I would guess they’re a Windows user based on 2 and 1. wget -c works for continuing downloads, and transferring files is trivial with sftp.
Fun fact we download things with browsers and not always wget also not everyone has an open port.
You’re using all 65535 or so values for ports? Port forwarding is not necessary inside the same network.
- 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.
I agree with 5 and 2. The others are user error and/or user ignorance.
- Syncthing, Localsend, Firefox Send, Cloud drives
- Any download manager out there (Gopeed, Motrix. JDownloader, XDM, etc.)
- Vanilla JS, uglification, minification.
- Configure it in the settings of your desired DE
- Remove timer to move button or delay it more.
- Is probably CLS, and that’s up to the website maintainer to fix
Hello from programming.dev. Yes. This is correct.
Hi :3
i was going to say, your missing one finding a job in cs.
#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.
Usb cable much? Heh
Honestly? Hardwire is the only way I’ve found to always consistently transfer files like this, to this very day
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.
the chaotic neutral for #1 is making a torrent and leeching off of youself

isn’t 4 expected behavior? if i open an application i expect it to be focused when it opens
True, but so many applications open more than once. They open a window that is just a logo, then 5 sec later a window with a loading bar, then finaly the actual application. And each time they steal the focus. Fuck that!
Logitech software that wont register my games keybinds unless I open it to spend 3 minutes loading and then hides my game while I’m frantically trying not to die from my lack of utility keybinds
If you open an application, yes. What if another application does?
Not sure if I want my applications to open other applications in a semi hidden way, if it does I want it to be obvious
You probably aren’t a desktop power user. I for example call GUI applications from the command line all the time.
Yeah good point, I guess the key is having the option to set default behaviours. Which I haven’t found in windows
Windows 💀💀💀
Or what if you want to open an application that takes like a minute to load like Discord or photo editing software or CAD software, and want to do things while the splash screen is there and loading still?
Steam steals focus like 5 times during launch.
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.
#1 I thought nord vpn handled this pretty well with meshnet. Its been my go-to now for a year now.
Dark patterns. All 5. Problem solved
5 is worst on websites, but “adaptive UX” apps do this, too. It’s a crime.
4 is trivially fixed, for many Linux WMs. Here’s for KDE. It’s less trivial for xfce, but possible. Here’s how to do it in i3 (this is as simple as any configuration in i3).
3 is clearly satire, and a very real and valid condemnation about modern web page design. Use Hugo (or similar) and pick a lightweight theme: there are several nice looking ones that specifically exclude JavaScript, which is the main culprit.
1 is such. A. Pain. Sure, if you use KDE or mconnect and the KDE app on Android, it’s easy. The Device Connect app works really well. Apple to Apple is trivial. But arbitrary device to arbitrary device? The problem is that there’s no standard championed by anyone. Apple is not interested in pushing their protocol: they have a vested interest in making all other devices a PITA so people are encouraged to buy into the Apple ecosystem. Google has been oddly inactive about it. Samsung does the same thing Apple does. We have the Wormhole protocol which is fantastic, but not even the main Linux desktops have built-in support; c.f. KDE Connect.
Idk why you are reccomending Hugo for number 3. Any static site generator out there performs just as same tbh.
I love magic wormhole. Still trying to get my bf on board with it. Before that, I used sftp.
Me too! It’s easy and reliable.
But I’d settle for any protocol that was standard and available on all platforms without an extra install.
python3 -m http.server
It’s the only way I can send anything to my old iPad. Aside from straight up using some cloud service ofc. This is much faster tho.Windows, Linux, Android, and iOS can all open samba shares…
In theory, yes. But does it work out of the box? The files app that shipped with my android does not seem capable of opening a samba share. Conclusion: I would need an external app.
And what about creating Samba shares? In my experience, creating a Samba share has been frustrating and cumbersome.
Not exactly a one-click share solution. If you set it up and get it to work then great, but at that point I could just use KDE Connect.
iOS does actually support SMB out of the box, I am able to just navigate to my shares with no issues. But android does, I use an app called “Cx File Explorer” and it works perfectly fine.
But I will admit, setting up and managing samba shares is cumbersome and requires quite a bit of know-how
Funny enough though, I think windows actually handles SMB shares the best out of all of them. They’re actually super resilient and reconnect super fast.
I didn’t know iOS supports it out of the box. Cool thatvit does though!
I use Mixplorer on android which also supports SMB shares. Works well enough.
And it would make sense that Windows manages it the best, SMB was, after all, microsofts invention as far as I know.
One issue that I had to deal with because of that is that SMB doesn’t support all characters in file names that ext4 or btrfs do. There is a “work around” that replaces the ofdending characters with lookalikes you can choose, but it’s obviously not perfect and if you would have two files with the same file name but one has the invalid character replaced with a lookalike, I think samba would probably get confused because iirc, the protocol itself cannot transmit characters in file names that aren’t allowed in NTFS.
Also when I set it up on my server, it caused me many frustrating hours of looking for why it doesn’t work only for me to find out at some point that the share needs a special SELinux flag. Setting up an NFS share worked out of the box with no SELinux shenanigans required. That’s why I’m still grumpy at samba.
may i introduce you to LocalSend? Works on Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, iPhone/iPad; its FOSS, and uses a REST API and HTTPS encryption. It even has a portable mode, i use it in our Windows/Linux/Android/Steamdeck home and it works flawless and fast.
edit: Didn’t see that it was already recommended below, lol. but no harm done, localsend is really a great tool for any network, especially with mixed os clients
