Since updating, SyncThing thinks ~ is /var/lib/gdm (it used to be /home/username) and I can't sync my home directory folders

I just re-installed Centos 8.3 from the ISO and the repo version of SyncThing has updated to syncthing-1.8.0-2.el8.1.

In the previous version of SyncThing when my main computer sent a request to share a folder I selected the corresponding folder in my home directory and it worked. Now it gives me errors.

I have created a directory in my home folder on my laptop (same as main computer) called .ssh.

• I get maincomputername wants to share folder. Add new folder? (yes)
• I go to folder path and add /home/username/.ssh (it suggests ~ is /var/lib/gdm? Bug?)
• /home/username/.ssh directory exists, I can cd into it, there is not a typo.

A moment later I get errors:

2021-01-02 12:17:14: Loading ignores: open /home/david/.ssh/.stignore: permission denied
2021-01-02 12:17:14: Failed to create folder root directory stat /home/david/.ssh: permission denied
2021-01-02 12:17:14: Error on folder .ssh: stat /home/david/.ssh: permission denied 

Is this a known change in settings since the last EPEL8 release or a bug? It also seems to load on boot now whereas it did not before.

On Centos 8 Firefox 69 worked great, but now when I try to update I get Can't pull from untrusted non-gpg verified remote

I know Centos 8 does not have a new enough version for openh264, but this has not caused any problems on FF69. Platform.openh264/x86_64/19.08 needs a later flatpak version (1.4.2;1.2.5;1.0.9;)

I originally added the repo with flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists fedora oci+https://registry.fedoraproject.org

flatpak update

Thanks for packaging this, but on Centos 8:

After more testing I tried to install extensions from the chrome web store and got:

An error has occurred Could not unzip extension

I can add these using Brave on Centos 8, so I assume this is a problem with the Chromium build.

(on a side note, I only just got a Fedora account and can't seem to edit my previous entry and karma vote, so sorry if I made an error and am making multiple posts for nothing)
