How is centered div formed

[-] Lv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

It's actually really easy though! Look up a Flex box generator and copy the code it gives you!

But all my best vids are saved on another computer!

Have you tried:

  • Curl
  • yt-dlp
  • finding that computer and stealing the hard drive

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.

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

[-] evidences@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] frenchfryenjoyer@lemmings.world 14 points 1 week ago

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

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.

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.

[-] a_wild_mimic_appears@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

3 is intentional, too. A performant page requires paying a skilled web developer.

Web page too slow? Use our affiliate link for a new computer!

[-] ajmaxwell@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

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? 🤷

[-] kwedd@feddit.nl 17 points 1 week ago

I've heard good things about LocalSend.

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

[-] ajmaxwell@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Many public wifi networks disable peer to peer connections over the network for security purposes, which breaks KDE Connect

For #1 you wanna try Magic wormhole. Maybe it's less user-friendly than you need it to be, but it works and there are lots of implementations for different owes (don't know about iOS though).

[-] bob_lemon@feddit.org 14 points 1 week ago

There's also localsend, which works like a charm.

i would absolutely recommend localsend. it has ios, android and desktop apps and it works flawlessly:

Edit: iirc you need to be in the same network though, it does not have gateway (?) servers like wormhole

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.

[-] Mustakrakish@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago
  1. 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.

isn't 4 expected behavior? if i open an application i expect it to be focused when it opens

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

If you open an application, yes. What if another application does?

[-] vfsh 7 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] groet@feddit.org 15 points 1 week ago

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

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.

4 - I bet there's some a setting for that in some Linux DE

1 - I did literally that two days ago with scp, cause I've had 200 GB to transfer and 40 GB free space on my pendrive

4 - I bet there’s some a setting for that in some Linux DE

XFCE's WM (xfwm4) settings. And yes, I keep it unchecked.

KDE has "Window Rules" and I think it has an option for that

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.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 points 1 week ago

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