- Comment on Syncthing Android app discontinued 3 months ago:
As the statement says I wont - it will be fully discontinued. This statement applies to the official app. It doesn’t say anything about other apps or forks. All the code is free.

I am not the creator, funnily that is/was one of the Lemmy creators: Nutomic :)
I am a syncthing co-maintainer that kept the android app on life support since a while. - Comment on Syncthing Android app discontinued 3 months ago:
It’s all in the open, you can go dig around for reasons. As usual there wasn’t a single simple one. Neither was it some kind of complete fallout, we e.g. collaborated on translations and I have been in contact around various things with the one that forked.

Oh don’t worry to much, mine too: If there wasn’t an alternative for syncthing on android, I might have kept it on lifesupport :)
- Comment on Am I the only one who missed the Owncloud rewrite in Go? 7 months ago:
That’s indeed confusing. The wording linked below suggests the eula is for packages distributed by owncloud. so to my understanding the source itself and any third party packages don’t need to care about it.
- Comment on I just had an idea that people smarter than me have probably had long before I heard of Lemmy.....but I don't see it implemented, so I'm sharing it anyways!!! 7 months ago:
Yeah I was also thinking about multiple users for this, but that’s a terrible hack on so many levels…

Yeah that sounds good too, but it’s but the same thing. I just want a client side filter for lists of communities. No need to involve AP or get consensus amongst many users/communities, just my preferences. If we want to get fancy, have some APIs to store these lists server side so or can with across clients - still strictly single user. It feels so simple I am tenors to get my hands dirty, but for one diving into a new project is usually quite since work and it hardly ever turns out to be as easy as it seems (then again the new python lemmylike thing already has it instance wide, so it at least is doable).
- Comment on Announcing Ibis, the federated Wikipedia Alternative 11 months ago:
Honest question out of interest: Are you doing moderation on lemmy? I just remember reading about admins/mods complaining about the lack of tooling, sometimes plain functionality (removal of certain things) for effective moderation. I am not doing any myself so that’s very 3rd-party-ish knowledge (if you even want to call it that).
- Comment on Announcing Ibis, the federated Wikipedia Alternative 11 months ago:
Looks like a federated wiki, which is great. And not a Wikipedia alternative. What makes wikipedia wikipedia is not the tech. Social and knowledge problems can’t be solved with tech ;) As much as Wikipedia has issues, as the ibis announcement states, it also works in many places. And federating it won’t help with the issues of bad moderation, quite the contrary. And as much as I like nutomic (thanks for syncthing-android ;) ), I don’t hear many good things about the lemmy moderation story. So I have my doubts. Lets hope I am wrong. Plus anyway, federated wikis is a great thing to have, ignoring the whole Wikipedia aspect.
- Comment on Solar-Powered Farming Is Quickly Depleting the World's Groundwater Supply 11 months ago:
Please look at past trends in fertility, and predictions of reputable, independent sources. The growth rate is already sinking fast (just in case: the rate is sinking, population is still growing). With the current/recent situation, in the short term the growth continues, but slows and mid-term there will be a reduction in population. And already today we do have the means to support this population much more sustainable, we just choose not to (we even produce food to turn it into gasoline o.O ): It would require a massive wealth/standards re-distribution, and re-distribution is socialist and thus bad (/s in case that’s necessary). A possible starting point: ourworldindata.org/population-growth-over-time
- Comment on Offshore Wind Runs Into Rising Costs and Delays 1 year ago:
I hope it costs those companies a ton of money to walk away from the auctioned contracts. Sounds like a typical problem of many public construction projects: They get evaluated on cost only, many companies (in bad faith or not) bid at crazy low prices and thus get the contract over other companies which might be much better set up to get the project to completion in time/in budget/on good standards. And as they are better set up, they likely have a better handle on real costs - as in actual subject experts evaluate costs, not just some sales/business people making optimistic estimates (“guesstimates”). And maybe even finance people thinking about stuff like possible higher inflation ahead of time and counting that in/hedging against that (not sure if hedging on inflation is a thing, but then again almost everything seems to be a thing in finance so I assume it is :P ).

It’s working for me now, so likely resolved in the meantime or a local issue.
