Today\u2019s small victory: I closed something like 150 tabs on my iOS devices.<\/p>\r\n
I did it because of an annoying longstanding iPadOS Safari bug: if you have a few dozen tabs open, and you force-quit the app, then when you restart the app, it often throws away all of your tabs.<\/p>\r\n
I forgot and did a force-quit this morning because iPad Safari wasn\u2019t being responsive, and of course when I restarted the app, the tabs were gone. Some people might have seen that as a sign that it was time to move on from those tabs, but not me; I immediately turned off Wi-Fi so as not to overwrite the iCloud list of my open tabs, and then went to open the iPad tabs on my Mac.<\/p>\r\n
Sadly, the place where iCloud tabs from other devices used to appear in Mac Safari no longer seems to show them, or at least I couldn\u2019t get it to. (In the tab overview view.) But eventually I found out that if I looked at the Safari \u201cstart page\u201d (which I normally keep turned off), it still shows iCloud tabs.<\/p>\r\n
So I opened all the tabs from my iPad on my Mac, and for each one, I either discarded it or copied the URL to the HTML file where I keep all the tabs that I hope someday to do something with.<\/p>\r\n
And then I figured that since I was doing that with my iPad tabs, I might as well do it with my iPhone tabs, too, so I did that.<\/p>\r\n
And now there are no tabs open on my mobile devices! Exciting. Won\u2019t last long, but nice for the moment.<\/p>\r\n
(I also closed some Mac tabs while I was at it, but I still have a couple dozen Mac tabs open that I hope to do things with in the near future.)<\/p>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[79],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19384","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-computers"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19384","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19384"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19384\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19385,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19384\/revisions\/19385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19384"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19384"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
