How is that even legal?

I have noticed Firefox Beta being slower than Chrome/Cromite in my SD 865 with 6 GBS of RAM device, either opening the app or websites, also it tends to stay alive in the background way less time than Chromium based browsers, but I still chose to use Firefox because of the extension support, and because Chromium has been in the enshitification path for so long.

kratoz29 ,

I am a simple man, just give me an adblocker and Dark Reader, everything else for mobile is a plus.

kratoz29 ,

For the short time of period that I use Cromite I’d say it’s adblocker is goodish, also you could pair it with a Pihole or a DNS adblocker if something leaks I guess…but sadly it has not any browser sync integration, and Firefox does this pretty well.

I like that idea.

Swapping custom ROMs are the distro hopping of Android.

What I do to make the process faster is:

  • Backup all my shit, with Google backup (which if it works, it is way crippled) and Swift backup root.
  • Download newer ROM and desired root method (KSU as of lately).
  • Flash said ROM and root it.
  • Grab data from Google, give root permissions to Swift Backup and complete the data retrieval sane edition.
  • Rinse and repeat.

My device is EOL and most custom ROMs come decrypted by default, so I am in no need to format data, which just makes this process faster as my data remains in the same folder, but if you have a good cloud solution and nice internet speed Swift Backup can take advantage of that.

I know this is an old feature, but do we have the NFC money transfer thingy?

I mean the one where you touch other phone with your phone and transfer money.

If we do I am unaware of it, I use AOSP.

kratoz29 ,

… And that is why competition and “stealing features” is always good, being Apple’s or Google’s competition.

kratoz29 ,

Samsung does more for android than Google does for goodness sake.

I agree with you, even when I dislike One UI… I think Google although simpler is more of my liking… But oh boy stock AOSP is so limited that for some users it is even too similar to iOS, with the distinction that you can sideload easier (for now).

Lots of features that Google releases each Android iteration literally have been here in One UI, MIUI, Color OS you name it.

I think he means Infinity War, and I agree.

I like to use Pluto TV m3u in Tivimate and my own curated content from Plex in there too with DizqueTV.

“Here’s a game that came out in 1987, except we’ve added DRM to it and pulled its new price from a hat.”

If only the execution was similar to the newest Rugrats game…

kratoz29 ,

I didn’t even have issues finding ROMs before the 2000s… Maybe patched/translated ones yeah, but bare ROMs… I don’t think so.

kratoz29 ,

I have only played the 2016 game, would you say previous titles have aged well?

kratoz29 ,

If you haven’t played Eternal yet, though, you definitely should if you enjoyed 2016.

I haven’t :/

I am planning to get into it though.

Vimms Lair is getting removal notices from Nintendo etc. We need someone to help make a rom pack archive can you help? (slrpnk.net)

Vimms lair is starting to remove many roms that are being requested to be removed by Nintendo etc. soon many original roms, hacks, and translations will be lost forever. Can any of you help make archive torrents of roms from vimms lair and cdromance? They have hacks and translations that dont exist elsewhere and will probably be...

kratoz29 ,

Every time I see this news (Reddit or Lemmy) I see this kind of comment, but I wonder, what if I want to download just a ROM of a few mbs? I certainly don’t want to hoard the whole collection, as a torrent user I believe I can just pick up the file (if it isn’t zipped), but wouldn’t that be against the torrent’s moral code?

kratoz29 ,

Why would you think that?

I saw that place gained lots of popularity fairly recently… Mostly on Reddit.

Isn’t there a way to just host all those roms in a site where Nintendo has no jurisdiction?

kratoz29 ,

What the hell, how so?

Now that I think about it not much software comes in rar nowadays.

kratoz29 ,

The Nintendo Switch theme is the most boring shit I have ever seen in a recent handheld… At least it can be improved if you have it hacked… But 3DS were much better, anytime I open it up and the Phoenix Wright or Hotel Dusk BGM start to hit is the real deal!

kratoz29 ,

I wonder if this move will be a good incentive for pirating Sony’s games… I guess we will find out.

kratoz29 ,

And a disappointing slim model too… (I was waiting for the slim one).

kratoz29 ,

I think it looks ugly, you need to buy the dock thingy separately?

