- 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.
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 - 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.
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 :(
Localsend, I mean kde connect will work this way but I find local send more reliable
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
But how do I send the torrent file to the other device?
uhhhhh
make it a torrent

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?
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.

i was going to say, your missing one finding a job in cs.
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.
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.
Hello from programming.dev. Yes. This is correct.
Hi :3
- 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
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.
