Here's a good reason why you should run an ad blocker. Block the Google Analytics script from loading entirely.

Google Analytics gives you insights on what pages people visit, how long they spend, what kind of browsers and devices they use. That can give them data on what pages are important to customers and what screen sizes to support

I'd rather they self host this data vs use Google Analytics, but there are benefits.

They started charging money for Docker Desktop for companies and they have been adding pull limits on Docker Hub.

The laptops are manufactured in Taiwan. There's so much unpredictability in the tariffs so they're delaying until it settles down. Tariffs are going to impact US companies and US residents.

Oh that would be nice. I would use that to just go into the database and fix all my broken music metadata which I can't see to fix any other way.

You're right. Unfortunately, open-source has proven time and time again to be unsustainable and burn maintainers out

That's a good reason for people to take the money they would have spent buying a proprietary solution and instead donate that money to an open source project. For me it's not always about the cost, but what I get out of it. I'd rather the money go to the community and better it.

 

Announcement by the creator: https://forum.syncthing.net/t/discontinuing-syncthing-android/23002

Unfortunately I don’t have good news on the state of the android app: I am retiring it. The last release on Github and F-Droid will happen with the December 2024 Syncthing version.

Reason is a combination of Google making Play publishing something between hard and impossible and no active maintenance. The app saw no significant development for a long time and without Play releases I do no longer see enough benefit and/or have enough motivation to keep up the ongoing maintenance an app requires even without doing much, if any, changes.

Thanks a lot to everyone who ever contributed to this app!
