does anyone know of a pixelfed client for any mobile OS that works and does not crash?

pretty sure Bezos read The Machine Stops and decided to build the machine

for reference the most expensive apple phone right now (1tb iphone 13 pro max unlocked) is $1600

and people say apple phones are expensive

the signal client is now panhandling. sweet.

wish this were open source so i could patch out the ads.

spacex just launched a turkish communications satellite into geostationary orbit yesterday from florida. this means the operators had to send the satellite to florida first to be launched; do non-US governments usually send minders/guards with their satellites to monitor them 24/7 from delivery to launch so NSA/CIA can't add firmware goodies?

this continues to slay me
