I was trying to transfer an image (screenshot) from my computer to my phone (to text someone), but KDE Connect wasn't able to transfer it for some reason.

What did I do? Well, I didn't feel like cranking up #syncthing on my phone (it normally only runs on my phone while plugged in), so instead I pasted the image using xclip, uuencoded it, copied it back to the clipboard with xclip (all in one command). I then pasted the uuencoded text data onto a new note in #SimpleNote, then copied it on my phone and uudecoded it in #termux, then sent the photo via MMS.

Say it with me,NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD!!!!!!
