@fdroidorg 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.

    Or they’re just autistic and not good at communication.

    Shit happens, and while the initial transfer was sketchy, everything I read from the new maintainer appeared to be in good faith.

        Ok, I poked through that thread and a few other linked threads…

        Big yikes. It definitely took a turn downhill. And posting what is essentially a “cease and desist” on nel0x’s repo over the name without actually trying to do things properly.

        I’ll start using nel0x’s fork instead once he starts putting up non-gplay builds.
