UAD or Canta. Two really good options for phones you can’t run a custom ROM on.

Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Best place for a community alternative to Facebook group?English1·15 days agoBest option I know of is MeWe but it’s not a 1:1. Does have some pretty solid group features though.
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Breaking in the nice weather with some DreamcastEnglish2·29 days agoThe Dreamcast has such a utopian vibe to it that just fits nice weather!
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•There was a special magic to the 3D Renders of the N64English3·29 days agoI think part of what makes it special is how it shows gamers what the potential of 3D offered. With the blocky polygons and blurry textures of the N64, Nintendo gave high-res renders to show gamers the future. Almost like a “See how far we’ve come? This render is where we’re headed so jump on board!”
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Linux reaches new peak of 2.69% in Steam Hardware & Software Survey: May 2025English2·1 month agoWe still have a long way to go but we’ve already come so far!
Not a weird argument, that’s the same logic you used. Just because some kids might not agree with your decisions as a parent, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make that decision. Caring what others think about your parenting style is exactly why we have so many messed up kids in the first place.
Its pretty nice to have a space where we just chat about games, I have to admit that!
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto Privacy@lemmy.ml•I made a chart to help choose a password manager. Please mind the clunkiness, I made it on mobile21·1 month agoI’m just speaking common sense here, dude. It’s common sense, and if you do any ounce of research, you’ll see the exact same thing that I’m saying.
Coming up with a solid and strong master password is one thing. But trying to come up with some variations of a master password that you use across all your different sites is inevitably going to result in predictability and predictability is poor security.
Again, common sense info that you’ll find if you do any ounce of research, but it’s obvious that you have neither done your research nor do you want to do your research. You just want to sound like you’re smarter than everybody.
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Is Spotify desktop unsafe to install on Ubuntu?11·1 month agoGroup playlist? I’ve never used that feature, but I know you can add things to playlists on the web version, and you can make those playlists public as far as I know.
Not new, but they’re great if you enjoy profile customization, more emoticons/stickers, or Steam Deck stuff (keyboard themes and startup movies).
A lot of people are unfamiliar with a LOT of features that Steam offers. It’s a very robust PC gaming social network (complete with a “status” sort of activity feed), player-run groups with Discord-like group chats and themed review curators, full market of trading cards and gems that can be sold for a few cents of credit or traded to make badges, a leveling system that unlocks more features and profiile customization options…
That’s just scratching the surface. I love using those features on a daily basis and encourage my Steam friends to do the same. I’ve managed to build a small circle of friends where we post our activity, share content for games, chat about upcoming titles, etc. I wish more people used those features!
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Holy shit I got Retro Achievements working on my Pi Gameboy! Lmao this is so cool. I get to achievement hunt in my favorite game, earthbound after 30 years. AmazingEnglish3·1 month agoIt’s wild to me how, when I was a kid, I thought the Gameboy line was the utopian future and we’d never advance because there wasn’t anything that could be cooler.
Then, here we are in 2025, able to create and tweak awesome projects like this!
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto Privacy@lemmy.ml•I made a chart to help choose a password manager. Please mind the clunkiness, I made it on mobile21·1 month agoConsidering the fact that virtually every expert in cybersecurity and cryptography agrees that you need a password manager, it definitely is true. Your issue is that you think you know better than everybody else… Let’s just hope your arrogance doesn’t cost you your accounts because then you’ll be getting a whole lot of “I told you so” from most folks.
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto Privacy@lemmy.ml•I made a chart to help choose a password manager. Please mind the clunkiness, I made it on mobile21·1 month agoGood luck making passwords that are both memorable AND resistant to even basic brute force attacks. Only way that happens is through completely random generation via a password manager.
Right? How dare a parent actually care about their child’s upbringing? It’s 2025, we’re supposed to give our kids an iPad at 3 years old and let Cocomelon raise them.
“Ha your parents don’t even let you do underage drinking, drugs and other shady activities?”
Same argument. You don’t relinquish your authority and protection as a parent because a few losers want to make fun of your kid for being raised with a mom and dad who actually give a crap about their upbringing.
I’ve come to find that people with their hearts in the right place (such as yourself) are often attacked or ostracized on the Fediverse, especially Lemmy.
How DARE a person express traditional values??? How DARE a parent not want to be an iPad parent and let their kids do whatever they want???
It’s mind blowing and it drives me further and further away from Lemmy on the regular. Keep up the good parenting and if I could offer my advice? Find a better place to ask for things like this, because all you’ll get are moronic replies like half the replies here.
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Is Spotify desktop unsafe to install on Ubuntu?11·1 month agoThe only limitation I’ve seen is the inability to download for offline listening. Other than that, especially on Brave, I get fully ad-free listening without any issues aside from a couple seconds of pause in between where the ad breaks used to be.
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Is Spotify desktop unsafe to install on Ubuntu?3·1 month agoJust use it as a PWA from a Chromium browser. I run Spotify as a PWA in Brave and get free, ad-free music. It’s the ideal way, IMO. Then again, I only use Spotify for discovery. I buy my CDs and Bandcamp albums, I will always prefer ownership over streaming.
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Found some Firefox forks but can't decide which one to use2·1 month agoDon’t bother using Tor Browser or Librewolf as your main. They’re fine as side browsers for dedicated use cases but as daily drivers, they’re the direct opposite of fine.
Can’t speak on Floorp or Zen but I do enjoy Waterfox for what it is. Not as strong on its privacy protections as LibreWolf is but way more usable.
But PROTON is the honeypot, right???
