This is how I've observed it: Catfriend1 has long been the owner of syncthing-fork on android, which was fork of the official client syncthing-android. It had extra features around Android that were lacking in the official client (e.g sync windows to reduce battery usage).

When google locked down on file apis a year or so ago, the official syncthing-android pulled out of google play, but syncthing-fork stuck around in fdroid as the fork was for personal purposes, and they were using fdroid for distribution in the first place.

This change in ownership is new to me, but I'm also not surprised it happened as syncthing-fork was always a personal project.

How does the Nobel Peace Prize figure into this? I seem to be on the other side that didn't hear about the award. Which is not surprising as I don't follow it, but also I haven't worked out query terms to connect it with OBR.

Somebody monitored the metadata on files to figure out who the winner of the nobel prize was prior to the official announcements by the candidate that was modified. Which they used to financially profit in betting markets.

It relates to OBR because it's another scenario where people just by polling the site can figure out information that wasn't supposed to be released yet. And then use that information to profit.

Since a recent event of polling was in the news the idea of polling isn't really evidence of an insider trying to leak data versus somebody just cargo-culting a technique. Plus polling of financial data was already common.

Thank you for answering that person’s question so clearly. I was also in the dark and this really helped.

Because it was insider traded on Polymarket many hours before it was publicly announced.

Well, I guess Avalonia can solve 4 at least as you can negate a binding[1]. Good news for me as I recently started an Avalonia project, and thought you did still need an InvertedBoolConverter.

Since it's using Avalonia, I'd say it's just X support at the moment. They've announced that they intend to support Wayland, but that was a couple months ago[1], so I doubt that's ready.

This project shows that git messages aren't just for other people as it's an attempt to make terrible messages usable for the person who wrote the code in the first place.

The Windhawk Start Menu Style[1] uses XAML to modify the Start Menu, and I doubt that they are translating XAML to React

I wouldn’t be so sure…

Oh, interesting.

In my experience the em dash is still correctly used, the modern style has just evolved to put a space around it.

So:

* fragment a—fragment b (em dash, no space) = traditional

* fragment a — fragment B (em dash with spaces) = modern

* fragment a -- fragment b (two hyphens) = acceptable sub when you can’t get a proper em to render

But en-dashes are for numeric ranges…

em dash plus spaces is quite rare in English style guides. It’s usually either an em dash and no spaces or an en dash with them.

Apologies, now that I've been Beider-Meinhoff'd, I've realized you're correct and I've been misreading en dashes and em dashes. Thank you!

It's also a rabbit :)

Cope? Won't they be drinking from leaky pipes regardless of a drought?
