my brother's laptop just conked out before the end of term — does anyone have any second hand laptops they'd be willing to sell?

As a student the budget (and expectations) are low.

Any lead would be appreciated. Please boost!

I have come to think of the two different approaches to decentralisation as different ways of cutting a multilayer Victoria Sponge cake. The Mastodon way is cutting them into bite size chunks — the whole stack is there, it can fit on a small plate, but it isn't going to serve everyone at once (but if you have enough of them everyone could be individually served)

Whereas the AT Protocol way feels like slicing it horizontally, so you can mix and match layers if you want, but very few people have a big enough plate to fit an entire App View. However it will definitely scale for an entire party of people. (You're also allowed to place one sprinkle on top as your Personal Data Sprinkle)
