  • I see a lot of this, but to youtube, the value is with users that don’t use ad blockers. If the share that use ad blockers leave, youtube will just lose less money. Sure Google wont be able to mine as much data on you, but I would go on and say the money this brings is insignificant if they can never show you ads.

    YouTube does not care about the lurkers that use ad blockers, they don’t contribute to the platform and they don’t generate money as well. They would be way better off with us off the platform. I don’t want this to happen but I can clearly see this coming since video streaming is expensive even for a giant like Youtube






  • Hi, I wanted to tell you thanks for your help, I decided it would have been too much trouble and just decided to nuke my arch install, I had a separate /home partition so I just installed PopOS as a maybe not so temporary replacement until I do a clean install. I felt my system was a bit too far gone and I didn’t really want to spend the rest of the day troubleshooting it. Anyways, thanks a lot for the help !!




  • Hi, thanks for your answer, I was able to get a semi working system (as in no home partition can be mounted lol, I’ll figure this one later)

    I tried pinging my router 192.168.0.1 but no response, 127.0.0.1 works that’s whatever. So no connectivity at all even though all the interfaces are detected and fully working (they work in arch-chroot and they connected when I still had my desktop env, just no communication)… When i check the NetworkManager status it is kind of empty and hints that it’s disabled, so when I systemctl start it, it simply kicks me out of my session to my login screen (ie emergency login screen 😂)







  • Thanks. I tried that before I saw your comment and I downgraded 2 network related packages (networkmanagwr applet and networkmanager openvpn), but that did not work. I saw the kernel got updated so I downgraded that but now my system doesn’t get past the boot screen. I’ll try again tomorrow and I’ll probably just install vanillaos to still have access to the AUR but on a very stable base and with good defaults. I had tried doing a ping but it just immediately said no host found or something like that. Sorry if I am vague, I don’t remember exactly and my computer doesn’t start anymore loll








  • Ah, well then if you are after this kind of device, I would suggest you the Asus Zenfone series if they are sold in your area, they feature the 3.5mm, they have ROMs and the bloatware is pretty minimal. I had a zenfone 8 that I do not use anymore becauses the battery life is bad, but that is because of the snapdragon 888. Other than the battery I really liked the device especially for its size, they should announce the zenfone 10 in a few weeks or months if youre interested
