No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

because i forget to close useless ones.
And you just leave them? Do you ever get back to them? How about clicking the “close all tabs” button from time to time?
That button should be able to be turned off; is there a delete all button on your hard drive? No, that’s insane. Tabs are files. Tabs are life.
That’s interesting. Sounds like you don’t view tabs as a temporary thing. I guess they were initially designed to be very temporary, but apparently many people have started to use them in a very different way. Any ideas why?
ADHD overhead to further organisation?
I have folders of folders of bookmarks, save all tabs as a new dated bookmark folder at intervals (some bookmarks are therefore duplicated as many times as they continue to exist), just in case I hit the dreaded close all button.
I do try to get rid of them as much as I can, but it’s like in my mind when I’m deleting them the question is “is this process still running?” and (due to ADHD?) I guess 300 tabs is the answer?
Some things are not reproducible as bookmarks, for example pages with post content will be reposted on reload (or thawing)… which while perhaps is not great web design (and you would hope they would have error catching for safety), is a benefit of tab vs bookmark? Also I would say thumbnails as a visual reference, and they have actually saved me if a website has disappeared and all urls now get redirected, I have caught the title from the cached thumbnail.
I have found “history”, even if you select “keep forever” is always being deleted, and bookmarks do not get surfaced on search, presumably due to inefficient search/index/storage, however, tabs are very reliably right there.
If I could have a system, it would be no number of tabs, and they silently slip off into cold storage and lose their metadata over time, perhaps just a list of titles at the very top/bottom/oldest.
This is insane, I understand that :-)
Yeah, it’s true that many sites don’t really use them URL for much. It’s really annoying trying to bookmark a site like that. Sure the URL says it ThatReallyCoolSite.com/whatever. Once you click that, it just takes you to the main page, which is not at all where you thought you were going. However, if you leave sites open tabs, can the browser really restore that location after you update and restart? If it can, tabs really are more useful than bookmarks in that case.
eventually i either get to closing them or i start a new Firefox session.
