Munin, Keeper of LoreDoes anyone else judge the difficulty of a problem by how many tabs you close once you've solved it?
Y'know, like Sherlock Holmes' "Three pipe problem" - "This was a six tab problem" or the like.
Dr. Edward Morbius ❌@munin No, I don't.
I used to, mind.
I'd motherfucking /like/ to.
But no, I don't, BECAUSE MOTHERFUCKING CHROME DOESN'T HAVE ANY MOTHERFUCKING WAY TO MOTHERFUCKING MANAGE MOTHERFUCKING TABS. AND ITS DRIVING ME MOTHERFUCKING NUTS.
Sorry.
I feel slightly better now.
But seriously. I've got a post-it on my desk lamp, dated 15 April, reading "close tabs". That's my message to myself to try to whittle down the tab list on my Chrome/Android instance. Fat lot of good that.
@munin Not, as it turns out, a newly-recognised problem. There's a delightful, short book published in 1909, "Commercialism and Journalism", by one Hamilton Holt, publisher of "The Independent" magazine, discussing the meteoric rise, and impact, of advertising on the publishing world. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
It is disarmingly frank. And terrifying.
