Re: "Lagrange v1.20: SOCKS5, Handheld Port, Gamepads, UI/Audio…"
Interesting you say that... I see no problem with images or audio - Gemini is not text-only.
But I've mentioned before and gotten shouted at, for having reservations about streaming audio.
Downloading an audio file to play back is just like everything else.
Streaming drastically changes the nature of interaction, tying up the server and placing bandwidth requirement, and just does not feel like a small (smol?)-net transaction.
I am certainly not against that, just that streaming smells different.

@stack it's just like smelling a turd when you talk a walk in the park and a spring turd in your living room
Maybe less than a spring turd in my living room. More like a distant autmn fece.
Apologies for going off topic

@Atomic-Germ Lagrange has supported inline audio with streaming since 0.4 (released in October 2020) and inline images since 0.1. This is not exactly a recent development. 🙂
The news here is more about bringing the Android port to where the desktop client has been since the beginning.
SOCKS support helps a lot, much thanks!
But it would be nice if there was an option to bypass the proxy for local IPs, or at the very least, for the localhost, otherwise previewing a capsule locally or messing with CGI becomes quite painful.

I'll see about a bypass for localhost. That was a bit of an oversight.
An on/off toggle that preserves the SOCKS config would also be nice.

I'm extremely against the idea of multimedia. It's antithetical to the spirit of the project and there's just so many other ways of doing that already
Amen, brother.
