computer talk, "pro tip" adjacent
it happened again, where someone saw me closing up tabs for the day and was like "what did you just do" - if you don't know that cmd+w / ctrl+w closes tabs, it's the keyboard shortcut i use most commonly next to cmd/ctrl+c/v. bookmarking is cmd/ctrl+d. the end of every day is just a spree of cmd+wwwdwwwwwdwwwdd as i rapid fire close and bookmark tabs

have never understood the whole "i always have one million tabs open forever" discourse. just like save them as a bookmark group if you want to come back to them later, you get infinity of those. the idea of leaving a web browser with one million tabs open just weirds me out. by sheer probability one of those is going to be mining bitcoins or something. just close them.
edit: yes it is also fine to leave tabs open the world is big and broad and all kinds of things can happen in it
edit2: i don't understand the discourse as in i don't know why it is such a big deal and worth talking about, despite generally being interested in the design of digital interfaces and how they influence behavior. it just doesn't seem like a big problem to me! the ephemerality of being on a website is not something that weighs on my soul but it is fine if it does yours!
edit3: truly! the last thing i wanted! was to engage in tabs remaining open discourse!

@jonny Bookmark groups do not have history or temporal context which is why I keep tabs open, I would happily use bookmarks if they ever actually were developed beyond the bare minimum of "a list of URLs in folders"
