Personal growth is hard when you leave no room (time) for it.


Tried using the CFFI library with libmtp to put together a script for grabbing photos off my phone, but libmtp didn't like #Android's custom flavor of MTP. Ended up just wrapping aft-mtp-cli instead. 👍 #Python


I wonder how many people know that #Google didn't create #Android, but acquired it.


What's your favorite #podcatcher? I need at minimum an #Android app (I'm without data service from time to time), but I would be fine with hosting a Web service that it integrates with.

I just use the #rss reader CommaFeed.com. It is web based, but I installed as a #pwa . Works well for me, but I am a simple man.

Anyone know of a good #GinRummy app for #Android ? How about #Klondike #Solitaire ? Looking for something preferable #FOSS .




Why is the MTP/PTP file transfer on # so unreliable? ADB worked far better, until Google blocked it.

Well Android seems to me a closed system (only open to internet...) and share something has to be via internet.

What i use for transfer mobile photos? LR mobile, when Wlan is availabe, transfer to cloud , out of the cloud with a probgram on laptop.... Cumbersome? Jup.

Well i can not change the lens on my mobile.... not a real camera...

Seems so wasteful to send files over the cloud between two devices adjacent to each other, though.

Oh yes. It is for my workflow the best method. It is for me very easy to shoot film and put those pics into internet. And like mostly all my digital files...Using a computer. Not a mobile...

And those window editions (win8 and win10) --- well back in the day it was very easy. Before internet...

Had not tried bluetooth so far...
