i use hundreds of tabs, have disabled desktop icons, and run inbox zero. i refuse to fit in your boxes!
Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser?

The weirdest thing to me is how some people brag about how many tabs they have open as if it’s a competition. Like, it shouldn’t be a point of pride, it just shows you don’t know how to use bookmarks.

Okay, I was curious what Inbox Zero is, and I went ‘ew’ at the ‘ai’ angle, but then I fucking lost it when I got to the prices. They went $18 a month (per user) on the annual plan, to:
- basically tags your email, which you can set up yourself using folders, and probably near identical through gmail or something
- get ai replies written up for you… which I think gmail also does now
- ’blocks cold emails’ which is just the spam filter with a fresh coat of paint
- ’bulk unsubscibed / archive’… you can do that in most modern email clients? I guess not in bulk but how many shitty newsletters and promos do you subscribe to, really?
- and an ‘analysis’ of your email…?
I do everything except the ai replies through cpanel and my email client, for free. Fucking hell, that’s almost 3x what I pay for my web/email hosting. And I don’t have to prepay for a year of service, and I get way more granular control over incoming messages. That service is highway robbery, and they have 15k users?! What the actual fuck. $18 a year, kinda high, but a fucking month…

okay i’ve never heard of that. inbox zero just means having nothing in your inbox.

Yeah, lol, I figured it wasn’t a real thing but search turned up this immediately: www.getinboxzero.com

Inbox zero just means handling your emails in such a way that you keep your inbox empty. Sounds like someone named a shitty SAAS product after the concept.

I think it’s closely related to people with tens of thousands of emails in their inbox,
Nope.
I have a half dozen email address, about 20 aliases.
My inbox rarely has even 5 unopened emails.
I have 100+ tabs on desktop, over 100 on phone.

Do you ever close those tabs?
TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 2 days ago
Didn’t Linus do some completely absurd tab setup a few years ago? They had like a crazy amount of ram, and started opening thousands of tabs to see if they can max out the ram or whatever. I’m pretty sure Linus has the bragging rights when it comes to tab count.
When you accumulate hundreds of tabs as a part of normal everyday life, that just looks messy and unorganized to me. Maybe this post will enlighten me. Maybe there is a valid use case other than stress testing hardware.
BTW that with 500 tabs also uses the desktop as a dumping for all their digital trash and treasures. It’s true, some people really do live in chaos.

Why spend all that time making and deleting bookmarks when I can just leave some tabs open? Also, too many sites are poorly designed and the desired data can’t be directly accessed from a URL.
TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 1 day ago
Can confirm. Nowadays the URL doesn’t really say much. Even if you bookmark something, what you see there isn’t really saved anywhere. The link will lead you to something that’s somewhere in the approximate neighborhood, but not exactly what you wanted to save.
One of these first world problems again…

It takes literally no time. You click the star in the URL bar and save it to your bookmarks bar
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 day ago
And what about when I don’t need it any more? Just leave them all in there, eventually cluttering up my bookmarks even worse than the tab situation?

You can right click it and click “delete” if it bothers you that much

Yep, it’s simply open and close. Bookmarks is open, bookmark, close, open again sometime later from bookmarks, close, then go back in and delete bookmark.
Bookmarks for me are super long term saves, not normal daily use.
