Almost any messaging app is better, the question is what do your friends use, and can you get them to switch.

I’m a fan of XMPP because it’s an established protocol you can host yourself (if you wanted) - this removes untrustworthy providers.

It really comes down to what’s your goal?

Ok, bye.

The problem is they are almost never good, as everyone can read the same info 4x faster than someone can present it (best case), and 10x faster isn’t unusual.

Source: Former technical trainer - I’ve read a lot about instructional methodologies. Video is the lowest common denominator that’s all. It can be useful for things that have a visual component, and self hosting has very little of that.

Seems there are 2 kinds - video links with almost no text, just farming visits, and video links with a wall of text.

Both suck. Videos, in general, suck.

So much of what goes on here needs text, lots of it. Video is slow and cumbersome.

Define share?

Keep all files in sync between two points?

Enable ad-hoc access to all files, or a subset?

Quit posting this nonsense under different accounts.

Chav is NOT a derogatory term for working class folks.

This is what I’m going to reply every time you post this garbage.

The Cambridge English Dictionary defines chav as “an insulting word for someone, usually a young person, whose way of dressing, speaking, and behaving is thought to show their lack of education and low social class.”

It’s based on behaviour.

Gonna need a source.

Also chav /= working class, no matter how much you make this claim and continue to post it.

I think it’s closely related to people with tens of thousands of emails in their inbox,

Nope.

I have a half dozen email address, about 20 aliases.

My inbox rarely has even 5 unopened emails.

I have 100+ tabs on desktop, over 100 on phone.

I was programming long before PC’s existed.

Your paradigm of the world isn’t everyone’s.

Tab History shows every instance of a tab, not just 1 for the 300 times you visited it.

Same problem as bookmarks.

My bookmarks are organized. Haven’t used any of them in 10 years.

It’s a great idea that I like, it just doesn’t work for me.

Tabs in the sidebar do.

So you admit to doing the same thing.

Good for you.

I simply scroll down my tab bar to what I’m looking for.

I’m down to 130 tabs from 170

Because, shockingly, not everyone sees the world the way you do.

Why do people consider the way others do things as flawed, or pathologize the behaviours of others?

Also, browser history is awful.

Hahahaha, right.

Thanks for the update

I’ve used Fork for so long I forget it’s a separate app

Thing is, even using this new app it’s still ST underneath, using their Discovery servers. That’s as big an issue as anything.

To your point, the developer of an iOS Syncthing client (Möbius) has financially support ST development for at least 3 years that I know of. I don’t know how much, but they use it for their own clients, so it’s important to them.

My only concern would be the Discovery servers.

I have no intent to upgrade from my current version (1.27.9) as it’s been fine for years now.

It works, does what I need. There was an update a few months ago, but it offers nothing I need, and would only cause me a ton of work and re-testing to ensure it works as it currently does.

Apps don’t need continuous updating if they work.
