@melroy I thinks rhats what I used when I was on Android. Would probably go back to it if I dropped iOS again.

Ah. Mona handled me being away for a bit wonderfully. I think this will be my new Mastodon client

@Ronnie I haven’t noticed it but I’m new to the app so I guess that makes sense. I reslly don’t care for Liquid Glass in general.

@Ronnie Teah. So far so good. I’m even messing with a custom theme.

@Ronnie On Ivory it can take force quitting the app multiple times on any device to get it to load to the top if I haven’t opened it in a few hours. Drives me crazy and has mad mastodon almost unusable for me in general. We’ll see if this fixes it.

@michaelgemar I don’t really need all the customization but I’m already playing with my own theme for it. We’ll see how this goes.

I'm giving Mona a fresh shot on my Apple devices. If it better handles loading the timeline than Ivory it will be worth it.

@ryan good. Fingers crossed

@ryan at the time, no. I was able to cover it without and didn’t want to risk premiums going crazy.

@wmjohnston06 hmmm. That is what is thoroughly broken on ivory.

@florianziegler ill give it a fresh look. Thanks!

@MattMerk I forgot about Mona. I’ll give it a fresh look. Thank you.

@stevegrunwell fair. I guess it depends on where you want to move to. Many EU countries don’t need sponsorship like folks do here. The “nomad visas” can still be pretty great (this is how we’re looking to do it). @topher1kenobe

@ryan hmm. I’m guessing it can be done on a few minutes so hard to say. Sorry to see it. Here’s to hoping you can get it replaced without breaking the bank.

I find I use Mastodon less these days as the client I use, Ivory, just doesn’t work well. My timeline gets enough posts that it simply takes me loading it and quitting it multiple times (it seems to stall completely after 2 page loads) to catch up if I haven’t looked in an hour or so. Thinking of the official client and installing the website as a PWA for desktop. Is there anything else I should try (all Apple based)?

@stevegrunwell if you have any JS experience around building a framework, we’re hiring and you can work outside the US (at some point I want to move to Portugal when we can). https://fingerprint.com/careers/jobs/apply/?gh_jid=5572591004 @topher1kenobe

@ryan oh damn. Did they get it in your driveway and you just didn’t notice? Had mine stolen like that too once. The really bad part is it costs so much to replace

It's almost quitting time and... thank god for it

@dustinrue Heh. This was IHG hotels. I've mistakenly answered it from them twice now. The first time I was, stupidly, nice in telling them to lost my number. This time I went to a script with few words that weren't 4 letters and insults. Hopefully they'll get the message this time.

I hate having to do it but getting myself blacklisted in these lists seems to be the only thing that ever works.

The one sure way to stop most telemarketers is to ratchet the talk up to 100 right off the bat. I have less than 0 patience for that shit. Rarely ever do I get a 2nd call from any of them anymore and it's worth it.

For the record: I rarely answer an unknown number unless I'm waiting for a call... which infuriates me even more as those are the cases in which they're really wasting my time.
