- Any user input should take top priority over anything. I don’t want to wait for your 50 banner and ads to load to click the thing I already know I want. If I opened a program or clicked a link I don’t want, I want to be able to leave even before its wasted more time loading the thing I don’t want. And holy shit, those tutorial popups that explain features that you can’t click out of, and have to click through all the prompts to start using the fucking program, made way worse if you went there by accident and are now stuck.
I feel this.
I’ve visited websites of legitimate companies that I want to support, but as I’m looking to spend my money I get punched in the face with subscription popups.
If disrespecting me is the first thing you do when I visit your website, I can’t give you my money. It’s that simple.
And paid apps that beg you to review their app, no matter how many fucking goddamn times you’ve closed that popup, is a punch in the dick.
Google maps when Android auto detects music moves all the buttons up out of their usual place but it’s slightly delayed. Most dangerous #5 I’ve encountered.
#1 - kdeconnect. Plus several other cool features on it
Or sshfs between computers
OK. Now tell me how I do it when I want to send it between a phone and a laptop tethered to that phone via hotspot.
Localsend, I mean kde connect will work this way but I find local send more reliable
Honestly? Hardwire is the only way I’ve found to always consistently transfer files like this, to this very day
But that kills the hotspot :(
Usb cable much? Heh
Can’t do both at the same time through USB
What I do is start a micro web server with Python on a termux terminal, if you don’t have root on said device you’ll be stuck in the /data/data/com.termux/files/ but its still enough to save files with Firefox to said directory on the files/home/ I believe? (export or share to termux and you’ll be taken to termux on the aforementioned directory, where you can always pwd to know where you are) however if you do have root you’ll be able to literally start the mini web server on the / or any folder you like. And then on your laptop you browse to the IP of the phone and the custom port, which if its hotspot you can also find via termux or tends to be 172.20.10.1 or something mundane depending on your carrier.
the chaotic neutral for #1 is making a torrent and leeching off of youself
autofellatio
I usually use Pairdrop when on local network. Cross platform, P2P, quick, works on phone, and doesn’t need a download. The only third party software is a TURN server. Recently works over internet too.
I still remember when my 386 had 4MB of RAM, and I didn’t have a math coprocessor.
And I could still get online.
I was going to write that I’m old. But, no, I’m not that old.

Too many to count.
Just #3 by the looks of it
i was going to say, your missing one finding a job in cs.
5 is infuriating, especially if the site engages in fuckery like putting an ad under where the desired click disappeared from, so the user ends up clicking the ad.
How is centered div formed
It’s actually really easy though! Look up a Flex box generator and copy the code it gives you!
I hate 5. there’s nothing worse than clicking on a page, clicking a button and the split second before you click it the page inexplicably moves 2 inches up or down causing you to click something else
YouTube is terrible at this for me, I’ll open a video go to click full screen and right at that moment all the sidebar videos popup and the whole video window shifts left and I end up clicking on another video entirely. This happens to me at least 5 times a week.
YouTube as a site is just terribly designed imo. i miss the olden days of YouTube back when videos were rated with stars and everyone could customise their channel font, layout, background colour etc
Just press ‘F’ on your keyboard to make the video full screen
Hello from programming.dev. Yes. This is correct.
Hi :3
5 is intentional. Websites choose what size ads are displayed, they plan ad placement and page layout around that. If the page is jumping around as ads load they want it to. They want you to accidentally click, because that gets them more money than simply displaying the ad.
“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity” - or laziness/incompetence/lack of care in this case.
This happens regularly even on sites with no ads.
You give these people far too much credit.No that was true 10-20 years ago, prior to the online advertising systems becoming so refined. They used to just send an ad with a general size, horizontal, vertical, etc.
It’s too common and stick website designs take advertising sizes and loading into account now, so despite constant complaints now it has to be intentional.
woosh 🤣😂
Dark patterns. All 5. Problem solved
For #1 you can try KDE Connect. Send files and clipboards between your devices over wifi or bluetooth.
Sending stuff to another person’s device? 🤷
I’ve heard good things about LocalSend.
LocalSend is great.
Needed to send some stuff from my Linux server to my wife’s Window’s PC the other day, but I was at work and she couldn’t get her PC to see the folders I’m sharing over the network. So I used AnyDesk from my Mac at work, opened LocalSend on the server and sent the files over. 1GB sent over in about 10 seconds. Amazing stuff.
Some parts of living in the future are magic.
Doesn’t work for me on public WiFi. Tried using device IP, no luck. In my home WiFi it works perfectly though. Haven’t tried Bluetooth, didn’t know that’s possible
Many public wifi networks disable peer to peer connections over the network for security purposes, which breaks KDE Connect
3 is intentional, too. A performant page requires paying a skilled web developer.
