Use a user agent spoof extension on Firefox, should trick the website into thinking it’s running chrome.

Advertisers, please do this to YouTube too. I need the dislike count back.

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.

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…

Not a game pass title, it exists outside of Xbox, I have it on Steam.

They’re begging for a direct competitor.

A paid adblocker/ video downloader is worth 20$ a month for 5 people? Every feature in premium has a third party tool alternative you could easily use anyway.

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.

Upgraded my PC recently. I can now run Half-Life: Alyx, so I’m playing it. Best virtual reality game ever in my opinion.

Dusk, not sure if anyone here knows about it though. Pretty good game.

Just upgrade back to Windows 10.

Some games have a complicated enough Anti-Cheat that it’d be an absolute pain to get it working with Linux. Honestly, it’s not worth it to gain 3% more players. I’d recommend just running a Windows VM in Linux.

Microsoft stinks, I use Windows because I’m lazy. MAC is so much worse though, why have I never heard a Linux user criticize MAC?

Fact is, they have good reasons to. Lemmy likely was threatened by a larger industry that could’ve thrown millions of dollars around in a court to get Lemmy taken down. The guys running Lemmy wouldn’t have enough money to win a lawsuit, the website could easily be taken down by a larger entity. When it comes to losing the community or blocking a couple communities, it’s an easy choice. In summary, they’re just trying to save the website by avoiding future lawsuits, and these communities still exist but can’t be accessed on Lemmy itself.

People would stop putting micro transactions in games if users stopped paying for them.
