If you've been annoyed at loops in this community not getting embedded, try out Tesseract (https://tesseract.dubvee.org/). It's an awesome Lemmy UI made by @ptz@dubvee.org that supports embedding loops (along with many other neat features), and embeds them as regular video files, give you browser-native controls like seeking and volume control.

More information can be found in the release announcement:

Note that it's still considered beta, so is only available yet at the hosted instance https://tesseract.dubvee.org/. Testing and bug-hunting is appreciated:

Again, testing and submitting buts is extremely helpful as I cannot test every possible scenario.

This is probably the biggest feature-creep release to date (especially for a point release) lol. Most of the changes are architectural or subtle UI tweaks, so I wanted to include a few new things that would actually be noticeable.

Tesseract now supports Loops video embeds. 🎉

This has been an "ask" for a month or longer (or since Loops went live), and I'm happy to say I finally came up with a way to make this happen (Loops doesn't provide any video embed metadata so I had to get creative 😔)

As for a release date, I'm still running through tests since there were so many architectural changes this time around. If you want to help with this, please consider testing for me via the hosted instance (https://tesseract.dubvee.org/) and submitting bugs via Github or posting in this community with the bug details.

There are a few areas I wanted to touch up this release (search and modlog), but those are just going to have to wait.

Best estimate is next week assuming I don't hit any snags with the Loops integration. Again, testing and submitting buts is extremely helpful as I cannot test every possible scenario.

Finnish independence day ritual - the shaking of hands.

Picture of a widely shared ritual in modern Finland: people gathering to family homes on Finlands independence day December 6, to watch in TV how our president and his/her's spouse shake hands with all the people invited to their official independence day party.

It takes about 2-4 hours, people drink and eat while discussing the outfits and persons shaking hands.
