Currently watching this video from #FrOSCon which covers "Right To Repair" topics for software to help people keep running on systems that most people have stopped using. A relatively unusual approach particularly the "un-deprecating" of Windows XP by moving to the MinGW compiler and sticking only to C++11 features
"Every deprecation comes with a path forward for the user that already has it working"
