6. 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.

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.

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

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

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.

i was going to say, your missing one finding a job in cs.

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.

Dark patterns. All 5. Problem solved

Hello from programming.dev. Yes. This is correct.

1. Syncthing, Localsend, Firefox Send, Cloud drives
2. Any download manager out there (Gopeed, Motrix. JDownloader, XDM, etc.)
3. Vanilla JS, uglification, minification.
4. Configure it in the settings of your desired DE
5. Remove timer to move button or delay it more.

#1 I thought nord vpn handled this pretty well with meshnet. Its been my go-to now for a year now.

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.
