I can't imagine 147 tabs. I have 9 pinned tabs and maybe ... 6 other tabs open if I'm particularly busy. I also turn off my work laptop at the end of the day, because all of my state is restored when this handful of tabs comes back.
Maybe this is just me managing my ADHD, but when I see people with hundreds of tabs open I just can't imagine how they work. Every tab has been mashed down to its favicon and I watch them struggle to find the right one. It seems insane to me.
There are two kinds of people. <10 open tabs and >100 open tabs. Nothing in between.
I think of the >100 ones as people who have completely lost control of their lives. I'm sure they think of me as someone who needs everything to be just so and can't deal with the messiness of real life.
My 11 year old knows about mortgages. The longer you understand something, the better use you can make of it. Just in time delivery of mortgage math learning is borderline predatory.
When I was about 4 there was a financial downturn here. Lots lots their jobs and mortgage rates were quite high.
I still quite vividly recall watching the news with my parents, and there was a family crying in a hallway as some officials locked up the door to their apartment. Not understanding what was going on, I asked my parents why they were crying, and they said because they couldn't pay their mortgage and so they had lost their home.
Lets just say I didn't need any more lessons regarding mortgage payments.
I recently moved from an old Ubuntu MATE to Debian Trixie Cinnamon with 2.0 UI scaling and had the same problem. I overrode this with the environment variable GDK_SCALE=1 for GIMP and was able to more-or-less duplicate the previous compactness.
The theme might have helped too - I am using Yaru-cinnamon-dark. Some themes are truly wonky, with objects changing size and forcing re-layout on hover. WTaF that should not even be possible!
I used put my finger halfway to the object, look at my finger until the crossed images in the background converge, then remove my finger and let my eyes stay in the same spot.
> until the crossed images in the background converge
that's the issue! like an OP i never was able to "converge" the images. for me it is phisically impossible: they are too far apart and never come closer. maybe because i have an astigmatism.
