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?

How to patch YouTube on Android with ReVanced

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](https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapp/comments/159zbb6/guide_youtube_revanced/) 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: [Vanced microg](https://github.com/TeamVanced/VancedMicroG/releases/tag/v0.2.24.220220-220220001) [ReVanced manager](https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-manager/releases) 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!!

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.

In 2016 the EU Commission confirmed in writing that adblock detection requires consent.

They had a system in place that put more ads on users depending on how many used an ad blocker. When the users got used to it, YouTube realized they could push it on everyone and make more money. They'd survive as a business even if that wasn't the case anyway, Google owns them.

If you're concerned about DRM, just use GOG or Itch. If you're concerned about shitty games, do research before you buy something and just avoid studios like EA.

Why shouldn't Microsoft be held accountable for everything illegal people do on Windows? Why shouldn't pharmacists be held responsible for prescription drug abuse? Why shouldn't a social media website be held accountable for users infringing copyright? If something is used illegally and the person who made it is held accountable, that doesn't really make sense even if you dislike the thing. For example, I hate YouTube, but it doesn't make sense for them to be held accountable for users posting copyright infringing content.

That depends on:
- If the game is in Early access, the price is justified to change as it becomes more fleshed out.
- If the game gets a massive update (Such as Quake II recently) a price raise feels justified.
- Also, none of this applies if the game goes over 60$, you should never pay more than 60$ because of a price raise. But, these are all just my opinions.
