eddieor: Their 2011 MacBook Was E-Waste, Now It Runs Omarchy and Their Kids' Favorite Game
eddieor posts an article, "My 2011 MacBook was e-waste. Now it runs Omarchy and my kids' favorite game." The MacBook spent years in a drawer, macOS stopped supporting it ages ago, and it was "basically e-waste with a nice keyboard." They say the install took less than 5 minutes and the first boot felt snappy ("Boot time: < 1 minute :) nothing to tweak :)"). When their kids wanted to play something on "the old computer", they built "a small native game using claude called "tinkerlings" made just for them on Omarchy." The article closes "Old hardware isn't dead. Usually it's just running the wrong software."; the still is a "tinkerlings" game screen with "Adventures", "Sticker book", and "Dress up" buttons above "Feed Momo" and "Momo is hungry! Build a slide for three apples, then press Go.", with "A little hint" and "Listen" buttons, over a painted meadow of flowers with apples on a wooden slide and a door in a tree trunk.
