  • I have lots of different things I’m doing, not simultaneously but all of them regularly.
    I have a hobby for which im using ~5-10 different sites regularly. And another hobby with ~3-5 sites.
    Then I have a business where I keep all relevant tabs open, which are quite a few as well. Then all the general stuff (emails etc). And I probably still forgot something.

    I’m still far away from the 100s, but I do keep around 20-30 tabs open all the time, and that doesn’t include any temporary tabs that I do close right after using it. I have them all sorted and separated using Firefox’ containers feature though.

    Yes I could work with bookmarks too, but that has a few downsides. For example, for my business I am working with different Google drive folders for each project. It would be annoying to keep the bookmarks up to date or to navigate to the relevant folder each time when I can just leave the tab open and continue where I left off. Another example is one of my hobbies where I use the same 10 sites every time, so I’d have to open 10 sites when I do the hobby and then close them when I’m done, which seems redundant to me for just the benefit of not having tabs open I’m not using at the moment.
    So ultimately, to me it’s way easier to have an overview of 30 open tabs than managing endless bookmarks that I need to keep up to date.

    What I would prefer is a feature where I can have different environments and all tabs of that environment open and close automatically. So I say I want the environment “work” and my 10 work tabs open, then I work, then I switch the environment profile and all current work tabs’ updated URLs get saved and the other environment’s tabs open. If there’s anything like that I’d be thankful for a recommendation.
    That’s the only way I see me not having dozens of tabs open all the time honestly.

    I give donations, but way less than I’d like (less in terms of quantity of recipients, not the total financial quantity).

    What I’d love (not only for FOSS, but also stuff like podcasts and other things I’m donating to regularly) would be a service where I can set a budget and select the software and tools I use and it splits it up automatically.

    I don’t mind donating, but I hate managing it, having dozens of small transactions for it, and I feel like I’m forgetting to donate to like 90+% of the stuff I’m using. Also, with payment provider’s fees it’s often not worth it to donate <1€ a month, so bundling transactions would be way more effective - for me as the user as well as the recipients who’d get one transaction once a month from said service rather than hundreds of small ones.

    I never really understood why e.g. Patreon doesn’t offer this. You can’t expect perks with this because the perks probably will start higher than what’s the breakdown of each recipient woild be at a reasonable budget, but the advantage would be that (mostly) everyone would get a piece of your cake, rather than like 5 of the 500 different creators/developers/… you’re using content/software of. Also, you could reduce or increase the monthly budget depending on your financial situation, rather than cancelling or modifying dozens of small subscriptions.


  • It usually relies on honesty.
    If the vast majority of users is honest (which I would assume is the case in communities like this, because what big interest would men have in impersonating a woman just for answering to women’s topics) then you can have rules that you cannot really enforce. And you still benefit from them, I think there’s a lot less men posting with that rule than without it.

    I admit that I just assumed that this rule would be in a place where you have to be able to see it before posting.

    Now after your comment I’ve looked for it and the rule has only been announced in a pinned post. I agree that this is too hard to find; not everyone reads through every post in a community in case there are any rules for posting hidden in them (espefially when that post doesn’t even mention the words rules in its title). So I agree that this one’s on the community, thank you for clearing that up.

    Inclusive doesn’t mean they let everybody in regardless

    It does. I mean, if they not let everybody participate it’s by definition an exclusive community. In this case exclusive to women. Which is fine, but it is not universally inclusive (as the word “inclusive” without any further definition implies).

    I get what they probably want to say - they include every woman, regardless of age/nationality, if it’s a MTF trans woman etc. But they could have expressed this better - i.e. “inclusive community for women” or something.

    On the other hand, you’re supposed to read the rules when you post in a community the first time so this confusion could’ve been avoided by both sides.


  • Yeah, I assume if they took down Wikipedia itself then hundreds of copies would pop up all over the place, probably hosted elsewhere, and one of them would become the primary replacement over time.
    Media might be lost to some extent, but I doubt there’s any way you can take the text/information/metadata off the internet at all, and that’s the most important aspect.