And it is more expensive than the og model lol (without the dock).

kratoz29 ,

Ah, how to forget the first obstacle in my hobby self hosting projects, the damn CGNAT…

“Just open the wireguard port bruh”

No my friend, I don’t think that is gonna cut it.

(Thankfully Zerotier and Tailscale work for me).

He died doing what he loved more, creating more backlog.

kratoz29 ,

Work into immortality, ofc.

kratoz29 ,

Imagine tomb raiders of steam accounts in the future ☠️

“This account is 132 years old, it is worth it to hack it”.

kratoz29 ,

As an owner of the Switch (with a huge backlog) and a dreaming owner of the Steam Deck, should I be happy or worried about the backlog?

kratoz29 ,

🥲

kratoz29 ,

I do have a Steam account and some games bought there (from years ago, I basically stopped because I didn’t have a proper PC at that time… And that hasn’t changed actually), and so many others from giveaways

The “strongest” PC I have is a MacBook Pro 2014 with Windows 10/boot camp lol (it is almost the highest tier of that model) so yeah, that is basically not having anything (I remember it struggled to run Tomb Raider reboot, one of the games that I bought).

If you have a backlog and no steam account, why would you give yourself more of a backlog? (Although the emulation ability of the deck is fantastic, but again, why did a bigger back log hole?)

Basically this, I am lacking a proper device that can emulate GCN/Wii/PS2 games in a hybrid way such as the Switch.

I have a Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 that can do some of that and a phone with Snap Dragon 865 which definitely can run those games, but sadly it doesn’t have HDMI video out capabilities.

Also yesterday I was messing around with my hacked Switch and saw that Dreamcast and N64 emulation on RetroArch are better than before (I didn’t try it too much, but at least Conker Bad Fur Day and Crazy Taxi ran well, both in handheld and docked mode) and that is good and I want that for the consoles I cannot run properly yet.

Also I am a bit disappointed that some PSP games have issues with the latest version available of PPSSPP for the Switch… Android version should be better…

kratoz29 ,

The only aspect I think the Deck lacks is the seamless TV input, I suppose there is a dock for it, but something is telling me the games (depending on which ones) won’t look as nice as they do in the handheld (opposite as how it is handled in Nintendo)

kratoz29 ,

I started using it since I filled up my NAS and couldn’t keep hoarding stuff for my arr stack and Plex.

To be fair I always seed at least at a 2 ratio, and when I use Stremio (or Kodi) I use them through a Real Debrid account.

kratoz29 ,

I have a network monitor on my Shield TV all the time and I remember when I first tried it with Torrentio I could see my upload monitor having activity.

kratoz29 ,

I did the work first, then filled up my disks and moved to Stremio, no regrets, and yeah both solutions offer a better experience than Netflix, Prime Video, MAX, Disney+ and Star+ (which are the platforms I am have/once had.

kratoz29 ,

Can we ask the AI to remove/omit the ads?

kratoz29 ,

The ad is the content, from Google’s viewpoint.

kratoz29 ,

Even with the title I still don’t know who they are 😆

kratoz29 ,

Patient gamer reporting here.

kratoz29 ,

The library in my town is nothing fancy like the ones from the USA (just old old educational books and I got caught on some books of the first PC viruses lol), but hey, at least they had this gem.

I have neither and still find the Steam Deck more appealing for me.

Whiiiich, lends me to the next question, is the Steam Deck an inferior product compared to all the other existing PC handhelds? I mean we all know we have seen the Steam Deck basically created this new sector (inspired by the Switch), but I have seen lots of hate, or lots of praise towards it, by different users and I can’t exactly pinpoint which is the truth (it seems like the console wars of nowadays lol), at the point that all the praise the Steam Deck gets is a meme (I see this behavior on YT especially where this handhelds really show).

I still think the Steam Deck has the best price, but at the time I have enough income for getting one (and putting aside they don’t ship to Mexico) I think the market will have newer alternatives lol.

kratoz29 ,

Huh, TIL the Pi had competition.

and will have the longest support.

