@Gargron you could create an off screen media element and proxy to another media element or canvas that you then mount and use to proxy events, kind of like how bbc/VideoContext does it

@Gargron for now users can PiP in Chrome

A new way to PIP

Just head over to
chrome://flags/#global-media-controls-picture-in-picture

flip the flag to ‘enabled’, click that blue restart button and the next time you pull up a video that supports PIP (YouTube is the obvious choice, but many services use it), you can now look in your notifications tray for a new PIP button

works with Mastodon embedded vids

@Gargron in HTML you can just reappend same media element where you want and it will preserve it's state. Not sure if this is possible in React. And this does not work with iframes.

I guess for React you can play media in a portal and when status is visible, position: absolute it to status frame, and when status is not visible, change it to fixed element.

Another approach could be to manually restore state when media gets pinned, but again, it's impossible for iframes, and is heavy operation.

@Gargron Who?

@Gargron
please, who are you talking about?!?!?

@Gargron Rain Puts Out The Fires Here in California... Rain Has a Whole New Meaning Now... I Have Been Doing Rain Dances Recently... I Own Bells and Youtube Has the Songs... WHY NOT? Might Work!

@Gargron the secret is lighting a candle and having hot chocolate when it's raining

@Gargron
I live in Galicia (Spain) and (just like someone could say from Ireland) it's kinda a "_land of rain_" and I love it

@Gargron In the modern Internet, if a two year old post can be found at all, it means it's significant enough to deserve a reply. ;)

@Gargron People get so angry at old news that has already been resolved. I don't get it.

@Gargron "Do you want to spell-check before sending?"

This would eliminate at least half of the Qanon qult garbage I see on Twitter.

@Gargron Next week, the plan is to also exercise there? :-0

@Gargron buff eugen

@Gargron
And so, next week, actually looking at the machines and thinking about what it will take to plan to use them?

@Gargron 🧀

@Gargron
Watch the ending of the third LoTR film - no shortage of cheese there...

@Gargron what app do you use for mastodon on your phone?

@Gargron Wowzers...

@Gargron great, great, great artists

@Gargron 😭

@Gargron There's a better, original version of that video idea here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IRB0sxw-YU

@Gargron
hab's mir jetzt schon 3 mal angehört. Schmeckt sehr gut ;-)

@Gargron
We have a nice place at the station, where you can watch trains, buses and taxis..

@Gargron The Andy Kaufmann show or you just staring at cars?

@Gargron Good morning!

@Gargron good morning!

@Gargron Good morning, a little late.

@Gargron

kind of weird seeing Simon Pegg playing Hughie's father, when Hughie was modeled on him in the comic.

@Gargron What's funny is the show is so much tamer than the comics, it's almost a PG sitcom in comparison. I call the comics the cure for superheroes: You'll never be able to read "serious" superhero comics again. Highly recommend those instead of the show.

@Gargron and wait to see the others! I appreciate more the serie over the comics that are too gratuitously graphic IMHO. Anyway great serie, hurry up to get up to date with season two ;-)

They went and made djazz a real thing

@Gargron It’s an easy mistake to make.

@Gargron several Ikea stuffed animals have gone viral and people have a lot of fun posting theirs doing everyday things. I want the dunskog.

@Gargron it's Swedish for "Blue shark".

(I understood where the name came from but still thought it was funny...:-) )
