@mudkip easy. select none. nothing can boot linux without months of heartbreaking work.
@gsuberland @mudkip easy. select all. everything can boot linux with months of heartbreaking work.
@elsactivitypub @mudkip *hands you a PIC12F*
@gsuberland @elsactivitypub @mudkip if someone booted Linux on a 4004, I'm pretty sure we can get a PIC to do it. But just because we can, does that mean we should? (The not so mad scientist mantra)

@Susan_calvin @gsuberland @elsactivitypub @mudkip

I grew up next to a pile of 4004 systems... A kilobyte was a lot of ram back then, and these system's code was in ROM. It's hard to imagine them outperforming a good Turing machine 🙂

@dkegel @gsuberland @elsactivitypub @mudkip just need another light-year of tape for the Turing machine...
