the #Syncthing Android drama is exploding. https://github.com/researchxxl/syncthing-android/issues/16 @[email protected] at this point is being used to push out an app with sensitive permissions that's been taken over by an unknown individual who refuses to engage with its large community of users and developers. I STRONGLY recommend disabling updates from Fdroid, if not uninstalling and manually installing 2.0.11.2, or installing the Google Play version which has a different maintainer. this is extremely shady and it's just looking worse as time goes on. I'll link to the Syncthing forum thread from about where I left off last time in a subsequent post. #SyncthingFork #SyncthingAndroid

    Stealing another comment’s update (thanks @[email protected] ), because catfriend1 explicitly says the new maintainer reseachxxl was willingly given the key material, which is how the update was pushed in the first place l:

    Update: it seems that as of a few hours ago, Catfriend1 broke the silence and confirmed the transfer to researchxxl:

    Therefore, I did hand over all my stuff to my inheritant @researchxxl inluding the com.github.catfriend1* apps, digital signing material and wish them the best to fulfill the mission of carrying on the Syncthing-Fork app. :woman_technologist: We have met in online gaming and developing modding code together for a level that tells the story of a research station attacked by some alien-like monsters. Two players do have to cooperate on fixing electrical devices, a low power emitting nuclear reactor and avoiding a bath in acid. If you stumble upon the game, say hello to us during our test sessions. :slightly_smiling_face:
