Boost also had this handy feature where you could tap a button to see the parent comment. It would open a popup/modal window displaying the comment with the usual updoot/downdoot, quote/reply and parent buttons - so you could easily repeat the process and read the parent context up to the root.

That was handy in long complex threads.

The definition of a 'risky click'.

You're gonna make it really difficult to jump on Boost for Lemmy when it comes out. Maybe I'll use both apps, or use Voyager on a specific device and Boost on another. 🤷‍♂️ I have been impressed from the get-go at how ready wefwef/Voyager has been since migrating from reddit. Not a fan of iOS, so I'm interested in having the in-app switch to change OS 'themes' in the web app framework you use!

Thank you for all your hard work and effort you have put into this app!

Used to use gnucash on Linux desktop for a goooood long while. I wanted nicer reports so I shopped around with homebank (one developer so slow development but very nice project!) and tried money dance (didn't like it, though I tried really hard). Eventually tried my own spreadsheets and apsire budget but finally settled on YNAB because I need a hands-off approach as I'm so busy.

I reconcile accounts every few days and auto-sync my banks with plaid (YMMV on how much you're into that) and it works for me. I'm happy paying the subscription but if it ever goes to US$150/yr I'm probably going to quit it.

I think silver-haired white guy has been on-brand for professional autocue readers though. That is changing a little bit, but I think it's the majority - at least until the grandfathered contracts run out (the likes of Huw, Eamonn Holmes etc) and the Beeb, Sky and ITV diversify. I don't watch too much rolling news but I think the BBC at least are already doing this with their news output.

The prompt in this post reminds me of Jesse from The Fast Show (Mark Williams)

"This week, I have mostly been..."

So for the rest of this week i will mostly be bingeing every episode of the fast show on BBC iPlayer since I'm told they're not expiring for another two more years.

And then after the final Fast Show I'll probably watch the anniversary special. Whitehouse's Rowley Birkin QC is phenomenal in the sketch where he's recounting a story of his youth without presently being drunk. Incredibly delivered and written in a poignant way that only British comedy seems able to achieve; à la Blackadder Goes Over The Top/Goodbyeee.

Edit: this is the one. https://youtu.be/QlZFfXAUr2I

Yeah, he may get turfed out then, like Clarkson did. Funny thing is I don't think Amazon prime video have a news outfit at the moment. Maybe a times radio online-exclusive podcast. That would be unfortunate. I'm forseeing a real 'rise and fall of' situation here.

Valuable! Have some Lemmy gold! 🥇

If that happens, then give it a year and he'll take up Jon Snow's position as head anchor of Channel 4 News. Not sure if Krishnan Guru-Murthy ever got Un-suspended for his on air comments, I'm a bit out of the loop.

Or there's always Sky or c5...
