They're using this to gather facial biometric data to deanonymize protestors. Everyone stay safe and cover your face, else they'll use it against you!!

Honestly thank god. That place is getting louder and louder and spilling their obvious double standards and apologetics for Authoritarianism all over my feed. They will not be missed.

Severance. Maybe it's just being a hobby 3d artist that makes every frame of that delicious intro so captivating

on the basis of a letter from Secretary of State Marco Rubio that says he has personally determined Khalil poses “adverse foreign policy consequences” to the US

What!? Thats the only basis? I mean thats a complete joke of a reason.

Yeah we need to upvote this one for more general discussion. From what I'm reading if Trump gets his way on this one then the fediverse will essentially be able to be crippled by frivolous lawsuits from anyone who dislikes the speech on the platform and essentially make running it impossible within the US. And of course there's some tech-illiterate grandpas on the Democrats side who fundamentally misunderstand (or willfully and with a stuffed wallet) this legislation and will work with the GOP to end free speech online.

Are those leopards I hear?

Its not as easy as launching from steam for example, but if you have some basic linux knowledge and the ability to use Google you can get 99% of pirated games running in either bottles or lutris. Search for steam deck specific piracy guides, they largely apply to all linux distros.

At least they added offline. Can't even expect the minimum these days.

Need more courageous people to do what's right

This has not worked for me.

This method lets ads load for half a second but then get skipped instantly. i have not personally found a way to 100% block ads once ive gotten their block page.

I'm going to start a discussion in the comments here about methods to bypass the message. I will add suggestions here, so leave comments if you find a method!

Methods to bypass Youtube Anti-Adblock:

• The easiest method is simply to comply and turn off your adblock extension.

My Method

• My method, and the one that will likely work universally is as follows:

Install Extension Enhancer for YouTube™

• Downloads: Firefox | Chrome

Go to the extensions settings and ensure that under the Ads Management section, "Block Ads" is turned OFF

Now find the Custom Script box at the very bottom and enter the following script. I did not write this code, it comes from egaudette on GitHub

(function() {
    'use strict';
    var clickInterval = setInterval(skipAds, 5);
    var ytpAdModule;
    var miniAdd;
    var skipButton;
    var currentVideo;

    function skipAds() {
        ytpAdModule = document.querySelector('.ytp-ad-module');
        skipButton = document.querySelector('button[class*="ad-skip"]');
        miniAdd = document.querySelector('.ytp-ad-overlay-container');

        if (ytpAdModule !== null && ytpAdModule.innerHTML !== '') {
            ytpAdModule.style.display = 'none';
        }

        if (skipButton !== null) {
            skipButton.click();
            return;
        }

        currentVideo = document.querySelector('video[class*="main-video"]')
        if (currentVideo !== null && currentVideo.duration <= 5) {
            currentVideo.muted = true;
            currentVideo.play();
            currentVideo.currentTime = currentVideo.duration;
        }
    }
})();

Lastly, ensure the "Automatically execute the script when YouTube is loaded in a tab" box is checked, and press Save

I'll add more methods as they are discovered!
