Nostr Web Client

I don't think the KDE Connect devs can do anything to fix this, the issue is on iOS's end, as it restricts background processes. There are some workarounds, like what folks do with Syncthing, but nothing is perfect. (To be fair, Android is also heading in the same direction… Without rooting the device, using something like Shikuzu or falling back all the way to adb level there are some annoying restrictions on Androis)

But fair enough, it sounds like the purpose of your post was to vent your frustrations and announce your decision. You weren't looking for help or alternatives (apologies, I misunderstood your post). Since you know what you're doing and why you're doing it, all I can say is: welcome back to macOS :).

I am looking for viable options to Apple's universal clipboard. Kool Desktop Environment Connect does go someway, but not enough.

I'm actually sticking with Google Keep for now, but this will limit my ability to integrate Fedora into my work flow.

I never left Mac OS, but I would / will if / when Linux desktop is as usable as MacOS. Linux is a lot better than it was about 5 years ago when I last tried it in earnest.

I think Apple, along with Uber, Amazon, Netflix..... are all experiencing what Cory Doctorow described as enshitification 😂

Agreed (about the enshittification thing). Again, assuming you're looking for alternatives (you're a difficult man to understand, Mike 🤣), I'm not sure about iOS support, as the background process restrictions make Universal Clipboard or any sort of background sync a real PITA to implement. But try the PushBullet Pro thing linked above (you can get your money back if it doesn't work for you). Before KDE Connect matured, I used it and AirDroid on Android, and they both did the job quite well for me.

Otherwise, copying and pasting to Google Keep, Signal notes or whatever else is as good of a workaround as any. While not anywhere as convenient, it gets the work done.

Difficult?

Me? 😂

Thanks for the PushBullet recommendation 🫂

It may be a "me" problem as well. I tend to treat every post on Nostr (and life in general) as if had an implicit #asknostr tag, and sometimes folks aren't asking for help, lol. Good luck!
