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 But back to your question: yes, when I'm researching something complex, I tend to open ... numerous tabs.
If I had my druthers about environments, I'd be on a desktop Linux system, with Firefox, Tree-Style Tabs, and Vimperator. And when I completed a specific short-term task, I'd collapse the tab subtree I was working on, and nuke the whole motherfucking thing, right there and then, with a not-inconsiderable level of satisfaction.
Takes a second or so.
