> A change queued up last week by AMDGPU driver maintainer Alex Deucher will now default to the fullscreen 3D workload profile for discrete GPUs. AMD APUs with integrated graphics will continue to use the default "bootup" power profile but discrete graphics cards will be running in the "fullscreen 3D" power profile by default.

What you're doing is equivalent to
nix-shell -p "grim slurp"
Which won't work because nix-shell expects
nix-shell -p "grim" "slurp"
Which then becomes
{...}@args: with import <nixpkgs> args; (pkgs.runCommandCC or pkgs.runCommand) "shell" { buildInputs = [ (grim) (slurp) ]; } ""
According to the manual
nix-shell --packagesinterprets each command line arguments as attribute names inside the Nix packages collection.
The error message is because you are giving multiple package names as a single argument.
As someone who don't like using a mouse, yes please!!
According to one of the maintainers
YouTube/Google has patched the latest workaround that we had in order to restore the video playback functionality.
Right now we have no other solutions/fixes. You may be able to get Invidious working on residential IP addresses (like at home) but on datacenter IP addresses Invidious won't work anymore.
