  • You only saw the tabs open on this workspace.

    But yeah I don’t have hundreds of tabs open. It is incompatible with my workflow. Only the “tabs” directly relevant to whatever is currently happening in the current workspace are kept open.

    A link either gets read or it doesn’t. If I don’t have time to read a link somebody sends me personally, I just tell them that. I don’t string anybody along about a link I know I will never read. I can’t allow for any link backlog. That leads to . . . dark places.

    Also, I don’t really use bookmarks either. When I disable search suggestions and use firefox suggest, it leave more space for history. It works so well I don’t really need to bookmark anything. Frequently opened sites make their way to the top on their own.

    Lemmy uses the system default for monospace font.
    Try changing the monospace alias in /etc/fonts/local.conf:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Font_configuration/Examples#Default_fonts
    
    That's for system-wide effect.
    For just firefox, go to Settings > General > Fonts > Advanced and
        change the default Monospace font to a monospace font you like.
    
    Source Code Pro and DejaVu Sans Mono are both very good.

    It's an experiment I've been trying for about two weeks, now.
    I am using whitespace to make written English easier to read.
    I put one sentence per line.
    Long sentences are broken into multiple lines
        according to natural breaks in the sentences.
    (I try to aim for an 80 column width.)
    Indentation is used to signal the continuation of a sentence.
    Basically, I am treating English like a programmer would treat code.
    As an interesting and unexpected corollary,
        the English is much easier to edit, and
        diffs are way cleaner.
    (I'm editing this in an external dedicated text editor.)
