A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

New subreddit talking about it here. I'm assuming it will eventually be a Lemmy community

That seems quite exciting, I'm personally hoping to see a platform agnostic Lemmy application available for desktop operating systems as that would be a really nice and convenient way for users to interact.

Why wouldn't that simply be the browser, and a browser-based interface for the service?

If you're running W11, you can run Android applications through the windows subsystem for Android, much like the w subsystem for Linux.

Or, blue stax is quite good in my experience

That's a good point, There is a way to get WSA running on Windows 10 through a few third party tools although I don't currently have access to documentation for that and I also ran into issues with configuring those repositories accordingly. Also I do feel like BlueStacks is quite bloated although Android Studio for virtualization and scrcpy for wirelessly controlling and viewing a phone works well for applications that aren't games.
