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 can't find the tab I opened 2 days ago, so it's faster open it again... which just creates a negative feedback loop of having too many tabs and not able to find anything.
Case and point: I'm in IT and we use github. Some code requires reviews (which needs "more time" to complete), then often I'm looking at other 3rd party repos' for documentation/examples/etc. Some might be useful, some are related to my current problem. Oh, I get a ping - I need to finish that PR review: "which tab is it? They ALL say github!" ... and I'm too impatient to hover over them. So, it's faster to just type the URL in and go.
I loved browser plugin, Vimperator. It was fantastic, I could (at anytime) type ":b " and it would search through my open tabs. But I've tried a bunch of the "successor", but universally they seem to get "stuck" when it comes to inputting text - either into text fields (like on a normal email form) or as input into the browser extension.
Recently, I found an extension that would group tabs based on your rules (so, I could separate the company github tabs from the OSS). It's far from perfect... but it's endurable.
... but what I really wish for is a Firefox plugin that'll allow me to type parts of the tabs domain or title and it'll filter the results.
I believe vimium does this with
TEdit: Wait, you don't even need that. It's already built-in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-open-tabs-firefox
Vivaldi (chromium) lets me set tab rules. Tabs will jump to the correct workspace automatically.
That’s quite the vicious circle. More tabs means more problems, and you solve them by adding more tabs. LOL
Anyway, when doing work related stuff, it’s common to need a whole bunch of tabs open at times. However, not closing them is the detail that sets you apart from some other people. I think that opening lots of new tabs is a pretty universal experience, but closing them isn’t.
