Love the explosion of web based clients for mastodon. I’ve tried https://elk.zone/ and https://phanpy.social
Both have their moments. Elk is far better featured. But sometimes all you need is a simple scroller that’s fast. #web

My new favourite open source mastodon client is https://phanpy.social by @cheeaun.
It is a web app, but can be added to your Home Screen like any other app (even on iPhone).The attention to detail and minimalist, yet playful, UI is just out of this world. Whenever I use my other client, I wish for their features.
My absolute favourite feature is using different colours to highlight replies, private messages, boosts and hashtags.

Trucks and off-road vehicles are also fun examples. Who's the F650 pickup marketed to? People who need to haul/tow more than F350 can handle (21000 lbs) and people who want to drive the same thing as "racers ... kings, football/basketball/baseball players".
The AMG G63 has is similar. It's a capable off-road vehicle, more so than, say, a Range Rover, but that makes it hilariously bad on-road. A neighbor has one; of course they never take it off road because who buys a $200k car for off-roading?

- EXTREME SUPERTRUCK: THE ORIGINAL BUILDER OF THE F650 PICKUP In 2001, Chris Walker and George Stickler, owners of Southeast Utilities, were looking to replace two of their older trucks with a SuperDuty F650. On the way home from the dealer, they decided to take it out back and build a bad a** pickup. As soon as they finished the first truck, someone approached them and purchased the truck immediately. Partners in business for over 15 years, and both racers at a young age, fabrication was not new to them. Last year they built 62 trucks with clients ranging from off-shore racers to kings, football/basketball/baseball players, and guys who are tired of tearing up F350s every three years. Today, F650 Supertrucks is a registered Ford upfitter and builds 50 custom trucks for a discreet customer base of people who know what they like and want it to be completed in a timely fashion. Our trucks have been featured in Rides magazine, Poker Runs America, Xtreme Boats, Dupont Registry, Exotic Car Buyers Guide for 2006, Diesel Powered, and a few more. We won't try to sell you a wrist watch or a computer and we won't go out and copy someone else's truck and sell them as ours, but we will build you a truck that will stand up to anyone else's truck and come out on top. Feel free to call us to discuss your needs for an F650 or if you're a Ford dealer, call us for a drop ship code to build one for your dealership: (706)-733-6271

It's nice that the fediverse tends to co-locate horrible people on horrible-people-servers so you don't actually have to think very hard about blocking.
Also, feeling grateful for @nolan and all the other great admins that keep things bubbling along.

If somebody is finally coming around to your point of view, quite possibly the absolute *least* helpful thing you can do is point out how long it took.

I very rarely agree with the "CSS is broken" crowd, but viewport units are so fucked up we have like sixteen of them and they *still* don't always work the way you might want, or even consistently between browsers, so yeah, I see the point in that case.
