Historically there was a pendulum swinging back and forth between #client and #server in the distribution of computing power, with the era of #UNIX workstations maybe the peak of desktop computing. With the "cloudification" of commercial desktop OS's and more so with the emergence of #mobile, the shift to servers was intense. Now the immense "AI" datacenters investments by #bigtech are ushering what seems a terminally hypercentralized model. Not clear what dynamic might provide counterforce.

Best retro-styled/Frutiger Aero/Y2K/Aqua clients?
I really enjoy retro aesthetics , especially the Frutiger Aero style. I’m also really interested in old macOS Aqua ‘s design language and Y2K aesthetics.
I am looking for the best clients that follow this aesthetical rules for federated socials. I’m mainly interested in Mastodon, but I also would love to see it on PieFed/Lemmy and Friendica (since old facebook style would be fitting).
Does anyone know if such a thing exists for modern OSs? Should I look for clients or for a web app stylizer? Thanks.
