer
via your WiFi connection.
o KDE Connect is a keeper for sending & receiving files over your Wi-Fi LAN
to/from any desktop to/from any Android phone!

You just need to know where to get the right software:
o Quick tutorial for installing KDEConnect freeware on Windows & Android
for seamless WiFi LAN bidirectional file encrypted copy
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.comp.freeware/9S3j2XN1zDg>

I don't think that KDE Connect app is available on iOS though...
o Does iOS have a cross-platform KDEConnect compatible client IPA yet?
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/IV9V9YFoqbs>

But something similar, you'd think, "should" exist on iOS, shouldn't it?
