Did you mean steam keys or steam legs?

I'm playing Zelda Link's Awakening DX. There's a fan made patch that fixes annoying things like those text boxes popping up every time you pick up an acorn, or when you touch a rock without wearing the strength bracelet. And I was able to continue playing the same save file.

I really didn't think the game would be all that good but it's great. The whole island feels very alive and every screen has something special about it. I wouldn't mind the next generation of Zelda being a little bit like this.

I didn't know Firefox didn't have extensions on iOS. I would have called it Firefox android instead of mobile. I'm glad there's still ways for iOS users to do this.

Adguard is in the category of questionable firewalls. I used it for a while and it was just too kludgey for me when there's not many apps with ads that I use anymore. Android has free software for pretty much everything at this point.

I did use that for a while. Google was always finding ways to break it. I don't use youtube on my phone often and when I had newpipe 9/10 times it was broken when I wanted to use it, so it didn't make it onto my next phone.

I don't get how Flipboard is even a product when opening any browser gives you a wall of aggregated news stories unless you explicitly set it not to. Any website dedicated to that in 2023 is like a factory that just sucks in air and blows it out the other side.

 

Out of the box it can play audio in the background, and now that extensions are available you can block ads as well. You don't really need constantly updating 3rd party clients or questionable firewalls anymore if you just want usable youtube on a phone.

Maybe they got kicked out from theirs and spent the next 15 minutes angrily writing this article.

With everyone talking about how much they hate their crazy uncle ranting about politics, I suppose it's nice to hear the crazy uncle's side of the story for once.
