Hey guys, I’m playing Pandemic Legacy and I was the first to eradicate the red virus so now I get to name it! Let me know if you have any good exocomics-related names :D

If you don’t know what Pandemic Legacy is then shhh don’t worry.

    Depends.

    Android? Easy. Just plug it in and then just do the old drag’n’drop.

    iPhone? Oof. Um. Yeah… Uh…

      My iPhone syncs to my Mac wirelessly. I open Photos, I drag and drop to desktop.

      I’m trying to figure out how to replicate this on Linux before I switch to Graphene and Linux fully.

        The main issue is/was when you have and iPhone and you don’t have a Mac and you don’t have an iTunes sync account.

        Sure, for an iPhone it’s all fine and dandy when you’re fully buying into their closed and restricted ecosystem. But try to step one tippy toe out of it and you’re in for pain.

        Anyway, as for the latter; KDE Connect, like the other guy said.

          I have stepped out of it. It’s not that painful. I keep hearing this walled garden stuff applied to Macs, yet somehow I play Switch games on Mac OS 🤔

          That is also not an issue. There are loads of ways. You can literally drag them out of the phone on a windows machine, it appears as a camera when plugged in. I can even open the files app on my iphone and drag them directly onto my windows server share. Or plug a usb-c thumb drive into the phone and whack em on there.

          It’s no longer 2009 lol.

            I know that today it’s not as awful as it was, but those are fairly recent changes. Not something that was only briefly around at the beginning of the iPhone.
