Youtube made the deliberate choice to be a "black hole" by sucking in content created elsewhere and letting nothing come out.
Youtube created a closed silo that literally vampirizes the Podcasting ecosystem which is fighting to remain open and interoperable.
YOUTUBE DOES NOT MAKE PODCASTS.
Youtube locks up. Youtube decides who is seen and heard. Youtube does not create ANY content but decides for us what can be said.

Youtube decides who can be monetized and who should be banned. Youtube even believes it can decide which words can be tolerated. Quite the opposite of podcasts where everyone is free, free to choose their host and listening platform.
Podcasting, with a capital P, is the exact opposite of what Youtube offers.
Let's not be fooled.
Let's not let Youtube standardize Podcasting like it standardized video.

Just saw the podcast index transcript namespace officially recognized by Apple in the latest docs. Not that you need apple’s approval but congrats anyway! 🎉

@hypercatcher No need for Apple's approval but Apple's blessing is nice!

Quick comparison between AWS and Google's speech recognition.

Google has a superior UI. Click to upload a file and then a bunch of options.
AWS makes you go to a different site to upload the file to S3, and offers very few options.

But AWS is amazingly accurate, whereas Google is quite dumb.

Take the phrase "Fourteen pounds".
AWS: "£14"
Google: "14 LB"

WTAF?

Both were told to process as en-GB, and there are a few quirks in both. But AWS is excellent.

Hello, audiobook and Internet world. I'm just weirded out. I've been sent as payment for a small project. I did luncheon vouchers. No I. I know it's churlish to complain when when people pay you, but I've literally in in my life. In 31 years of living on planet Earth, I have never even seen a luncheon voucher. I thought they died out in the eighties, but I'm I'm here with with £14 worth of 50 P luncheon vouchers. I don't know if I have to use them individually or all at once, but it's just weird. I Why? If you were going to pay someone and offer them a voucher, wouldn't you say have an Amazon voucher? You know that they don't cost any extra to send out, and they can be emailed used everywhere, or at least offer a choice. You know, Would you like PayPal or a high street voucher play dot com, But just to send out lunch vouchers? It's a bit weird, isn't it?

@Edent @james It'll work without GPU, it's just slower.

Oh, a little heads up @Castopod - you might want to update your Mastodon instance, as it is still on v3.2.0 although this version does not get any security updates anymore and is missing out on all the new features of v4.x.x....

benjaminbellamy,
@benjaminbellamy@podcastindex.social avatar

@MagicLike Yes I should take care of that… So many things on my plate now. And I'm afraid to brake everything… 😨

The PDF viewer natively embedded in @mozilla Firefox is just the best PDF viewer. Ever. (And I've used many of them.)
Is there a way to use it outside of Firefox as my OS default PDF viewer?

benjaminbellamy,
@benjaminbellamy@podcastindex.social avatar

@skro @mozilla yes that'll work.
But I wonder if I can do that without even launching Firefox...

@benjaminbellamy@podcastindex.social avatar

@skro @mozilla that's exactly what I want!
It is the best reader available.

“The new standalone app will be based on Instagram and integrate with ActivityPub, the decentralized social media protocol. That will theoretically allow users of the new app to take their accounts and followers with them to other apps that support ActivityPub, including Mastodon.”

Chatting with @samsethi about YouTube at The Podcast Show London:

  • Have you seen that YouTube is now ingesting RSS feeds?
  • I'd rather say that they are digesting RSS feeds...
    Let's place the bets: How long before they start throwing them up in the toilet bowl?

Thank you @Todd_Blubrry for sharing that.
I was having the exact same thoughts.

We just released a new website: https://podcastdata.org/

This will allow users to query the Podcast Index in a user friendly way, with extra data that we computed.

For this beta version we just published analytics for French speaking podcasts, the rest will follow.
