Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,

πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

Other people's computer usage is weird to me.
I just bookmark stuff if I think I'll need it later, and I usually don't even do that. Otherwise, every browser window is closed at the end of the session.
People not understanding that we understand bookmarks exist is weird to me.
For me it's a suspected ADHD thing. If I make a bookmark:
Honestly if I was forced to close my browser sessions at the end of the work day, not joke, not an exaggeration, I'd switch jobs. I'm working on too many different complex things to have to rebuild my mental model of where everything was at from scratch every morning. I would not get anything done.
Tab groups is my new compromise for this π
Opera is such a trailblazer on that front! Clearly I'm not the target audience but I really appreciate them acknowledging all the crazy people put there with hundreds of tabs.
This probably won't help with the first point but you can hit Ctrl+d I think, or click the star, and it'll just bookmark it with a default name (page title) and location, I think. I've definitely bookmarked things by accident somehow.
I don't believe I have ADHD so I can't really relate to it. My original post wasn't meant to be like a condemnation - weird isn't always bad. Just different.
It's mildly interesting that you wouldn't get anything done, but I feel like if I had to work like you I wouldn't get anything done. Trying to deal with all those tabs would be a big distraction to me. Funny how different folks can be.
Yeah it's Ctrl+D. I do use bookmarks on occasion (especially for stupid websites with non-intuitive URLs and page titles I can't easily find by typing in the omnibar), but not as a way to organize my work.
The reason I mention ADHD for this in particular is I saw a home organization tip for ADHD that I related strongly to: ADHD brains really benefit from having everything spread out on a table, visible and immediately available. Trying to force an ADHD person to constantly put things away is super counter-productive even if it's apparently good advice for neurotypical folk. Though of course ADHD is not an excuse not to clear the messy table once the project is finished.
My computer desktop follows the same principle. I'll have as many workspaces as I do ongoing projects, and every workspace has all the tools I need open. And the good news is it's much harder to run out of virtual space than it is to run out of space on a real table.
Certainly may be worth looking into, and seeing about a diagnosis. I was diagnosed recently, at 40, and so much of my life makes sense now lmao.
What you mention here is definitely a trait for sure, I have this issue. ofc it means my workspaces are usually terribly cluttered lmao. If something goes in a drawer/cupboard (cabinet in US?) it might aswell not exist until i randomly find it again.
Well, what if you think you don't need it later, but you do? I don't trust my own judgement here!
Usually the browser history, or I remember enough to find it again.
Admittedly, a couple times I haven't been able to find a particular meme or whatever, but it's never been important stuff.
This is why you keep a several hundred megabytes history file set to remember "forever"
Ah, but that's for the things of which I remember later than I need them. Tabs are for the things I need later, except that I've later forgotten that I need them. Very important, obviously.
