WHAT IF when I plugged the fucking thing in to the other thing it just worked like EVERY COMPUTER EVER? why are smartphones so hard to use? this has taken like 20 minutes at this point. how hard is it to just send a file

[0x6e6174@mastodon.catgirl.cloud]

like actually how is it this fucking hard to just send a file

[0x6e6174@mastodon.catgirl.cloud]

this is like the most basic operation possible between two computers

[aleteoryx@labyrinth.zone]

@0x6e6174 just send it over bluetooth it'll be done sometime this year

[awoo@gts.apicrim.es]

@0x6e6174 apparently not anymore ​

[awoo@gts.apicrim.es]

@0x6e6174 tbf at some point i would've just given up and thrown the files against my own server instead of dealing with that

[kirakira@furry.engineer]

@0x6e6174 i truly believe adb data transfer is Like That because google hates us, there's no other explanation for how bad it is

[0x6e6174@mastodon.catgirl.cloud]

@aleteoryx@labyrinth.zone you can do that??

[0x6e6174@mastodon.catgirl.cloud]

>connect exfat formatted usb stick with the .tar.gz to phone
>open the files
>click the tar.gz
>it opens the ebooks app?
>phone sends a notification asking to be restarted

how the hell do you extract a .tar.gz on a smartphone

[aleteoryx@labyrinth.zone]

@0x6e6174@mastodon.catgirl.cloud yes but it is extremely slow. like 4mb/min or something. you're trying to send music so i doubt it would actually help

on a more serious note maybe https://0x0.st or https://catbox.moe? it is ridiculous that one needs to get The Internet involved but I find that's the easiest way 99% of the time. alternatively python -m http.server if you're on the same LAN

[julia@eepy.moe]

@0x6e6174@mastodon.catgirl.cloud termux ih

[0x6e6174@mastodon.catgirl.cloud]

@aleteoryx@labyrinth.zone the file has gotten on to the smartphone. now we are trying to figure out how to extract a normal fucking archivee on a smart phone. it is not going well

[aleteoryx@labyrinth.zone]

@0x6e6174 termux? "fx file explorer" i know can do a lot of archives also

[0x6e6174@mastodon.catgirl.cloud]

@julia@eepy.moe what? is there not a way to do this without termux? what? you cannot extract archives on the smart phone without the terminal? what? what do people that are afraid of terminals do when they need to extract an archive?

[julia@eepy.moe]

@0x6e6174@mastodon.catgirl.cloud you can do zips just fine but afaik the files app on android doesn't support targz

[aleteoryx@labyrinth.zone]

@0x6e6174 this icon

[lunadragofelis@void.lgbt]

@0x6e6174 @aleteoryx I guess .zip might have been the better choice, it's the more compatible format

(as far as I know, Windows can't deal with .tar.gz either, without using third party software, unless they recently added that functionality)

[aleteoryx@labyrinth.zone]

@0x6e6174 clearly what is needed is a new ui redesign instead of basic fucking features like this. thank you google

[noisytoot@berkeley.edu.pl]

@0x6e6174 install termux and do it the normal way?

[0x6e6174@mastodon.catgirl.cloud]

@julia@eepy.moe how the hell do you not support the standard format? what? I'm not even sure if I have zip(1) on this computer
