But like, why does it have to be Google? (Or this extension specifically?)

If you’re super attached to the google search results then try startpage. If you’re willing to branch out a bit try Duckduckgo, it’s based on Bing instead and lately seems like more folks prefer Bing’s engine to Google’s.

And as others have mentioned you could use any old useragent switcher to pretend to be Chrome

Yeah I’ve been trying to figure what’s up with that. There used to be really nice guides written on the github but it looks like they’re gone now for some reason.

IIRC Isn’t the Armv7 support limitation just for Revanced Manager? Just build the version you need on your computer using revanced-cli.

It is in fact, a US vs Europe thing. Stateside “SMS” is ubiquitous. I put quotes because it’s not really SMS anymore. It’s either RCS between Android users or iMessage between iPhone users. The only time SMS actually gets used is between Androids and iPhones, because as other commenters in this thread mention. Apple refuses to implement RCS on their devices in a way that is compatible with non-Apple devices.

How much you wanna bet that running the file through ffmpeg in a Linux subsystem scrambles whatever signature it’s checking

Not something I should have known, but if you want to continue using phone features on Windows Windows+H opens up the speech2text feature.

The Android version of Firefox supports add-ons. Check if any of the monkey script plugins are compatible (greasemonkey, tampermonkey, violentmonkey)

Is there one currently usable that actually works for kbin?

I think part of the issue is probably that when making a platform jump, keeping the same name and branding is important to make sure members can find their way back. I don’t know how federation handles the closing / renaming of magazines, but once everyone’s established it could certainly be something to vote on.

It’s a part of the history. The original PCMR started back when the mods of the original /r/gaming banned posts about PCs, saying “There’s nothing inherently gaming about PC. You could just be using it as a tax machine for all we know”. This understandably created friction between the 2 cliques of gaming, with the console clique calling the PC clique a “master race” as a form of insult. At some point, everyone got fed up with arguing about it. /r/pcmasterrace was made, and leaned fully into the “master race” out of spite, and was spurred on by PC hardware at the time being way more cost effective than consoles. Over the years things mellowed out and it became less and less about console peasants “individuals who at the time insisted that console was superior, not individuals who later could only afford console after PC hardware went up in price. Important difference” and more about becoming one of the master race “owning your first gaming centric rig”.

If you wanted the tried and true down to earth gaming forum equivalent for PC, you’re looking for the PCGaming magazine. PCMR will always be an enthusiast forum, that was based separating themselves from the console ecosystem.

Still darn useful IMO. Purchasing a version upgrade from the MS store is typically cheaper than buying a retail key bundle. Plus the people who would just as readily use this as an in to verify their windows edition in unofficial ways.
