N.A. FerrellI try to provide unique content. While I cannot say anything for certain, it seems unlikely that you will find another screenshot of a phone running /e/ OS receiving a KDE Connect notification that it has pinged and received 21 photos from a BlackBerry Classic running BlackBerry 10. <br>
<br>
This was part of my project to transfer about 200 photos from my BlackBerry Classic to my computer (running Manjaro Linux). Step one was using KDE Connect to move the photos from my BlackBerry to my phone. Step two was using Syncthing to sync the folder on my phone with my computer. (I did not want to install KDE Connect on my computer because of the dependencies.) The mission was exhausting, but ultimately successful.<br>

N.A. FerrellFelt a bit nostalgic yesterday evening. For newcomers to my profile or those who don't study those hashtags too closely, many of my earlier Pixelfed posts came from my BlackBerry Classic. Most are tagged with <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/shotonblackberry?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shotonblackberry</a> and <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/blackberryclassic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blackberryclassic</a> . The Classic has a decent camera for close-up shots and it works well with the Open Camera App on F-Droid.<br>
