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

    It always is. The thing with FOSS vs a private company is that internal debates are:

    1. Public
    2. Involving people working for free

    Meaning we not only see the ““drama””, but that it can become more verbally intense. Buuuuut it almost never ends up mattering much to the average user, and when it does, the public certainly won’t learn about it on github or the replies to a toot.
