Sony shipped literal rootkits with their software years ago.

Syncthing isn't going anywhere. The Android app is the only thing that was dropped, and that was only because of Google's increasingly-difficult requirements to publish on the Play Store.

Syncthing-Fork is the spiritual successor to the original Android app and can be found on F-Droid.

Syncthing was only ever self-hosted...

You really need to clarify your comment, as it's already causing confusion.

  1. The official Syncthing project is going strong, and is not the same thing as the Android app.
  2. The Android app was discontinued late last year due to Google's increasingly difficult requirements to publish on the Play Store.
  3. Syncthing-Fork is now what Syncthing recommends for Android users.

Sipes emphasizes that any remote processing features attached to Thunderbird Assist will always be optional, in the interest of ensuring complete user privacy.”

That's a lot of words to say "we made an AI that totally won't suck up your data, trust me bro"

My UDM has this capability. I've blocked quite a few countries that it logged as trying to get into my network. Great little internet cylinder.

playstation

The game console, made by Sony, who famously keeps trying to fuck everyone else over?

Because people are stupid, will fuck up their device/s, and then complain to the manufacturer about how their device was ruined.

It's an incredibly stupid argument, but it's their argument nonetheless. Something something "for your safety/protection/security/etc"....i.e. "Trust us".

I think root privileges should be available as well, but in a way that 1) only someone who knows what the fuck they're doing can access, and 2) can be done entirely locally, without calling to a server controlled by the manufacturer.
