donslaught , 9 months ago to technology in YouTube isn't happy you're using ad blockers — and it's doing something about it

Download the Revanced Manager. Tap on the ‘Patcher’ tab at the bottom. Tap on ‘Select an Application’. Look for YouTube. If it’s not there at the top then search for it. That box that showed YouTube will also show what version of the YouTube app you have installed and what version they recommend you install so you can patch it. This is where it gets complicated.

Go to your web browser and search for ‘YouTube apk’. I usually use apkmirror for my downloads but if anyone has another suggestion that’s better, go for it. Tap on the link to go to the YouTube apk page on apkmirror and scroll down the page until you find the version number that matches the one listed in Revanced Manager. Tap on the downward-facing arrow icon and it will take you to the page for that version of YouTube. Scroll down and it will show you the different variants available for that version. Tap the download icon next to the variant that says ‘no-dpi’ and it will take you to that variant’s download page. Scroll down and tap on the download button; this button will also display the size of the apk which should be around the 120-ish MB range. When the download is finished a little window should popup asking if you would like to open the file. DO NOT open the app yet. At this point you are going to switch back to Revanced Manager.

Hopefully you’re still on the Select an application screen. If not then follow the instructions in the first paragraph until you are. At this point the installed and recommended version of YouTube should match. If it doesn’t, that’s okay. Tap on YouTube and a window might pop up asking to select the apk file. Find the file you downloaded if you need to. Then tap the ‘Patch’ button and let it run. It will take a few minutes and it will look like it’s stalled out at times but it’s not. Just let it go until it’s done. Tap ‘Install’. If it asks if you want to upgrade YouTube then tap ‘Upgrade’.

Once that’s done you’re good to go.

I’ve got my laptop, main 32" inch monitor, and a 27" vertical monitor on the other side. So am I a lawful chaotic neutral? Chaotic lawful neutral? Truly true neutral? Also, one is connected through HDMI and the other is connected through DVI.

They actually just released new magsafe popsockets like a couple weeks ago including new accessories like wireless chargers to work with the new popsocket on your phone.

This is clearly a sandwich. The confusion comes from how absurdly sub-optimal its construction is.

Salad is only nachos if it contains croutons, won ton strips, or some other form of free-floating non-structural starch.

I wonder if it has anything to do with shaving/not shaving legs…?

I think my girlfriend’s put that much on her 4Runner since January.

donslaught , 10 months ago to asklemmy in How the fuck can I kill 20 hours?

Any advice on leveling up quickly? I try to play aggressive and get all the exp I can but just after the first mini boss appears I feel super underpowered and run around for another 5 minutes trying not to die until I do.

It’s really funny to me how people who didn’t like Oppenheimer and people who didn’t like Barbie all said the same thing: it wasn’t what I was expecting. Maybe they would have rather watched a movie about an atomic bomb destroying millions of dolls.

Also, if you’re paying taxes, you are literally helping to fund the program(s).

donslaught , 10 months ago to asklemmy in What are your plans for the weekend?

I hope you guys are starting with the movie. Not that I’m a huge fan but it’s where Ahsoka started and it’s a fun contrast to the where the series ends up.

donslaught , 10 months ago to memes in Ah yes, it's in the 30s. That sounds.... lovely? too warm?

Live in a climate controlled building. Or just die, probably.

donslaught , 10 months ago to technology in Europe is cracking down on Big Tech. This is what will change when you sign on

It probably will and will depend on whether or not it makes financial sense for the company to invest in doing things like making software that they have to write, test, and deploy, possibly in multiple versions for multiple regions. The short answer is probably not and so any changes made too confirm to European law will by default also be the case in the US.
