i wonder how waydroid is these days. i still haven’t gotten around to trying it but I just looked again and I see its downloads are still hosted on Sourceforge 😖
apparently there was a proof-of-concept of it working on windows before Microsoft’s thing that died today had even been released. if many people actually used Microsoft’s thing I imagine some will turn their attention to waydroid now.
That was fast. Wasn’t this one of the main selling points of Windows 11?
I assume the real main selling point for Windows 11 is the inescapable constant nagging you get when you try to stick with WIndows 10.
Already?!
Perfect, even more reason for me to keep my gaming rig on Windows 10. Seriously why would anyone consider using 11 at this point when all it is at this point is a glorified reskin with “AI” bits and pieces sprinkled on.
Plus there’s a way to install the subsystem on Win10
Well not anymore apparently
: /
I got a notification on my work PC that slack won’t be supported on Win10 soon. I’m fucking pissed. Like fuck you slack.
It should be able to work in Firefox, can’t it? If it can, that may be a better place for it anyways.
It should yeah, but it likes trying to redirect you to the app all the time.
That sounds bad. Do you use ublock origin? Maybe that could help. If it doesn’t, reach out to the devs, I think ubo has the tools to patch out any didturbing popups made by slack, even the “open in external app” popup.
I use uBO and I have a pihole, when it tries to redirect me I’ll take note of it more and if needed report it. I currently don’t use it in the browser much
And nearly-forced not-local logins and shit.
In the mean time Waydroid works like a charm on Linux!
