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.
