This post confirms what I suspected:
Apple never removed support for video podcasts with MP4 enclosures via direct RSS subscription, it is just finally adding HLS support and saying you need to use an approved vendor for that.

Immaculate vibes
Also the version of the Podcasts that supports video podcasts hasn’t been released yet, but Podcasts has ALWAYS supported direct RSS subscriptions.
We don’t know yet if that version won’t support video RSS feeds again. I’d bet it will.
But the decision to restrict to only approved vendors for video is clearly about maintaining standards for quality and security, and history shows that Apple will approve additional vendors who can meet whatever requirements they’re putting out there.
(*This is not entirely correct, at launch Apple Podcasts (in iTunes) supported subscribing to, and downloading from, RSS video feeds. I know because I subscribed to both Rocketboom and Homestar Runner back in like 2005 to load onto my video iPod.)
With respect to OP and Anil, I don’t think this is as bad as folks are saying.
This requirement to use an approved host only applies to video, which is a net-new* feature for Apple Podcasts.
It has no impact on audio podcasts.
Another good example of how surveillance doesn’t make any of us safer.
We have resources you can use to get Flock out of your city on our hub page: www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/floc...
If you are voting by mail, PLEASE drop it directly at an early voting location instead of mailing it to be sure it arrives on time and is counted.
Yeah though he is white/black so he doesn’t fit here. Which is unfortunate because I think many of the best ‘Tempts’ cards are black. So I’m sorta working a little uphill to do it in a Bant deck.

Meant to say low bar to clear. Hadn’t caffeinated yet
This was genuinely surprising to me. Mike is so good on so much. I’d love to hear his perspective on this.
There has been a lot of polling in this race and all of it has shown Daniel with a strong lead. This is his weakest.
It’s also Mike’s best, which is unfortunately a high bar to clear.
Anyway I’m inclined to believe this is pretty close to accurate.
(If Mike had jumped in earlier and was running the campaign he’s running now I think this would be a different race.)

There is a lot more to the district and think his name (along with Hoan’s) do not carry the same weight outside of the city
As usual: @chucktingle.bsky.social is corrrect.
Also this whole thread is worth reading.
My theory of this race is proving to be correct
Thanks! I’m an old school player who probably would fit best with Pre-Modern, but LOTR brought me back after 20+ years.
Leaning into ‘The Ring Tempts You’ as a mechanic is probably not worth it but should be fun.
It’s time to drop the name “Crook County”. As Commissioner I commit to building a more open and ethical government: 🧵

In this report we reference reporting from the Financial Times that highlights corporations that have profited massively from ICE and CBP activity under Trump II.
Rep. Krishnamoorthi took $275K from 7 corporations named here
I talk a lot about my work on here but less so about my job(s). Well...with a week left until the IL primary, I'd like to ask you to read this report about some of where Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi gets his campaign money and why it's so important to this election.
They blocked you. Can you share the original?
Oh
“‘The constituencies that support Modi are basically the constituencies that Krishnamoorthi is trying to sort of cultivate,’ said Rohit Chopra, a communication professor at Santa Clara University whose research focuses on the Hindu nationalist movement and far-right online communities.”
There has been a lot of reporting on facial recognition systems leading to false arrests, almost entirely of Black people.
Now we're seeing reports of automated license plate readers like Flock leading to the same thing.
Surveillance supercharges racism.

Okay but Hank should run for Congress right?
