Is this basically the same as on macOS and Windows, or do those platforms do something nicer with that window?

Does Firefox behave consistently with other picture-in-picture apps on those platforms? Is the window always-on-top by default? Does it open in a consistent place? Does it snap to the screen edges, or is it free-floating? šŸ‘€

Can anyone using Firefox on macOS or Windows do me a favor? šŸ™

I’d love to see how Firefox’s picture-in-picture for video works on those platforms.

For example, when I’m on YouTube, I get a little pop-out icon at the bottom-right for picture-in-picture. When I hit it on GNOME, Firefox opens a little window of just the video—but it’s just another window by default; no rounded corners, not always-on-top, etc. You can drag it around freely, right-click it for the window menu.

#Firefox

And it is online! Gitte is on Flathub 🄳 https://flathub.org/de/apps/de.wwwtech.gitte Thanks especially to nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqtls3zdnt3cn0ml06atye9hjerd6qc0tm5g...

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... congrats! The app looks great!

Unsolicited feedback: the first screenshot is pretty big and empty; I’d recommend a smaller window size for it—and probably a different, more content-full screenshot to feature as the very first impression.

But very nice work to everyone involved. :) Gonna give this a try!

@nprofile1q... I have a 7-year-old laptop that I love, but it was getting to be useless as a laptop since the battery was shot. I just ordered a replacement battery and replaced it—while I was in there, I realized it only had one stick of RAM, so I found a donor I had sitting around and doubled the memory. Now it’s better than new!

@nprofile1q... that was actually basically the last message I had sent earlier today; it told me nobody has access to the chat logs (lies!) and that it couldn't divulge its tool access. I didn't try anything that sophisticated, but kinda lost interest. šŸ˜… And then I get a real human basically like, "uuuh, you don't have to make breakfast or dress a certain way??"

I told them I'm in online trust & safety and was just having fun with the bot. šŸ™ˆ

To be clear, some amount of automated triage is a great idea! I’m not opposed to that. But the specific assumption here is that community members are only allowed to contribute if a maintainer spec...

Okay, as my dad would say, ā€œSorry I blew up.ā€

I guess the better way is if a human is still empowered to override the automated process, and reviews the PR in a matter of minutes. The bot message still leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but maybe it just needs some copy finessing.

Maybe that’s my next PR. šŸ˜‰

As promised, I filed an issue on the repo that actually maintains the PR triage script. https://github.com/desktop/gh-cli-and-desktop-shared-workflows/issues/16 https://cdn.masto.host/mastodonblaedefamily/media_attachments/files/116/455/175/911/510/008/original/bc69f0589caf3ccf.mp4
