What have you done with a PowerPC today?

Picked up an iMac G5 the other day, so have spent today importing CDs for my old second gen iPod, surfing forums via Aquafox whilst listening to music on iTunes, and playing the odd game of Return to Castlewolfenstein. Mostly been enjoying how clean Tiger is, compared to the bloat in modern OS X.
 
Today I got Rust working on macOS PowerPC (beyond hello-world):

It actually can, though G4 are pretty slow, so speed constraint is there.
But a lot of modern software works.

Is it possible to get Discord to run on a Tiger through an IRC, or something similar? I tried it in Snow Leopard and it worked, and I think Leopard and it ran. This was a couple of years ago.

There is `abaddon` (in my PPCPorts), which will probably not build on 10.4 due to something being broken on the way (possibly can be hacked by dropping non-essential features) and `discord-lite`, which will not build from source due to this, but presumably pre-built app will work.

There were a couple of other ones introduced here on MacRumors (this and another recent one, but no source code for it). I guess you rather try and see.
