@streetsblogmass I keep thinking money is the most easy to understand and provide answer to many of the MBTA’s problems. It’s more nuanced than that, but more employees, more train service, more maintenance, more fixes, more people encouraging friends to work there and improve it? All of that comes down to money.

@nemecek_f Thank you for the fantastic article on nav bar appearance in iOS 15 and later! 🙏 It helped me quickly update an older app I continue maintaining after I got a report this week.

@fields yeah, I’ve been almost exclusively using it on my phone, so I hadn’t thought about it much.

I suppose there will one day be an aggregator web app that will pull in toots and display it with your own preferences?

@fields are you using the web? I’m guessing a native app could be a good solution?

A family in the Matanuska Valley in #Alaska built an igloo! They used food dye to make the bricks of ice (yes, they froze bread pans of ice & used snow as "mortar.) in different colors. Super fantastic job! Photos by a very proud mom & no, I am not related! 💗
