Kid Rock makes music for people who have lost a toe in the divorce.
Kid Rock makes music for people who listen to Kid Rock.
Official music for people who steal copper wire and catalytic converters.
and know how much meth either commodity will afford them
Best one I’ve heard: Kid Rock makes music for people who wipe their face with a McDonalds bag.
Kid Rock is the king of trailer park anthems. The sultan of Methmusic.

Failing to link to the correct source is a crime both to web accessibility & humanity.
Did you know it is possible to edit your post & set the URL field?
In the app I’m using (boost), I can either post a link or upload a picture, not both.
Does your device not have a web browser that can go to the far more capable website?
“Though this app wastes more space, it also works worse!” doesn’t seem a compelling value proposition.
It actually saves on resources because it’s not loading in CSS and JS. Also I like the look, been using boost long before it was a Lemmy client.
It actually saves on resources because it’s not loading in CSS and JS.
I see no evidence of that: I’m pretty sure all clients load a web engine and related resources including CSS, which means you’re installing a redundant, special-purpose web client when you already have a general web client installed. Plus, lacking basic functionality as OP states makes it the opposite of useful.
Boost works great. Weird that you care so much about shitting on it.
OP just stated it’s less capable by lacking basic features from the website, so if “works great” means “works like shit”, then I’ll concede your point.
- opinion
- missing basic functionality available on the website
choose one
It seems absurd to defend the incapacity & redundancy of a deficient technology. Did you miss the part where OP can’t set the URL of their post & doesn’t seem able to perform an easy edit? The URL in the body is still wrong.
Your comment needs text alternative.
Images of text break much that text alternatives do not. Losses due to image of text lacking alternative:
- usability
- we can’t quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
- text search is unavailable
- the system can’t
- reflow text to varied screen sizes
- vary presentation (size, contrast)
- vary modality (audio, braille)
- accessibility
- lacks semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc)
- some users can’t read the image due to lack of alt text (markdown image description)
- users can’t adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
- systems can’t read the text to them or send it to braille devices
- searchability: the “text” isn’t indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
- fault tolerance: no text fallback if
- image breaks
- image host is geoblocked due to insane regulations.
Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images.
