Security reminder:

When's the last time you've checked that your other LUKS keyslots are still empty?

When Big Tech clouds fail, are censored, or collude with the (US) government, which would you choose for private messaging?

Sorry, but you can't dance here.

It's a non breaking space.

Reason 5: in July of this year, copilot-instructions.md appeared, and commits from GitHub Copilot were allowed.

Does @fdroidorg have a stance on the usage of Copilot or GenAI code?

Addendum: I will gladly overreact for an app that has the sacred "Access All Files" permission.

I don't trust syncthing-fork anymore.

1. App ID changed with version 2.x, seemingly for no reason.

2. catfriend1, the original maintainer has disappeared with no public announcement.

3. Apparently the Play signing keys were transferred to a Github user with a 5 day old account.

4. The old repo does redirect to this new user's repo.

It could be benign and another case of FOSS devs "moving on," quietly. But my paranoia prevails.
