the #Syncthing Android drama is exploding. https://github.com/researchxxl/syncthing-android/issues/16 @fdroidorg@floss.social 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

    What do you mean by signed deploys? The APK is already signed, and this new person got the signing keys. I’m not sire any additional signing would have helped.
