it’s so weird to imagine that the way of the future is to have less control over pausing or rewinding videos.
You should take a look at the Tesseract UI at https://tesseract.dubvee.org/c/loops@midwest.social. It supports embedding loops as a regular video file so that you get browser-native controls, fullscreen, and all that good stuff.
I suspect Loops will get better about that itself too. It’s still under heavy development, and there’s a lot of UX that needs improving, but the dev is fixing issues like that at a rapid clip. It will be open sourced and federated, so if the official client sucks, there will be better ones.
I was hoping that we could hold media to a higher standard in a federated video service by demanding better crediting of sources. Yes, this is an interesting video, but it’s also straight up ganking other people’s work and scrubbing the source. I think we’d be better served to try to discourage this kind of stuff.
Loops is still under heavy development so there’s a lot of missing UX, so I’d give it a pass for now. I would also like to see a system for marking whether something is original content and if not, where it came from. Hopefully that will happen quickly once it’s open sourced.
If you know the source for any video, posting it is always appreciated!
reminded me, i have vapes
Ahhhhhhhh😮💨
