Since when was everything no longer "announced" or "released", but "dropped"? Is this an LLMism?

I just started using Obsidian. What is the best way to use Obsidian both on your phone as well as your PC/laptop? I use it within git and google drive. How can I sync it most easily to my phone as well?
