Scrollbars. Ever heard of them? They’re pretty cool. Click and drag on a scrollbar and you can move content around in a scrollable content pane. I love that shit. Every day I am scrolling on my computer, all day long. But the scrollbars are getting smaller and this is increasingly becoming a problem. I would show you screenshots but they’re so small that even screenshotting them is hard to do. And people keep making them even smaller, hiding them away, its like they don’t want you to scroll! “Ah”, they say, “that’s what the scroll wheel is for”. My friend, not everyone can use a scroll wheel or a swipe up touch screen. And me, a happy scroll-wheeler, even I would like to quickly jump around some time.

The only difference between programming and games is that games have win conditions. But if programming languages were games, which would be which?

We released a new version of Privacy Badger that updates how we fight “link tracking” across a number of Google products. With this update Privacy Badger removes tracking from links in Google Docs, Gmail, Google Maps, and Google Images results. Privacy Badger now also removes tracking from links added after scrolling through Google Search results.
My Nextcloud instance runs reasonably well on the server side, and my desktop and phone are able to render the web UI reasonably fast when I want to...but I also have a tablet with slow hardware and wifi that is just unusably slow with the Nextcloud web UI. Like, it'll take multiple seconds to render the login page, but only on this one device.
Does anyone know of an alternative web UI for Nextcloud that's optimized for downloading and rendering on slow connections/hardware?
Edit: I'm already using Nextcloud, and I'm using it for quite a few different services, some of which have native apps available, some of which don't, and of course even when an app is available, not all the features are implemented in it. The specific device I'm dealing with here is a Linux tablet, so while I can use native desktop applications for some features, it's not like it can just run Android apps. But the problem would apply to any comparably low-powered hardware like, say, an old laptop that can run native apps and efficiently-designed web applications well enough, but struggles with modern throw-a-million-javascript-libraries-at-it web development.
