This is going ro leave a shit-ton of people dead in the water.
The app is not going to suddenly stop working, and it's unlikely to do so before a replacement appears.
Oh, yeah, he did mention there's another update for December. But it's still an issue for many people. Moving to privacy is convoluted enough, it's even rougher when you have to forcibly change your streamlines.
The way i understand it, this stops maintenance for Syncthing, but Syncthing-fork in fdroid will continue its development and support as usual. Both show if you do a Syncthing search in fdroid. The fork is more up to date with features.
In all honesty, I had no idea about the fork. I really appreciate the information. Time to take it for a spin. Do you know if I can import the settings from the original one on the fork?
Yes you can. I just did it without any issues.
Sweet. Thanks.
Edit: It's not working for me on GrapheneOS Android 15 Beta. Can't start anything because of how it's displaying.
Never used GrapheneOS. Did it export and import okay? Looks like not.
Oh, that's the thing. Since the menu and settings are showing so high up, they are no accepting the touch commands. I exported from the original app, but the fork just won't work. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. I'll stay in the original Syncthing for now and try again once it stops getting maintained. Thanks anyways for all the info.
That's a bugger! Maybe report it as an issue on their github so you can track when it's fixed?
Yeah, I'll take some time to do that over the weekend. Thanks. Love the handle by the way. Grandpa 😁
