aryai could focus on outreach which includes:  contacting private schools, STEM academies, universities, school IT departments,  law firms, startups, consulting firms, local government offices, tech companies about donating old laptops22:06
reslarya: I can make accounts on Loops, Pixelfed, and Mastodon, and a static site that syndicates to the big tech platforms instead of using those platforms each time we post.22:06
