Syncthing never had an official Android app, and the current iteration, Syncthing-Fork, is updated quite frequently.

I try to stay away from the play store at this point. Even Tasker is sourced from the dev himself (license is like $4, absolutely worth it), and is more capable than the play store version.

Glad you figured it out, but I’m really not liking this trend of “just search for it” in settings. Settings should be organized in a way that makes sense for the user.

/r/conservative gets a pass on a lot of shit. Admins don’t like it when they get called out for it.

I try to get banned as much as I can there until every IP I use to make accounts is IP banned. Which means entire physical sites can get banned if I try hard enough.

Edit: Got a 7-day ban for saying fascists should be shot and left for dead in the street.

The cruelty is the point

If pirates are going to keep hiding behind the “piracy is a service problem” line then at some point they do need to admit that paying for the product is actually the more sensible and straightforward option if they have reached a deadend elsewhere.

Uh, yeah, that’s why “piracy is a service problem” was even a thing in the first place. Music is a great example, because you can get nearly every artist on every streaming service.

This is a widely-known fact often acknowledged by most pirate types.

How is the Remarkable thing for those of us with… questionable handwriting?

I have objectively terrible handwriting, and I find taking written notes is far slower than just typing it out in OneNote/Joplin/what have you.

Remember when the ISP lobbyist, Tom Wheeler, got put in charge of the FCC, miraculously turned his views around, and passed net neutrality regulations?

I wish that was the case right now.

That’s a fair point, and I suppose the majority of people who use VPN services regularly (outside of a corporate environment) would be the ones to immediately jump ship if such legislation was even mentioned.

Sure, but I’m curious why it hasn’t already happened. Wouldn’t it be spun as “destruction of evidence” or whatever? Or could it be argued that since their “no logs” policy was established prior to any particular suspect utilizing their services, that it would not be destruction of evidence as there would’ve been no evidence to begin with?

I’m genuinely curious, this shit fascinates me.

I’m curious now, though - what’s stopping a US court from ordering all US-based VPN services to retain logs?

I wouldn’t exactly call Tim Berners-Lee a “libertarian tech bro”.

The CEO doesn’t own Proton, for what it’s worth. He may have founded it, but he does not have complete and total control over anything that Proton offers, as some here may believe.

Just FYI, the majority of Proton AG (which includes all Proton services) is owned by a non-profit body called the “Proton Foundation”. This are headed by a board of 5 members, including Andy (CEO) and Tim Berners-Lee (the literal father of the internet as we know it).

Proton is fine.

not-disclosed buyout

That alone would make me jump ship. VPNs need to be transparent about this kind of shit to their paying users.

Edit: FYI, this is in the works https://webhosting.today/2025/01/15/miss-group-prepares-for-sale-what-lies-ahead-for-the-nordic-hosting-giant/

You’re not wrong.

Just to be clear: Android is NOT becoming closed source! Google remains committed to releasing Android source code (during monthly/quarterly releases, etc.) , BUT you won’t be able to scour the AOSP Gerrit for source code changes like you could before.

Sure, but companies who employ DRM have argued against that grey area since DRM was a thing. Something something IP/copyright/licensing/whatever bullshit… IMO: fuck you, I bought it, I own it, eat shit.

Removing DRM has always been “illegal”.

However: German concentration camps were legal, while families protecting Jewish citizens from being taken to said concentration camps was strictly illegal.

What’s legal is not always right (ethically and morally), and what’s right is not always legal. Remember that.

I mean, Google just updated the newer Pixels to run a literal Debian VM, so… I don’t see why not.
