Never realised there were so many tab perverts posting in here. Actually I just kind of assumed that all browsers crashed if you had more than like...10 tabs open. 2000? You should be ashamed

I used to save things in bookmarks but the whole bookmarks system started to get slow as heck by the time I had like 500 things in there. Which is not even a big number, wtf. Now I try to just save the most "important" things, and in a text file, because gently caress browsers.

I don’t want to gently caress a hall, even I’m not so deluded as to think my dick is big enough to get a decent amount of friction there.

How the gently caress do you even find what you're looking for if you have that many tabs open? Do you just hold down ctrl-tab until you think you see the one you want flash on screen? I feel irritated if I've got more than three open.

I use an add-on called One Tab and every now and then I press a button and all my tabs get closed and added to an ever increasing html list of links to all the former tabs that lives forever in tab number one. It gives me a sense of reassurance and comfort to know that they're there if I need them (I never need them)

I don't think he can log off and I would be surprised if he would abide by it if it went the wrong way, so that may be the funnier option if he loses and then stays on anyway.

thebardyspoon posted:Tab stuff Unsure what you can do about the tabs you've already closed, but going forward: There's a chrome extension called "Tabs backup and restore" which periodically backs up all of your open tabs. Can be handy. There are also plenty of other extensions for managing tabs. See this search and pick one you think will work for you: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/tabs?_category=extensions Also you can use chrome's task manager to (Shift+Esc) to close the processes of all of your tabs, which frees up your memory, but the tabs are still "open", it's just that when you click on them you'll get a grey screen instead of seeing the page. You have to duplicate the tab and close the old (process ended) one for it to load gain. This can be useful as you can just then close the most memory-hungry tabs.

Ctrl + Shift + T reopens closed tabs, including if you close a whole window of them. I don't know how far back it remembers them but you can try spamming that until your beloved tab stash returns.

I managed to cull my tab use by installing an extension that limited me to seven at a time in any window - if I opened another one, it would close a random tab.

Standard loadout is SA, another forum, email, twitter, facebook, whatsapp. Then whatever else I'm doing on top of that, but they always get closed down after I'm done with whatever it was and go back to the basics. If I can't read what the tabs are I have too many.

You get whatsapp on browsers. It helps type screeds to your friends faster and means you dont have to pick up your phone to text back. It's semi-useful.

Every day's a school day. I've got my whatsapp tab open, and then 2-3 things I want to remember (currently it's on the shop to buy a co2 alarm so I remember to research which one to buy) and then the 2-3 things I'm currently doing (twitch, SA, etc)

OwlFancier posted:Why is it 12 degrees C outside. I'll take it over constant shitballs freezing. Its back again tomorrow though. As to tabs chat. I don't know why but I pretty much live off my bookmarks bar these days. My memory just doesn't hold the bookmarks menu contents in my head so I entirely forget anything in there exists. My bookmarks bar is basically gmail, search, SA and a load of work links like devnet and various resources. Tabs I ruthlessly force myself to cull every friday before I log off as my work PC is now my main PC and I pretty much just want the gently caress out of my home office so I can lie under a blanket of cats and contemplate my mental state until the next week begins.

That horse has bolted. Even if Musk found someone else to be CEO, he owns it and has shown he is incapable of not interfering personally with things he owns, and no one is going to buy it for close to what he paid for it. At this point its probably best to just let twitter die and for people to move to a new platform.

I just have two browser windows now that good screen and bad screen are the same screen. Each has about 8-10 tabs. Also the text file where urls go to die, which comes into play when the 8-10 becomes 20 somehow.

Seems like some of you have work laptops that can actually handle multiple apps and lots of tabs, and don't have to spend half your day killing apps in TaskManager just so that you can initiate an MSTeams meeting in sub-5min. Must be nice. Vaguely related, anyone got a recommendation for a big-rear end curvy monitor I can get for my WFH setup? If I'm gonna be spending so long kissing and hugging the Bad Screen it should at least be a good Bad Screen

I don't think it's happening to be honest, it's easy to say that everyone should move to a new platform but not so easy to put into practice, the institutional inertia is very much with Twitter and the alternatives suck in a major way. You can point to MySpace and all but the adoption was far less universal back then, especially from the wider society like politicians etc.

I had thought my work laptop was garbage just on how terribly it runs, but just checking the specs its got an 11th gen i5 and 16gb ram. It still dies regularly trying to calculate a spreadsheet or run teams, so maybe I'm just used to not using Windows and that is how it's supposed to be.Private Speech posted:I don't think it's happening to be honest, it's easy to say that everyone should move to a new platform but not so easy to put into practice, the institutional inertia is very much with Twitter and the alternatives suck in a major way. Seems like a fairly steady bleed of users at the moment, generally every time Musk does something dumb (which is every day basically). Once the paid verification changes get incorporated I can't see what the appeal of the site would be for anyone not willing to shell out the $8 a month, considering you're posts are basically going to be ghettoized to what is essentially a junk mail folder. keep punching joe fucked around with this message at 12:55 on Dec 19, 2022 |

It's not optimal but i can't be arsed assembling a better one from my parts box, plus i like the look of the Dell. I know bugger all about monitors other than making sure the connectors match.

3 weeks to see a nurse, 3 months to see a doctor to get put on a waiting list for the BC implant. The first part is not "a the NHS is under strain, don't be horrible to them and wait your turn!!!" thing, it's a Royal Primary Care are dogshit thing. They have a Nurse sat there doing nothing for 3 days a week because they have decided those days are reserved for Diabetes foot checks, flu jabs and annual reviews. No one turns up or books any of these appointments. I know this because they put the nurse booking system online. Meanwhile it's a 3 week wait for diabetics to get a blood test. This is loving insane.
