  • Consider a spring loaded drawer divider. Keeping everything from sloshing around can make a surprising amount of space.

    Drawer with dividers

    My drawer in the image used to be a nightmare. Everything used to move around and it would jam when opening sometimes. Adding dividers got it organized enough to leave a third of it free, which is now the rightmost section that’s filled with tea.

    It’s been over a year and I still feel a small sense of joy when I open it sometimes. There’s still messes of junk in the back left and right, but they stay put.



  • On top of the definition provided by the other commenter, it’s vaguely analogous to shopping for something, and opening a new tab for everything that looks vaguely good. Then doing a pass to winnow down and close items.

    There’s also structure for organizing things that are related. So if you weren’t sure if you wanted a toaster or a toaster oven, you could spatially have two separate groups.

    It only clicked for me once I saw someone else use it. I’m used to it just being hostile to search traffic.




  • Not OP, but most of it.

    Tutorials I might need to go a bit slower, remembering broad strokes isn’t enough, and detailed steps in order is probably too much, but that would be true at 1x speed as well.

    For videos generally I watch almost everything at 2x or higher. Headphones help, it would be much harder if there were any competing audio stimulus. If I’m forced to go at 1x I retain almost nothing.






  • 6 instances, 1087 communities, 27 users.

    I should probably look at unblocking the instances. I used those blocks early on to remove a massive number of communities I was uninterested in, but it has the side effect of also functionally blocking those users.

    I do wish there were better tagging and filtering tools. Some of the communities I’ve blocked might have posts I’m interested in, but there’s currently no way to surface those from under the mountain of memes.

    I’d also love to be able to block posts but not comments from specific users. There’s a handful of topics I don’t care about, and some of the blocked users are just very interested in those topics.

    And auto collapse comments with inline images (although that’s more of an app feature than a Lemmy feature).
