I’ve been trying to capitalize on the commotion about all this in /r/privacy to bring more people to Lemmy. I’ve converted at least one redditor already!

What do you mean, “next time?” Submitters can edit their Lemmy posts’ titles at any time. They can even do it now… (One of the many great things about Lemmy over Reddit!)

Yeah, this is why I doubled this post on Reddit as well… though I keep encouraging people to check out Lemmy!

Good analysis… I hadn’t considered that…

Is that pron. “gih-tee” or “gih-tee-uh?”

I didn’t know GH did that… Cool!

Okay, well you’re smarter than the general populace because I’ve read multiple comments online about how difficult this program is to use, so I know I’m not alone. Any competition is better than none.

It’s painful to use and understand? There is no step-by-step process…

Really? Kleopatra was such a pain for me to figure out. We want normies using this stuff, not just computer programmers.

Look at this fat cat who can afford ink these days! (That’s a /r/Frugal_Jerk reference)

I’m just sticking to BasicSync because of file size; no other reason, really.

I have noticed no difference but I’m also one of those users who only sync while their phone is charging (especially because I have a synced computer on less than half the time, so it’s a waste of energy to have my phone constantly seek for my other devices online), so I don’t know if my experience is relevant if your syncing is constant.

I like to fine-tune my control based on charging in case I experience data loss once in a blue moon, to eliminate panic about the loss immediately daisy-chaining to other devices. I guess I don’t understand/trust how file retrieval through the trash system works…

Syncthing-Fork is apparently fine.

I had freaked out over it briefly but someone had linked to proof that the handover was legit: https://old.reddit.com/comments/1tfldu7 (Yes, I know linking here is that-which-shall-not-be-done-on-Lemmy but the discussions were interesting and are worth reading.)

With that said, I actually like BasicSync’s design more than -Fork anyway so I’m sticking to BasicSync for now. I think either is fine.
