That takes a lot more effort.

With Syncthing, I don't have to setup a server, poke holes in my firewall/expose ports, etc.

Plus Foldersync is way harder on battery, I've experimented a lot.

And I've used Foldersync since at least 2010 - it's great, really has it's uses.

Maybe I'm misremembering, but I thought they used Syncthing as part of a business not directly related to Möbius - as a vendor supplying data management solutions to other companies. I suspect Möbius came out of need for their clients.

I can picture the vendor website in my head, just wish I could remember who it was for sure.

I would eagerly pay for syncthing, it's that important to me. I keep hundreds of gigs moving around using it. It's on my annual donate list already, but clearly that's insufficient.

Maybe the Syncthing-Fork dev will keep it going.

iOS is already more restricted on app sandboxes, and Möbius can handle it in the paid version.

On Android, Resilio somehow has more file access than Syncthing, even without root (it can read/write to either SD card root, while Syncthing can only write to a subfolder of SD0, and can't write anywhere of an external SD). So there's something going on.

I can only hope the company makes the iOS client (Möbius) decides they need syncthing to continue and decide to get behind it.

As I recall, they use Syncthing as a solution in their business, this would be a big-break for them.

And yet Resilio can access a lot more than ST, even without root.

It can do sync jobs in a very similar way as syncthing.

But I find Resilio to use more RAM because it stores the file DB in RAM. This kills a phone, but isn't a big issue for a desktop.

Hahaha, right,right.

Making something usable by more people is "severely inconveniencing" someone. 🤦‍♂️

The UI shitshow today is unbelievable. Low contrast being the "cool" thing. I have great Vision and find it frustrating - I can only imagine what it's like for people with vision issues.

Phones in 1998/99 had BT, well before smart phones.

Thanks, it's been a while.

Two things:

You've accused them of being hostile here, and of arguing elsewhere.

This very post by you comes across as hostile to me.

Paradigm is everything, and here you are attempting to be the arbiter if what's acceptable.

You've also made your own bias clear by labelling someone as "coming from lemmy.ml". You're attacking the person from the start.

Try not to be hypocritical.
