@mckinley@twtxt.net And of course this doesn’t play in iOS on an iPhone 😂
@prologic@twtxt.net Does the H.264 version work at least?
@mckinley@twtxt.net I think I lost the link to thay cwrsion? Can you repost?
@prologic@twtxt.net Original H.264 version here.
For the sake of experimentation, I made another one using vp9 for video and Opus for audio. It’s at 480p instead of 720p like the others. It works fine on Firefox and Chromium based browsers on my Linux machine. Does it work on your phone? 480p vp9/Opus version [36.4 MiB]
@mckinley@twtxt.net No VP9+Opus doesn’t work on Mobile Safari either. Tried that before. The only reliable thing that works is MPEG-4/MP4 and H.264
I have to say after watching that video and the level of “force” Microsoft™ place on their users to use Microsoft Edge is just mind blowing! 🤦♂️ I will say this at least… At least Apple™ don’t do this kind of sutpid ass shit and force their users to use Safari or iTunes or whatever other default apps come pre-installed. In fact to date, the only built-in Apple app I use is iMessages – only because that’s what is also used on iPhones for SMS basically.
@prologic@twtxt.net Well, they do force you to use Safari on iOS. WebKit, at least. They just let people create their own UIs on top of it. They only have the ability to enforce something like that because you’re only allowed to use software that Apple says you can use. Microsoft has the same level of control with S Mode on Windows, and it is disgusting and anti-user across the board.
With S Mode, at least you can get out of it (or at least you could on 10) by signing into a Microsoft account and clicking “yes” on some very scary looking dialog boxes. They hold your freedom hostage, and your personal information is the ransom. Of course, you can always re-install your OS. As far as I know, the embedded license key on S Mode machines activate regular Home editions of Windows. They did on 10. I’m sure they’ll put a stop to that soon enough. They’re already trying to stop people setting up their computers without a Microsoft account in the first place.
@mckinley@twtxt.net I can understand on iOS / iPhone at least. Pretty sure Android does the same no?
@prologic@twtxt.net No, Web browsers in the Play Store can use any browser engine. Firefox for Android even supports extensions. It’s not as big of a deal, anyway, because Android lets you run software from sources other than the Play Store.
@mckinley@twtxt.net Ahh I see 👌
