[fluffy] also most browsers support HLS natively now
#
[fluffy] so if you encode your stuff as HLS then <video> is adequate for them too
#
[fluffy] wait no looks like I”m mistaken on that
#
aaronpk if I weren't actually trying to play the youtube game I would 100% be self-hosting all my videos
#
[fluffy] caniuse says only safari and the Android browsers support it
#
[fluffy] weird, I coulda sworn firefox and chrome did too
#
[fluffy] quick spot-check finds that nope, just safari. oh well.

[chrisaldrich] Apparently an interesting new UI for some online conference calls is floating around out there: https://twitter.com/hopkinsdavid/status/1281497314817904640
#
@hopkinsdavid I've finally realised what the new Teams 'together' mode reminds me of! https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EcjK1_OWsAA46P9.png (twitter.com/_/status/1281497314817904640)

petermolnar how would one retrofill scrobbling tools with music they listened to before scrobbling existed? (theoretical question, given it'd all be an estimate)
#
petermolnar it all came with finding this tool: https://nroutasuo.github.io/lastfm-vis/#artisttimeline
#
[chrisaldrich] petermolnar, music can be very memorable, so one might be able to recall rough dates/times/locations. For accounting and other purposes, radio stations (at least in the US) are supposed to maintain playlists so you might be able to track those down and match them up?

[KevinMarks] I used to listen to the BBC chart show every Sunday evening, so could backfill a lot from the charts

[Murray] I still have an old laptop lying around that has iTunes installed. Probably used it for about 70% of my teens and have often wondered if there might be a way to pull the listening history off that and import into LastFM
