Why don't devs get this simple principle?

You mean UNIX weenies?
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

The warning is needed as default because otherwise most users would never figure out there's an option to enable it, and because you can disable the warnings from the warning window itself so at worst you waste two seconds once to get rid of it.

Seriously? Don't people go into Preferences menus? That was the first thing I did since I got my first computer at 9 years old...

i like that feature. sometimes i might hit ctrl q instead of ctrl w and it would be annoying if it would close the whole thing

most cli programs will fuck your shit up if you tell it to. no confirmations will be asked after you press enter

This is what happens when the Unix-hater knuckle-dragger gets BTFO on
He simply resorts to asshurt.

Well of course I use CLI too. Should have guessed you meant that. But not everything can be done with CLI (or not as well) so we should expect good design from GUI programs as well.

And attaching the worst example. This wouldn't be bad if it was bypassable, and it sometimes is - but I've had ones where YOU COULD NOT BYPASS IT. Security through babysitting?

I prefer to use software that closes at random times without saving your progress. That teaches me to be diligent about saving regularly.

i noticed that the gnome image viewer eog lets you delete pictures without any confirmation if you press the del key. is that what you mean?

Hmm. Yes, that's great design IMO. I mean no one presses delete just like that? And there's still the trashcan.

theres no trashcan on my system. was actually surprised because i thought first that it didnt do anything because its gnome software and thats probably a very advanced thing for their users but it did actually delete the file and would probably have deleted more if the key was pressed long enought to trigger it multiple times and thats very common with boomer computer users.

oh forgot that the del key is next to home/end that can be used to go to the first/last picture in the directory so someone could make a mistake there

boomers should learn photorec then (lol)

Yeah, I'm not going to defend this faggotry. Software should always obey the operator in the end, but it should also try to protect him from his own stupidity.

But today's software goes way too far in the other direction.

seems like the only alternatives are too much annoying warnings or no warnings at all and also no way to undo whatever happened

I feel you on this OP. It wouldn't be hard to make a document automatically save when you X out or shutdown. Then offer to restore documents.

One thing that personally annoys me is when I'm transferring files either between locations on my normal machine or over network an some error comes up when I'm transferring files then it hangs with a dialogue box do you want to replace or some shit like that. I never could figure out why they make the transfer skip that part and then alert you at the end after all of the other files have been transfered. Nothing worse than starting a 60gb transfer and going to sleep thinking it will be done in the morning only wake up and have a dialogue box asking if you. Fuck. 3% finished. Takes all fucking.

Uploading to Google drive and same thing happens. Do you want to? No I don't want to just transfer the files. How about coding a conditional transfer? This error handling could be done with a few more lines of code and mitigate the impact on the end user.

600+iq

Some certificate schemes will flat out not allow a connection if the cert is not valid, so there's no point in bypassing the error as you won't get a valid response from the server.

cp or mv does not do that and seems to be faster and use less cpu than the gui file managers

I SAVED IT! JUST LET ME OPEN THE PROGRAM YOU DOUBLE NIGGER FAGGOTS

Stop using software written for children

this one ticks me off the most about libreoffice and that's not accounting the loading times (even gimp isn't that bad)

or you could just have a recycle bin and be guaranteed to recover the whole file.

He said accidently hit the X button retard. You can also accidently hit shortcuts to close windows too.

Just untick options>load/save>general>save auto-recovery info.
Hope that helped.

I agree anons, MS Office is better than LibreOffice.

MS Office has the same default behavior if I remember correctly.
LibreOffice just copied the cancer.

When you libre faggots start creating quality software then we'll talk. Your libre shit is worse than Office 2007.

anything after office 2003 is unusable garbage

Glad I'm not the only one. Shit has pissed me off from the very beginning.

while root:
rm -rf * /
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1

neither have asked if a fubar is about to occur. use a command line

or not be a nigger and RTFM

worse than OP's gripe is software that wants you to connect to the botnet for the manual.

iptables probably has man but another manual is often needed to understand the manpage

it was more a general example of a lazy documentation practice, not solely for firewall software.

What if there was a browser that stored your tabs/data in memory for a few seconds after you exit out? That way if you accidently click 'x', you can panic and open the browser again and your stuff will still be there.

Somebody fund this please.

What’s photorec?

Ctrl-Shift-T

Fuck yes that's great. First time I see something like it.

PS3:
Hold middle button
Scroll to "shut down"
Click
"Are you sure you want to shut down? Yes/No"
