Obsidian intentionally patched OSS sync despite CEO's HN statement of tolerance

The patch addresses a security vulnerability.<p>Obsidian is not stopping people from creating syncing alternatives (there are many that exist already), or reverse engineering the app. See comments in the issue on the repo:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;acheong08&#x2F;obi-sync&#x2F;issues&#x2F;19#issuecomment-1702926188">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;acheong08&#x2F;obi-sync&#x2F;issues&#x2F;19#issuecomment...</a>

For reference, Obsidian CEO&#x27;s HN comment, seven days ago: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=37253639">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=37253639</a><p>Most notably, quoting his very words: &quot;<i>you should consider renaming the repo otherwise it can be confused for an official tool — that would be my only request</i>&quot;.<p>Looks like the corpo drones are at work again - first Reddit, Terraform, and now this - breaking a publicly-made promise, just a few days in. I gotta say, it truly reflects poorly on a business when leadership has no integrity. Who knows when they&#x27;ll rug pull their community next (who, by the way, contributed 1149 plugins to Obsidian)?
