Hi everyone,
I currently use Telegram to send photos, PDFs and text messages between my Android phone and my Debian laptop. It works, but everything goes through a third-party server, and I would like a fully local, privacy-friendly alternative.
What I need: Send photos, PDFs and other files in both directions (phone ↔ laptop) Send short text messages or clipboard content Works locally
Thanks for any advice and experience!
Cable
Me grabs a cable: “F*ck, it’s a charging only cable!”
Me grabs another cable: “F*ck, it’s USB 2 only!”
Me grabs another cable: “F*ck, the connection is dropping/flakey!”
seriously, wtf are we doing anymore. you plug in a usb cable and be done with it.
also, don’t forget the power and speed of adb vs mtp.
I feel like a giant idiot for not having thought about it for months lol
