how do you handle images? This is why I use obsidian since it essentially manages images and keeps track of them for you.

> No, seriously. It’s so simple I thought I missed something. But no. After you run that binary, you have a fully operational node of Syncthing. It’s ready to sync with any other Syncthing node, no other setup necessary. There’s no installers, no package management (but there are packages if you want to), no registration, no email, no logins, no password creation, no 2FA, no consents, no user agreements.

The part comparing the installation is a little disingenuous IMHO. You cannot seriously be complaining about Gatekeeper if you’re using a Mac.

It still operated in a fundamentally different manner than Syncthing. All that has really changed about the app is the marketing around it.
Dropbox still has my files on its servers. Not sure what you mean here. If all my devices are off, I can access anything in my Dropbox account from any computer's browser.