I thought Valve wasn’t known for a long support for handheld, at least that is one comment a friend of mine said (that the Deck would be forgotten as the Steam controller).

kratoz29 ,

often have worse frame pacing and battery life especially compared to the OLED model.

Yeah, honestly the fact that the Deck with less raw power leaves similar results is a huge positive point I guess, I honestly haven’t seen anyone complaining that much because of the performance issues.

And yeah, better battery life is always good in my book, I think other handhelds have a joke of battery life.

kratoz29 ,

I’m not sure what else they’d need to do. Other than still produce it, I suppose 😅

Yeah this is the part I’d be worried about if I get a Steam Deck and it has no successor 😅

kratoz29 ,

but Windows is so astonishingly terrible on handhelds

The way you are telling me this reminds me of the old HP windows laptops I used to use that their battery life did not even last 2 hours lol (I eventually got a MacBook Pro and that was a massive upgrade).

I still don’t picture windows doing that great with laptops (as in optimization), but I don’t know, I have seen very good laptops with good specs very recently that it could maybe make up for Windows being not optimized for anything.

kratoz29 ,

You can downvote me too, I don’t really care about imaginary numbers. No need to apologize.

You care enough to be bothered with Lemmy.

I am just disappointed that Lemmy was supposed to be a better place than Reddit, but my experience on Lemmy has actually become worse than my experience on Reddit.

I mean, at least this can be fixed, you can’t really fix Reddit.

And I think we still have a better experience on Lemmy than Reddit, for starters we don’t have ads here wink.

TBH I agree with you, 2 secs doesn’t seem like a big deal to me, especially when many other awesome games implement it, but that could also be because I have been desensitized from the daily ads of my life (it used to be worse, I have an ad blocker for anything, but I still use open TV as a background noise and there are some other advertisements you can’t just evade).

I agree with the statement up here that when we allow these 2 secs it lets the path open for more annoying stuff in the future, but also it is ultimately a decision from Nintendo to continue the deal with them if it is annoying enough for most users.

kratoz29 ,

Lemmy was not always like this. But since about 7 or 8 months ago, it became this way. And there is no going back.

Well, are we gonna ignore where the biggest influx of ppl comes from?

I’d say don’t take it too personal if other ppl think differently than you, I think this is the healthiest approach we all can take (especially when we are discussing hobbies).

This stopped being a matter of Lemmy vs Reddit, you can’t really fix Internet people, and that is to be expected.

kratoz29 ,

I think you mildly infuriated some users here.

kratoz29 ,

Does it have trakt integration or similar equivalent?

It has a subpar integration, if you care too much about this kind of stuff (getting a whole working multimedia center, and thinkering in general) and have a proper device that can handle Kodi in a lagless manner, I’d say you stick with it.

If you want a set it and forget it kind of solution and have less sophisticated hardware Stremio + a Debrid provider is golden.

(My Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 struggles with Kodi and a Debrid/streaming setup, also is significantly slower than Stremio).

kratoz29 ,

I use Real Debrid with Stremio + Torrentio. I just need to figure out how to add the manual torrent search & download plugin for Real Debrid since I watch a lot of obscure British TV, not everything is hosted already.

If you mean caching content to RD I think you can do this with the Unchained app, if you use Android, or you can do it pretty much anywhere you like using the RD website.

Then you can use the DMM addon to watch it on Stremio, or probably it will show up with any addon that supports RD, or if not then you can simply use the Debrid manager that is available at Torrentio, or as a standalone addon.

kratoz29 ,

It doesn’t right away (after a fresh reboot) but it fails eventually, as Kodi is my heaviest app, it could be due to my skin, but man, some ppl say Stremio is ugly, but Kodi with stock addon is way uglier that is not even pleasen to use, my skins aren’t the heaviest, Arctic Horizon 2 and Fuse.

It also could be because the Shield TV is my secondary Plex Server and that would bring some background load (even when it is not serving media), but I have done tests with and without this, same for the PlexKodiConnect addon.
