The Absurd Wall Around Picture‑in‑Picture for Music on YouTube

There is something uniquely frustrating about running headfirst into a limitation that feels completely artificial. Not a technical constraint. Not a hardware shortcoming. Not even a genuine legal impossibility. Just a wall, quietly erected, that exists because someone decided it should.

Basically i right click "always on top" once for an instance of a video player but then when the window is closed and reopened it needs to be redone. So im using dbus to send a signal to the window which is a lot more complicated then it sounds...
With the help of my dad tonight I have round out that Mutter is sorta not installed correctly or something...
And even when I fix everything I'm not sure that its gonna work...
So I think what I need to do that may be more likely to work is to make a javascript web page that keeps the video player open so I just right click it to be always on top once and move it around and resize it as I like...
I think that will work...
Maybe less likely to break my system.
I think I need to open it up and put a second ssd because im running out of space and can't update...

This is one of my favorite abstract photos I have ever taken. It puts together a scene so incredibly far from from what it actually is and where it was taken, for me that kind of mental teleportation is akin to a magical portal.

What do you see in it?

What do you think it REALLY is?
