BBC:
An Android phone that slides open to reveal a physical qwerty keyboard inside has launched at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
The F(x)tec Pro1 phone also has a bespoke shutter button on the side to click when taking photos.
The London start-up behind it said it wanted to "return the keyboard" to consumers.
Other handsets with keyboards built in, from brands such as BlackBerry Mobile and Swiss firm Punkt, were also on show.
"A lot of consumer tech still has buttons even though the tech is there to get rid of them," said Adrian Li Mow Ching, founder of F(x)tec.
"Haptic feedback never gives the same satisfaction as pressing a physical button.”
Hosannah!

You are blocking Javascript, and we totally get that. However this endpoint uses Angular, so the front end is in full JavaScript and won't work without it.
There will be other non JS-based clients to access PeerTube, but for now none is available. Be sure we will update this page with a list once alternative clients are developed. You can certainly develop you own in the meantime as our code is open source and libre software under GNU AGPLv3.0.
There might be numerous reasons you refuse to use JavaScript. If it has just to do with security (or lack thereof) of JavaScript-based webapps, then depending on your threat menace you might want to go through the code running on the node you are trying to access, and look for security audits.

If they had any interest in shipping a file to someone who wanted to play that file in a media player, they are failing completely. It does not require "angular", whatever that is, to ship a file across an HTTP connection, it simply requires shipping the fucking file, nothing more.

A non javascript person like you should have tried with youtube-dl and mpv before complaining.
