Installing Linux on old PCs and laptops is what got me into Linux (and other OSs) in the first place.

I still love it. There’s a joy of breathing new life into old hardware.
Perhaps it’s similar to how people like fixing up old cars even if people aren’t really going to drive them again.

@DarthYoshiBoy @dez It shouldn’t matter: thankfully both ActivityPub and AT protocol have open source implementations, so we can have ways for it to work together.

I think we have had so many years of app == platform == protocol that we’ve forgotten what interoperability really means and looks like. Even the distinction between Lemmy/Mastodon/Kbin et al. feels like a holdover from those times.
