So I insisted on using Waterfox Classic because of the "tab mix plus" thing not working on modern Firefox. I finally gave up because I was getting ads on Youtube, so I installed the modern Firefox. It turns out some crazy hacker figured out how to get multi-row tabs back! You have to use Firefox Nightly for god knows what reason, but it works! Only took 3 years! Here's the add-on: https://github.com/numirias/paxmod Now my tabs look like this in Firefox: instead of this worthless poo poo Chrome does: hope this helps someone else out there!

I keep a lot of tabs open for various reasons. For example, there's this guy who is reviewing every single hip hop album from the 80s and 90s, one by one, track by track. He does one a week. (here's the link for any hip hop nerds in here: https://timeisillmatic.me/page/40/) That's an example of a tab I keep open forever. I want to remember to check out the site once in a while. If I saved it as a bookmark, I would never see it again. Another good example is I have a bunch of tabs of news stories, usually from crime stories my wife and I saw on Dateline, 20/20, or 48 Hours. A decent amount of the time on those shows the cases are pending and you don't find out if they were found guilty or what their sentence was. So I will find a news article on the person, and leave the tab open, to remember to find out the outcome of the case. A good example of this is the story of Chad Daybell, who killed his girlfriend's two young kids as part of some religious ritual in Idaho last year. The story obviously pissed me off, and I eventually want to know what happens with the case. Without a tab of the story kept open, I would never find out. I guess I could save it to a text document called "READ LATER" but if it's not in my face like a tab is, I will probably never see it again. Other tabs are things like stuff I might want to buy but want to think about it, or projects I want to start but can't start yet. I don't like having 300 tabs open but the alternative (forgetting all of them) is just worse in my head.

I actually think my computer hoarding can be funny sometimes. To be honest, I feel like if I didn't hoard stuff digitally, I'd be one of those people who would have stacks of old newspapers that would eventually crush me to death, or I would have an entire home full of empty reusable plastic Chinese food containers. But my OCD and hoarding tendencies are satiated digitally, so it doesn't manifest itself in the physical real world for me, at least. So I actually kinda like it!

I've used the Feedly app before. I just don't see how it helps me with that guy's hip hop blog. I don't see the term "RSS" on his site anywhere at all.
