Session buddy was a big one for me in college when I had an overwhelming number of tabs open but didn't want to forget about what was on them. Basically just archives all your open tabs to a single page you can refine and look back at, so you can quickly just close everything and start fresh without actually losing anything meaningful or cluttering up your bookmarks.

The marvellous suspender helped prevent those tabs from using so much memory. Chrome hogs enough memory as it is lol.

I have one called tab manager plus which looks handy but I honestly forgot it was there before I ever actually used it lol

That looks to be an Access prompt, from the MS office suite. If you've ever written a macro you know how ancient the UI looks behind the scenes with those apps, and this isn't even a main line office app since it deals with databases and they push excel to work with sets of data like that.

So yes it's a Microsoft product, but it's not really native Windows and it's not an app that makes a lot of sense to spend a lot of time developing.

Just for accuracy's sake. I'm certain there are better examples.

Anyways, I'm perfectly fine with dated UI as long as it's efficient and does what it's supposed to do. If they perfected this stuff way back when you had one chance to ship out a working product, is it really necessary to reinvent the wheel just for aesthetics? Cause that's how you get a neutered settings app instead of a fully functional control panel.

Lol I installed open shell several years ago and have not looked back since. If I wanted to search the web with your shitty search engine, microsoft, I would have opened your shitty browser, now please sit down.

Probably shouldn't have installed it on my work computer for security compliance reasons but it's such an improvement in my workflow that I couldn't not install it. Highly recommend. Legit cannot imagine using windows without it anymore. https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu

I started just mixing some psyllium husk into my usual water consumption, but that's partially to support my intermittent fasting schedule.

tbh I'm not sure if nuked garlic is going to be much better than pre-minced and jarred garlic

I also hate the smell that lingers on my hands for days after touching it. Would much rather just scoop it with a tablespoon and call it a day.

Right cause I think having both having access to normie content and giving normies access to fediverse content is a positive thing if we can balance out the power dynamic with meta. Blocking threads content would just defeat the purpose imo, it would prevent people from leaving threads for the fediverse because they wont be able to get the same content. If threads has it all and fediverse doesn't, most people are just going to go to/stay at threads. It could backfire.

Maybe if instances could allow meta users to see their posts to pique their interest/gain exposure, but meta users have to join any other instance in order to interact? Kind of like an ad I guess but UI native and unpaid. Though I'm really not sure if the fediverse platform would even support such things in the first place, and if meta couldn't just fire back with the same thing. It's just the first thing that comes to mind.

The fediverse's number one issues right now as I see it are accessibility and content density. I get the concerns people have with EEE but I also struggle not to see this as handling that last E (exterminate) ourselves just to spite meta. I want to join threads just to see what my friends and everyday people are posting, and I'd really like those people to join the fediverse so I can interact with them here. The only things keeping me away from threads however are privacy concerns and supporting meta, so being able to see the same content on a different instance might just be the best of both worlds.

Idk what this has to do with the post but I'm a simple woman. I see MSPA, I upvote.

Not sure where I heard this one but the joke was that bill gates named it after his dick

I used to use sleepyti.me until it was bought by some shitty company that sells mattresses or something and subsequently went to ugly bloated ad-infested "modernized" shit.

I just checked again for the first time in a while and it seems to have improved since it was first redesigned, though it's still not as simple and lightweight as it once was.

Anyways. It helped when I used it. Kept a shortcut right on my home screen for the longest time. If you can look past the stupid brand name they've chosen to redirect to, it's worth a shot.
