Rather bold of you to assume I'll be watching the Super Bowl.
Use a user agent spoof extension on Firefox, should trick the website into thinking it's running chrome.
People doing this sort of stuff is why Linux has such a small user base.
I switched 2 weeks ago, 12% of my years playtime is on Linux now. Should I be concerned about how active I am?
Advertisers, please do this to YouTube too. I need the dislike count back.
I have 3 layers of defense: -1: Firefox and uBlock Origin- -2: A tampermonkey script that blocks the popup and notice- -3: A user agent spoofer that makes YouTube think I'm running Chrome- I think I'll be good for a few months.
I want to mod it so I can rip the games from it and use them on an emulator.
"Just make sure to make emunand as a designated sandbox for homebrew and hacking stuff."
I'll make sure to, but how do I do that? Sorry, I'm new to this.
Just found out the Switch I got a while back is a V1 model, meaning that it's one of the Switches that's able to be modified. I'm thinking of modifying it, but I'd like to know the upsides and issues first.
If you want people to disable content blockers on your website, it's best not to treat the people who don't have one on like shit YouTube.

Good to know it works well with Arch, since I'm going to be using Manjaro, which is Arch-based.
I was offered an Intel Arc graphics card, but I couldn't find any information about how they work with Linux that was less than 7 months old. Any of you know how well Arc GPUs are currently working on Linux?
You don't, I don't know why it's in the directions.
When I wanted to set this up, the process was confusing I found a post on Reddit that provided more clear instructions for me to use. I've copied it here (and fixed some of the spelling mistakes) so that it's on Lemmy too. _____________________________________________________________________________
Hi!! Since i used to struggle a lot with the guides available (partially bc of attention span issues) and i had to figure out lots of things myself when i first got into ReVanced, here's a step by step guide for downloading it on non-root devices! :>
Be nice please and excuse any grammar errors since English isn't my first language, if there's anything i missed, let me know!
DISCLAIMER: Never download from (or use) sites that arent apkmirror and/or GitHub. These are the only ones necessary anyway and the other ones are not trustworthy. Also, ReVanced doesn't work for iPhone devices as far as I'm aware (sorry lol). THE STEPS IN THIS GUIDE MIGHT NOT BE NECESSARY FOR EVERYONE BUT THEY WERE FOR ME its okay if you find it a little overboard but i struggle with following tutorials and i struggled with errors that most ppl didn't mention anywhere so i included the fixes that helped me!
Links for the necessary downloads are at the end
Preparations:
Turn off Google Play Protect
Allow unknown downloads for your browser in settings
Disable/uninstall YouTube app
Steps:
Download Vanced microg
Download Revanced Manager
Open your files app and install both
Open ReVanced Manager. Check for the suggested version of YouTube (patcher -> select application, then find YouTube and check for the currently suggested version)
Look up "YouTube apk [suggested version]", find & open apkmirror.com, download the correct one that is NOT a bundle (and pick nodpi) and install it as well
Go back to ReVanced Manager. patcher>select application>YouTube.
Click on selected patches. either use the default ones or you can do some cherry picking on your own. (some patches that i find worth including are at the very end, dont entirely depend on them alone tho)
Once done with patches, ensure that you included "vanced microg support". That one is necessary.
Press done and patch. Once its finished, just install it.
there you go :> ReVanced is ready to be used and you can sign in to your account
Shorter Version:
Download and install Vanced microg, ReVanced Manager and the currently suggested YouTube APK
Open Revanced Manager, select YouTube to patch it
Select the patches you want (must include Vanced microg support)
Let it apply the patches and install once its ready
Repatching ReVanced after an Update
Open and update ReVanced Manager if needed
Check the currently suggested Youtube version and download it, if necessary, from apkmirror.
Delete the old Youtube APK since you wont be using it anymore
Repatch and install
NOTES:
-I don't recommend just applying all patches, especially since you may not want everything they have to offer or they sometimes cause problems for some people. its best to go with default and then check if there's anything you want to change (including or excluding some patches)
-if, for whatever reason, you still encounter errors such as the patching process aborting, the app not opening or something else going wrong,, please make sure you have followed every step correctly and if necessary, go over your patches again. Try starting from the beginning if you cant find other solutions.
-after you have successfully finished everything, feel free to turn Google Play Protect back on or disable downloading from unknown sources for your browser, if you'd like.
the most important patches (imo) to be included:
-vanced microg support (obviously)
-client spoof
-hide ads
-hide watermark
-sponsorblock
-video ads
plus: exclude enable debugging to make ReVanced work more smoothly!
And like i said, don't just rely on them entirely otherwise your YouTube app will probably suck really bad ngl but these are the ones i feel like should be included for sure.
Links:
As for the YouTube APK, you can look up the suggested version and find it on apkmirror (Note:I didn't put the link here because I think it may count as a link to a pirated title, not sure though)
Good Luck!!
Thanks for letting me know this existed, I will be downloading it immediately. Edit: ReVanced isn't available on IOS, I use Android but the guy who posted this is clearly using IOS.
Not sure why the Linux community is convinced macOS is better than Windows. macOS has the same big issues Windows has (Spyware, ads, and the inability to delete the built in browser) while having worse issues like not supporting openGL/Vulkan, not allowing the user to install old apps, the inability to install hardware, and the small issue of only a select few Linux distros that work with it. Windows isn't good, but it's still better than macOS in most regards.
Still a lot more challenging than every new 2D Mario game since the 21st century started.
Under Article 5(3) of 2002/58/EC YouTube are legally obligated to obtain consent before storing or accessing information already stored on an end user's terminal equipment unless it is strictly necessary for the provisions of the requested service.
In 2016 the EU Commission confirmed in writing that adblock detection requires consent.
The EU stepped in, they have to remove it in Europe. Not sure about America though...
A very YouTube thing to do honestly

I'm trying to stop using Reddit, but it having an app I know about makes it have quite an advantage.
I know there's a few apps out there I can use to browse Lemmy, but I'm not sure about their names and the different features they offer.
