It’s probably not super difficult. It’s mainly that cutting new releases for too many platforms might be tedious. But as I settle on a stable release that meets most people’s needs, I’ll be more interested in pushing to more platforms.

That being said, I’m mainly looking for high quality beta testers atm. If you were really enthusiastic about this over other Lemmy apps, that would make me more likely to look into Flatpak soon.

But if it’s more like “its interesting but not for me,” then I’ll likely wait

My eyes enjoyed your comment.

Coming in the next update!

Appriciate the kind words! This is mostly a project to make myself migrate from Reddit. I’ve sunk a lot of hours into this app, but I really wanted to wait until it was pretty usable to share it. Still a ton of work to do, but I really hope a few people enjoy using it and can help me itterate on the current design through feedback.

Is that a positive or negative reaction? lol

I’ve spend a lot of hours on this. I’m at the point where I mainly need to know at least a few people will use this. Then some feedback from those people. But if I get those, I’m happy to keep working on the project!

LOL. Reminds me of this

Appriciate you taking the time to try it! If you have time time, could you right click and "inspect element”? Then go to “console”. If possible could you paste everything in console in a DM to me? If you dont see “inspect element” as an option, then there is probably something else going on.

This sounds like it might be an issue with the app itself, not BigSur. Might be able to get it fixed easily.

It might actually just work. The build I’m distributing is a universal build that should work on Intel and Apple Silicon-based Macs. I’m not 100% sure what the minimum macOS version supported currently is.

I would say just try it, but I’m curious what macOS version you are on and if it works. I’ll see what I can do to expand support to older versions if people want that.

I will need to have better handling of both error and loading states. Thanks for letting me know about this issue!

Try upvoting or clicking login, and it will prompt you to change your instance. Unless the 503 errors are crashing the page

That’s what I was going for! Not looking to replace the other Lemmy apps, but I’m happy I can provide an option for people that like this still of client.

Tbh, I have no idea how Linux works. But I’m looking at some documention and I don’t see why Flatpak wouldn’t be possible.

That’s not what I was talking about. The Tor network (onion routing) is a totally separate thing. Tor as an application has very good anti fingerprint protections. I was referring to that feature specifically not the rest of Tor.

Sure if you really wanna benefit, use Tor’s routing. But I am just admiring that the people that built Tor really knew what they were doing in all aspects of the application including the anti fingerprint protections.

Also get ready to throw your credit cards in the trash. They are tracking you. And while you’re at it, might as well throw away your computer.

I wonder if you don’t actually use tor but use their version of Firefox if you still get their anti fingerprint benefits, or if being one of the few tor users not using tor makes you too unique.

I found tor did a very good job of blending you into other tor traffic. But you are only as unique as 1 out of the total number of tor users.

I don’t really know what I’m talking about tbh, but my understanding is the more unique you make yourself, the easier you are to identify. For example, as soon as you use an ad blocker, your browser fingerprint becomes less unique because your average person doesn’t use an ad blocker. Even fewer people use Tor. So if someone knows you are using Tor, then they know you are 1 of maybe 100,000 people instead of millions (idk if those numbers are accurate, but you get the point).

That being said, Tor does do a pretty good job of making you blend into all the other Tor users.

But what I was talking about initially was mostly your ISP identifying your Tor traffic. So you use a VPN, but again you are now more unique than someone not using a VPN, even if your traffic is more encrypted.

Yo chat, we’re cooked

I disagree. Fucking skibidi toilet living rent free in my head.
