My other pet peeves besides these:
- Android locking screen a second before I jab the screen, every single time
- YouTube app. Android and smart TVs. What’s wrong with it? (Vague overall gesturing) It’s garbage. How is one of the biggest tech companies in the world able to ship this and expect people to pay money for subscriptions is beyond me.
Android in general is trash.
Applications that steal focus more than once in their startup are the real devil
I recently wanted to send a file from Linux to an old tablet over Bluetooth. Can’t be done apparently. I can send it to my phone, a windows laptop can send it to the tablet, but my Linux PC apparently can’t. Still baffled about it.
- Getting users to post text instead of screenshots of text.
There’s ALT text.
I’m pretty sure that 5 is a feature because the button that moved is usually replaced with a clickable ad.
Printers.
Discord steals focus 3 separate times on startup. It’s so goddam infuriating. Battle.net does at least twice.
Steam does as well.
I found out recently that KDE has a “Focus stealing prevention” in their settings and it has been glorious.
- Yes I hate this so much.
- Use a better window manager.
- Use a better web stack.
- Don’t most browsers support this?

I love it so much when
redditlemmy clients think they are smarter and they renumber points 5 to 1 as 5 to 9…edit: oops, still sometimes writing reddit instead of lemmy after almost 2 years…
