So apparently someone's managed to put Android on the Switch

I need to figure out how to set that up myself and then I'll finally have a fediverse app on my switch

@Frinkeldoodle Nice. I got a good deal on a broken switch recently and repaired it. I've been thinking about trying homebrew on it, but apparently nintendo has gotten better at detecting that and will ban you from online play and updates.

@theonefreeman From what I had heard, since the homebrew community realized crash logs for homebrew titles were being sent to Nintendo and disabled sending such, the only people who have been banned are those who have done things like install pirated games, make their avatar a custom image, play modded games online, things like that.

I completely disconnected from any and all Internet on my modified copy of the Switch software to play it safe, and checking right now, my console remains unbanned.

@Frinkeldoodle Nice, maybe I'll try that. I saw that gamecube emulation under GNU/Linux on the switch apparently works pretty well. I'd like to try running Windwaker on it. Also, having an actual web browser would be nice. The used switch I bought is pre 2018, so it should be hackable on a hardware level.
