Quicksy and Prav apps allow you to easily signup via SMS verification like WhatApp etc. Super easy and the app works like Whatsapp, completely usable for non technical users (much more so than any Matrix client).

And Snikket is an super easy all in one solution for running a XMPP based small group server with invite based onboarding. Also completely non-technical user compatible.

I don’t think you will easily find an option that lets you build free form html pages (even Hubzilla limits that quite a bit), but since everyone seems to just put out random recommendations, have another one: https://elgg.org/

Elgg is an oldy but goody, and they recently added ActivityPub federation via an plugin (which I have not personally tried yet).

Some domain registers offer free webspace with the domain. OVH for example gives 100mb (incl. php) which is more than sufficient for a simple website.

Just use trained hawks, comes with built in plausible deniability 😅

What a lame excuse. You can do better. Since you seem to like to put a lot of effort into getting the last word in, how about posting a nice picture of you and your waifu pillow?

Unaffordability of housing.

I would change your waifu pillow if it is three years old already 🤷

You put surprisingly lot of effort into having the last word in an internet debate… go ahead and make passionate love to your imaginary wife then 🤡

Lets keep to real figures please. Ukrainian sources estimated shortly after that around 25,000 people were killed and a later independent investigation found likely evidence for around 10,000 killed.

Sure, now you are backtracking 🙄 Replying to someone suggesting a dedicated podcast platform with “it doesn’t support video” is in no way implying that in needs to support video, right? You are just gishgallopping BS here now 🤷

Spotify isn’t the only source of podcasts 🙄

And it was you that talked about requiring video.

I am saying bread doesn’t have to be Wonderbread to qualify as bread, nor is it a requirement for bread to be Wonderbread 🙄

nobody is saying it requires video

Please read the thread again. It started with someone claiming that if it doesn’t support video, it can’t be used for podcasts, which is just ridiculous 🙄 And I never claimed that a podcast can’t also have an alternative distribution method via video. You are arguing a complete strawman.

Four years later and with a really crappy small screen that I doubt anyone used for actually watching videos. Apparently battery life was atrocious too when doing so.

That might also be a reaction to the histamines common in wine and well cured cheese. Some people are very sensitive to that and have allergy like symptoms.

Both you and the article claim that Airbus is German, which isn’t the case at all (France owns more than Germany of it and the current CEO is French). With Euronews I suspect malice in claiming so, but the more favorable interpretation is that the Airbus subsidiary called “Airbus Defense and Space” is headquartered in Germany and has a German CEO.

Indeed it is defined by it’s delivery method to an audio player. Even the term derives from the audio only iPod.

A common definition would be:

An audio programme in a compressed digital format, delivered via an RSS feed over the Internet to a subscriber and designed for playback on computers or portable digital audio players, such as the iPod.

Well, even if that was true (which it isn’t, most major podcasts are audio only), it would still not be a podcast if it requires there to be a video with it. Of course if the video is just some person speaking into a microphone with no additional vital information included in the video feed, then it can be considered an alternative form of podcast distribution.

You are arguing like as if TV and radio was the same. But they are not 🤷 I don’t need to back up common definitions of words, you know?

If you need to pay attention to what is on the screen, it is you know, a video and not a podcast. But I feel we are not getting anywhere here and you are just being contrarian for some silly reason 🤷
