What's going on with Syncthing for Android?
It seems like the project suddenly disappeared and the maintainer has set his profile on github to privat.
However, it seems like another github account has taken over the project. There has been no communication why the project has been handed over. This is worrying, since the new account has access to the signing keys of the app and at least theoretically it could be possible to add malicious code to this widely used app.
I would like to keep thinking that Syncthing is still trustworthy, but to be honest, as long as we don't know what's going on, I'm not sure.

Age-verification mandates create barriers along lines of race, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, immigration status, and socioeconomic class. Here’s 10 (not so) hidden ways how. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/10-not-so-hidden-dangers-age-verification
@effElectronic Frontier Foundation Lawmakers who draft/enact Age Verification and similar policies insist that said policies are about "child safety." But anyone with even rudimentary critical thinking skills knows that is not true
The true purposes of these policies are as follows:
-Make organizing protests virtually impossible
-Erase marginalized groups from the internet
-Make accessing vital resources much harder, if not impossible
-Erase anything that dilutes the state's ability to brainwash the populace (Palestine, Environmentalism, LGBTQ+ rights, Voting Rights, Reproductive Rights, Immigration, etc.).
-To "return" sexuality and expression in general back to their "proper" place in society and make adult art, sex work, etc. more precarious, more exploitable, and with less recourse to any law or institution
-General petty spite towards people who don't treat lawmakers like deities
Overall, de-anonymization won't make kids safe and it won't result in a more polite internet (just look at Facebook and LinkedIn).
Anyone who advocates for these policies shouldn't complain when their ID/Credit Card/Biometric data is inevitably leaked to the dark web and they have to deal with ID theft and such for years/decades.
They also shouldn't complain when they can't access a vital service and/or get jailed because either 1: The government didn't approve of what they said or 2: The extremely error prone AI that scans their messages thought the innocuous pic of their kids/pets was CSAM/Bestiality.

Somebody: “Emm, why nix? Did you know that using nix is against trans-rights?”
Me: “Ah, mate, kill me now. Another idiot. If nix was a closed source product for an evil corp, sure, I get it. But, it's a fricking open-source software, by using it i'm not submitting to anybody's ideology, religion, or politics. It's a piece of code, Free for everybody to use, modify and redistribute.

It's really awkward the person you have to sue is the government for censoring your software through Apple and not Apple for creating a situation where the government can censor your software.

Natürlich wäre es Musk lieber, sich mit kleinen Nationalstaaten, statt mit der EU-Kommission herumzuschlagen. Weil die EU als gemeinsamer Wirtschaftsraum ganz anders verhandeln &/ Regeln durchsetzen kann. Mit einem derart gigantischen Markt legen sich selbst die ganz Großen nicht so gerne an.🤷🏻♀️

I'm continuing to rip all my old DVDs, and now I can watch House M.D. as background noise. So, obviously, I am doing that.
It lands really differently than it did in 2004 (2004!? wtf!). And not in the ways you might expect. House's misogyny is a touch more grating than than it used to be, sure. But on the other hand, it's strangely utopian to imagine this world where people can just get healthcare. Everyone gets the tests, scans, medication, and surgeries they need. They get these things promptly, and without having to beg and plead with insurance companies.
This was obviously fantasy in 2004, but it would be entirely beyond belief, today.
Also, I've forgotten half the medical mysteries, so that's fun
