    My life hack for that is to just never close any tabs.

    (Reboots)

    Browser: There are 496 tabs in your previous session. Are you sure you want to restore?

    Me: Did I stutter?

      I want an extension that simply saves every page I open into a new page in a specific OneNote notebook. Yea, most would be crap, but the storage is trivial, and the search capability would be awesome.

      Plus it would sort of serve as my own timeline.

        I have a local daemon and browser extension doing something like that on my desktop machines.

        In case you’d like to do the same, here are some time savers:
        1. More of a heads up but storage requirement will never be trivial, even with fs compression. Browsers limit resource cache for a reason.
        2. Unless OneNote has some kind of page nesting functionality beyond the usual outline/TOC tagging, typical browser-history population and web page length can lead to an infinitely-scrolling, memory eating, difficult to use note.
        3. It is easier to lean on existing browser and filesystem functionality by printing to PDF and optionally attaching wherever (such as onenote) for a number of reasons.
        4. Visual consistency of the print render will vary, but the PDF approach uses existing render in situ and is the only page snapshot commonly supported by progressive web applications.

        Besides PDF, the most consistent local full-page, full-asset save I’ve found is the .archive format. It’s used in the Safari browser for local saving and is the basis for features like “Add to reading list.” Archive appears to be something like a zipped wget directory but includes additional session state information for future page recreation. I save both PDF and Archive formats and browse using filesystem rather than another app like onenote.

        If you’re on Windows, this appears to be the aim of their Recall feature. Just be aware that it (and really that entire operating system) comes with a lot of privacy-related concerns.

        Edit: mention .archive format

          Tab Stash only saves the links.

          Right now I save pages directly to OneNote on Android, and simply copy/paste the page content on desktop.

          This retains the page content, so it’s searchable later.

      TFW one or more of those tabs leaks memory, so your browser crashes every few hours even with 64GB of RAM.

        That’s one way of looking at this if your mindset is negativity.

        I prefer to exercise positive intent and I see this as possibly someone with ADHD not knowing whether this particular trait is their ADHD or just a thing.

        I have ADHD and I am often like this, it makes you question your identity, especially if diagnosed later in life like me.

        Sure many ADHD traits are occasionally experience by non-neurodivergent people, but that doesn’t mean they don’t affect ADHD people in a debilitating way.

        It’s like heart palpations can be a sign of a heart attack or a panic attack.

          Exactly.

          Sure many ADHD traits are occasionally experience by non-neurodivergent people,

          They key is “occasionally” - for someone with ADHD these traits are pretty much constant, never go away. Medication and practice may reduce their impact, and you may find ways to mitigate/compensate, but the underlying trait is always there, waiting for you to become complacent.

          A neurotypical person rarely understands how much effort is put in just for something mundane.

              I was just posting about this in the last day or two, but my ADHD brain also likes to keep music or a conversation going in my head. And I always sought out talk to listen to, like podcasts. But I have found that the right sort of music is a great tool to help occupy the ADHD brain and let my conscious executive functions like, do stuff.

      I do not have ADHD.

      I do not do this.

      I keep everything open as live tabs.

        I also do not have ADHD and do not do this, much.

        I keep tabs open until I’m done with them or am setting those ideas aside. I’ll keep them around longer if it was hard for me to find, otherwise I trust that I’ll be able to find the information again. I can’t actually remember the last time I bookmarked a website, although with how shitty search engines are becoming, I might start doing that again to avoid having to slog through AI shit sites to find a site again.

    I have 1192 tabs open in my mobile browser. I hope, I read all those articles in this lifetime.

    Before, I was able to read so much. I finished Count of Montecristo in 10 days. Nowadays, I can’t even read more than 3 pages a day.

    I’m in this pic and I hate it. I would have like 20 albums written if I would just sit down and turn the clever concept/title and couple of stanzas into an actual fucking song. Instead what I do is open GDrive and get paralyzed at the sight of the burgeoning directory structure and immediately log off, if I even get that far.

    Anyone else keep those screenshots they accidentally take of their home screen because they know they’ll drunkenly accidentally delete an icon on their home screen and have no idea what icon is missing because they never use it but they e grown accustomed to it and want it back the way it was?

    Just me?

      That feeling of I know there used to be a specific app where this empty space is but I can’t remeber which one has driven me crazy a few times, now a days I just lock the home screen so it can’t be accidentally changed

      Nope, I don’t use the home screen - it’s such a terrible idea.

      I use folders on every device*, using the same structure, that way all software/tools are categorized the same though they’re different on each OS.

      *Except iOS because it sucks from a customization standpoint.

        Gross.

        For PC I use my launchers. For phone I have ~12 apps plus a weather widget on on screen, then device diagnostics and a Spotify widget on the next.

        My whole “apps” folder on android, however, is 8 folders (Google, Games, Utilities, Info, Market, etc)

        Minimizes interaction for most used apps. Your process would require two taps to use your most used apps. 🤢

    I’ve got 19,347 links saved in my current Read Later app. How often do I actually open it to get back to something? At most once a month for one thing, usually less.

      If and when you get around to looking at it, you’ll love everything you see. A mood hack I discovered is to look at saved posts in a random order, because I forget about everything, so it’s like a perfectly curated feed.
