part of the reason everyone has a million tabs open all the time is because browser bookmarks are legitimately an extremely awful way to save links. the underlying design metaphor hasn’t changed in, what, over two decades? it comes from a much smaller and simpler internet

folders are completely the wrong structure. what you really want is to be able to throw a link into a service that will spit it back out at you *when it becomes relevant*, and/or *when you’re in the mood to read it*. folders don’t capture context- and mood-dependence

i’ve started thinking about “context- and mood-dependence” using the word “tuning,” so far only in conversations with - the original motivation was wanting to “tune” twitter to specific moods and contexts but i increasingly realized i want tuning *everywhere*

i want to tune spotify to specific moods and contexts, i want to tune youtube to specific moods and contexts, etc. etc. etc. i think a decade ago we weren’t good enough at ML to do stuff like this but surely we must be by now?

i was really tickled by independently observing that his twitter feed seemed “mistuned.” the time is ripe for tuning!

My feed seems weirdly mistuned. Like a radio tuned to the wrong channel. But I haven’t been able to retune it. 
Not sure what I’m looking for. I’ll know when I find it.

currently the way i actually save links is to treat browser bookmarks as an inbox where links go to be sorted later, usually into roam with keywords. ’s memex looks promising but i haven’t played with it much yet:

So far the best solution I've found is to dump links into Obsidian (or Roam, or whatever you use)
Helps keep my browser a bit less cluttered. And I can relax knowing that I will never lose the links
... oddly enough Ive just realized Ive never reopened any of them. Only one

Also, while we're on this topic. I get needlessly (i.e. excessively) stressed by what I name my notes
Need the name to be quite relevant, which can be hard if it isnt a legible topic. Also I avoid renaming notes because then I usually have to break them down and rewrite them

hmm i've never had that concern. almost every tab i have (often thousands) will stay the same if closed and opened again (for example, links to individual tweets). the problem is how to find those tabs again when i want them in the future, or whether they will be lost forever.

Onetab has been my best solution. Closes all tbas and saves links to them in the continuously growing list page

Onetab is a lifesaver in terms of not having a million tabs open but lacks mood, context, tuning features QC's talking about..
