I turned my tab habit into a bookmark habit. Equally useful (ie not very), but far less messy.
Bookmarks are too permanent. Tabs are for things I’m interested in but don’t really care about (and so I’ll probably never get back to). I use different windows for different types of things, so it’s organized. I just have an alias to kill Firefox when I want to game.
Creating and deleting bookmarks is simple. You’re just lazy.
And that’s OK; it’s a victimless as a crime gets. Just own it.
Oh I own it. I don’t have an issue with taking the lower effort option. I also like that they go away easily when I close the window.
yeah IDK how the fuck tabs overtook bookmarks as the way to save websites. i got into the bookmarking before tabs were even a thing. seeing people with 6 year old tabs amongst the thousands makes me dizzy. there’s so so much better of a way…
Especially since tabs can’t be organised as easily as bookmarks can. How will you ever actually find that tab?
This is the way, van even organize into categories. I’ve never understood the appeal of having 400+ tabs open in a browser all the time.

I tried that for a minute but it didn’t flow for me, now I use an extension (tab stash) that does basically the same thing but ✨prettier✨
Not a fan of using a school shooter as a meme format
I wouldn’t have known had you not said this. Never saw this image before.
I didn’t know until just now either. I actually assumed this was from that Making a Murderer documentary.
Do you think people use it because they don’t know it’s origin?
yeah, thats kinda not good. i didn’t know what the guy did, i saw a couple of scenes where he tried to plead insanity to get out of his responsibillity. thank you for bringing this up.
I don’t know how it is in the USA but here pleading insanity is not a way to “get out of your responsibility”, it can actually be a risky move because you are at risk of being imprisoned for the rest of your life. While a normal life sentence normally isn’t a life sentence.
Generally people who fake insanity are facing the death penalty instead of a life sentence.
Alright. Then I fully support it. No one deserves to die by the death penalty.
thanks, I never saw it this way. I am not sure that the guy from the video understood it as you explained it to me.
Well he’s not actively shooting so it is ok
I’m the opposite. I’m a compulsive window and tab closer. I say I regret closing a tab or window about 30% of the time.
how do you do it ?
The little x in the corner
Or ctrl+W or if you’re already touching the mouse middle click.
it rids you of any regret ?
It rids you of any regret that’s currently displayed on screen, sure.
There’s always the history menu.
Not OP, but it’s learned discipline plus I can pretend I’m better than my way-too-many-tabs-open, loser co-workers.
Isn’t that the school shooter kid that tried to evade prison time on the account of being criminally insane? Idiot faked “hearing voices” and suicidal thoughts and did so badly at that. The whole interview is a cringefest.
What pretending to be crazy looks like, from our favorite channel JCS - Criminal Psychology.
While I believe that video has merit, I’d like to bring attention to münecat’s essay on it (and other “body language” vids), because there is chance Jim’s analysis is not accurate https://youtu.be/Y0VQyEY-B2I
To criticize this critique: The JCS video encourages the watcher to form their own opinion and highlights the farces that that murderer pulled off. The interpretation given in that scene was clearly their own opinion and that was, in fact, communicated even if it was not expressively written in the description. It was merely a commentary on the oddity of the situation.
my brother in christ none of this stuff is a hard science, it’s literally all done by feel.
Exactly. Binged all of their videos, they are actually informative and well-researched. But the topic is not appealing to advertisers, so YouTube had to bully them off the site.
I’m just going to rec some good creators that filled the void.
Matt Orchard probably has the highest quality content. Strong recommendation for him.
Dreading. Seems Intentionally dry but covers the most details of a case. Sometimes posting 4 hours of courtroom footage.
Explore with Us. Probably the most tabloid style presentation and worst editorial takes. They have the longest chunks of police interrogation though. They have alt channels for body cam stuff too which is pretty dope.
Thanks, only knew Explore with Us from this list. I’ll check out the others!
Average Internet user forgetting there’s a bookmark button
I hate having any more tabs open than I absolutely need. Right now, I have none. I’m probably gonna either fire up a YouTube video or find someone to watch on Twitch here in a minute, at which point I’ll have one tab open. I’m not gonna say exactly how much RAM I have, but I have as much RAM as my motherboard will take, so I can definitely afford to open more than one tab. I just don’t see any reason to, frankly, and it drives me up the wall.
Why so secretive of your ram?
Okay, fine. I have 192 GB of RAM.
You could handle at least 5 chrome tabs with that.
Oh wowwww. Look at mr/mrs bigshot over here with 192 GB of ram.
The machine I had before this had 4 GB, lol. That’s why I put so much of the budget into RAM when I built this one.
I mean, you can never have too much ram.
But if you don’t use it in its entirety, it is kind of useless.
That’s the system’s job. It can cache stuff or whatever.
192GB is way to big to be used as a cache
However, you probably could run some of the huge language models
Why are you calling me out like this? What did I ever do to you?
Possibly… maybe not the ones from kbin.social though 😢
I love the instance burns on Lemmy. There should be a whole /c for this somewhere. It’s like the yo momma jokes of the fediverse.
did anything happen to kbin?
At the beginning of the year, the main developer, Ernest, was dealing with health issues (without details). The project has not had activity recently because of that, and it is not known much more. We wish him the best tho.
Emotional support tabs
They do, and I’m tired of pretending I’m not
I closed 2000 tabs today. That leaves me with the extremely small number of 4000 tabs. Yeah I use Firefox sync. 😎
Can’t you just close all of them? Go though and close every one of those suckers.
No way I might need one of those in the next 9 months or so.
i’m offended
Yeah, I agree
I didn’t cone here to be personally attacked, jeez!
You’ll pry my tabs and red stapler out of my cold dead hands.
Aaaaabsolutely.
That being said, the only thing that’s getting close to my Sidebery tree tabs is LogSeq’s graph, and it’s a close competition. Might end up using the two simultaneously
I feel attacked
