Define old? I have older/vintage Mac gear I use on a regular basis. My G5 still has my entire music collection and syncs all my iPods just fine.

ATARI Mega STE. But just for fun. Is there a Telnet server for mastodon?

As a daily driver? No, but my c64 is just a few feet away when I need it.

i think you underestimate new retro 😆

my desktop pc has amd fx4300 (release date 2012), gtx 750 (release 2014) and my laptop is thinkpad x201 (release 2010).

and it is quite enough for everything i do. i am afraid it won't be able to deal with kcd2 that might be released within a year, so update may be onto me 😞

I legitimately use a 20 year old PDA as a personal organizer to help organize my life. I could just use my phone, but my phone has distractions like Lemmy, YouTube, Lemuroid, various texting clients, movies, music, internet, heaps of stuff to distract me. On my PDA, most I've got are a few albums, a handful of brief ten to fifteen minute time waster games, and personal organizer tools to help organize shit in my life. It's genuinely helpful xD

I used a newton mp2100 up until the 2013 bug, years after I had an iPhone. I loved the thing, but didn’t bother with the community made patch

My teenaged son only recently stopped using an iMac G4 because it stopped turning the screen on at bootup(nor would it work with an external display - we got the VGA adapter). Was running Void Linux.

Given the community I'd guess a fair number of us do. I have a large army of old Macs that I'm actually kinda looking to cut down a little since I don't use them anywhere near as much as I should. For a while I hadn't used any of them in months but I'm finally getting back into tinkering with them (mostly because I picked up a Newton at a thrift store).

I do, I use an old 386 to write on and transfer them via a 3.5" floppy drive to USB.
