Ricardo was testing in production

The main difference that has me using LibreTube rather than NewPipe is because my subscriptions are on my piped account so they are synced between phone and desktop (browser). Piped is built on top of NewPipe’s extractor library anyway.

As others said, you’re talking about CGI

Does your lemmy instance have a character limit?

I think a lot of the issue is the widespread use of the term Intellectual Property which, arguably deliberately, conflates a few completely distinct legal concepts under one umbrella.

If you don’t like the gestures (like me) the most recent version has options to turn them off and give you buttons instead. For me thunder is nearly there in terms of being the experience I want. I wish it handled that back button better, but all the other apps like Jerboa also suffer poor back button behaviour too.

IIRC it doesn’t need a display, it’s a Web-based UI that you can use from another computer on the network if it doesn’t have a display, VNC would be overkill. Maybe they changed that.

There is a more performant C++ implementation but it’s been a long while since I’ve used either it or the java implementation. Worth checking out.

I think this is related to the recent security vulnerability that affected, notably, lemmy.world. Even unaffected instances mostly decided to invalidate existing user sessions just to be sure and this required resetting Jerboa and some other apps that presumably hold onto a cached version of your auth token even if you remove the account and re-add it or something. So it was necessary to clear the app cache and storage to reset it and add accounts again.

Thunder has the gestures. Personally I’ve not really got on with them so I’m using Jerboa even though I prefer many other aspects of Thunder. Maybe give it a shot yourself.

I recently bought RIF golden platinum just to give back to the dev, knowing that very soon the app will stop working. I’m hoping the dev could reuse his code and swap out the backend to make a lemmy client of the same caliber. It really is a good app.
