glimse, in Do you disable notifications for all your apps?

I have all notifications turned off except the following:

Texts, calls, and calendar events are the only things that can make sound or vibrate.

Discord, Snapchat, and OneDrive* pop up but they’re silent. (*I have like 100k pictures going back 20+ years and like seeing the On This Day galleries)

wheeldawg, in How many tabs do you have open?

I mean I love tabs, use em all the time. But currently my computer has just 1 open.

I don’t use em as bookmarks to get back to. People seem to just hoard them. And for no reason.

You can’t tell me there’s a good reason to keep hundreds open. It’s just laziness at that point.

You’re correct. I don’t pretend that more than a dozen of mine are actively used anymore.

Fake4000, in Do you disable notifications for all your apps?

I usually deep sleep all apps that I don’t need to run constantly, and their notifications get disabled along with them.

So really I end up with only the core apps to receive notifications from. Usually apps related to communications.

probably around 300, split into 2 windows, one “main” and one that’s effectively my YouTube to watch list

That’s pretty interesting, I find myself doing that with 3-5 youtube videos at a time. I’ll watch maybe two and eventually close the window and lose the others.

oxideseven,

Why not add them to the watch later list?

unless they’ve changed it, removing videos from the list I don’t want to watch always felt like a hassle, closing tabs is easier and has an easy “undo” function

hactar42, in How do I stop my cats from eating my plants?

The best thing I found is a product called SSSCAT. It is basically canned air with a motion sensor on it. When your cat gets near it, it lets out a small burst of air. I bought one a few years ago to keep our cat away from the Christmas tree.

Now if there is something I want to keep the cat away from, I just place it there for a few days. After that she’ll tend to leave it alone for a long while. She is obsessed with chewing on cords, so I just move it around the house anywhere there are cords she can get to. 90% of the time I don’t even need to turn it on. Just seeing the can keeps her away.

AgentGrimstone, in How many tabs do you have open?

No more than around 10, I actively try to keep the number of tabs I have in check. Sometimes I quit the browser and reopen tabs again as a way clear my head.

The zen method. I dig it.

Lmaydev, in How many tabs do you have open?

None. I bookmark stuff if I need to come back.

I envy your discipline.

Lmaydev, (edited )

Yeah but my bookmarks likely massively outweigh your tabs haha

ctag,
@ctag@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I tried keeping up with bookmarks before I entered this stage of tabbed life. I have 1378 bookmarks, almost all of them neglected at this point. Bookmarks are good though. How many do you have?

Thank you for the links!

snaprails, in What companies have made your blacklist?
@snaprails@feddit.uk avatar

Caledonian Sleeper who carefully wriggled out of paying a refund on a booking cancelled by the March 2020 C***d lockdown.

systemguy_64,

Credit card chargeback. The services you paid for were not rendered.

snaprails,

They ran the train but lockdown started the next day so my 8 day trip was off. Then they said you couldn’t get a refund on advanced tickets but could rebook later (at extra cost) up to a certain date but who knew when lockdown would end? I wouldn’t have been able to get more leave anyway. Then they said a few days later that advance ticket refund would be given but when I applied they said “Too late, it’s after the date you were due to travel”. Every other company I’d booked with gave refunds even those bookings that were non-refundable. It looks like Caledonian Sleeper’s days might be numbered anyway. Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

Zero. Not using a browser right now but I usually only have 1-2. Anything more than 6 tabs open and I start getting turned around.

That sounds like a healthy approach to web browsing. I dig it.

PixxlMan, (edited ) in How many tabs do you have open?

I had over 2000 in Firefox. That’s when I decided to clear them…

IndefiniteBen, in How many tabs do you have open?

100’s. It’s easy when using a tool like tree tabs.

I have several different ongoing projects with different avenues of research and I use it like a temporary store until I organise and store them.

ctag,
@ctag@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I should go back to tree tabs. On my old laptop I got firefox properly messed up and got rid of a lot of addons.

Empricorn, in How many tabs do you have open?

24 on my mobile browser. Not too bad, really.

Quazatron, in How do I stop my cats from eating my plants?
@Quazatron@lemmy.world avatar

Stop buying delicious plants.

Or sacrifice one of your cats to appease the plant god. That should get the message through to the other cats.
