Tabs. I need more open tabs. Currently at 67.
This might be one of the most hurtful things here I've seen π
Can't count the number of ideas I've lost simply because I can't remember to jot it down when it hits
From my screenshots folder (Psycho-Pass Episode 2).
Psycho pass mentioned! (Do not mention season 2).
I have a Project Ideas folder that would choke an ox, as my dad used to say. The only time I ever look through it is when I'm adding something. But tbh I do find items in there that I've actually done.
You know what moment brings me true joy?
Whenever I accidentally close my main browser window but have a second window open so that the browser forgets all my open tabs.
That's when I'm able to live in bliss for a few days.

LPT: click on Recently Closed
Lalala I can't hear you lalala - shoves fingers into ears
Backup your bookmarks and then delete all of them. The backup is for peace of mind "just in case I ever need one of them" (you won't)
Ouch, this hit hard.
I just woke up and I'm being called out like this?
Saving this
I did without thinking hmm
In the immediate future, the screenshot archive becomes unmanageable.
In the long term future, it becomes the modern equivalent of what your parents and grandparents got out of keeping a scrapbook or photo album.
I've been chronically online since 1997. Going through a scrap folder which I held onto when decommissioning an old PC or phone brings back all kinds of memories. I even find that noting the changes in my meme taste can be really useful for identifying points where I've grown as a person. That, in turn, leads to reprocessing old memories and identifying ways in which I brought something to the table which facilitated some of my own bad experiences. That helps me heal.
disorganized information is kinda indistinguishable from this 'entropy' stuff. it's very inconvenient. we should change that. does anyone know where to change the server settings here?
Jokes on you, I just keep tab groups on my phone. Only 3 groups of 500 tabs are hanging out and it's it's own overwhelming problem...
Me when I try to put all my reaction pics in one folder
I'm in this picture and I don't like it
F u four calling me out like that but also thank you for validating my feelings.
I always screenshot a million things on my phone and then purge them all at once one day without even looking.
Oh see, I just back them up to my desktop. Where they sit. Just in case. I don't have a problem, I swear.
You have to remember the thing you wanted to remember and where you put it only to find it six months after the point it was useful anymore but donβt delete it because it might be important again even though the odds of you remembering it and where it is should it be useful are near zero.
Not just screenshots. I have literally hundred thousand photos of which about 50% are neatly in the correct folders and the rest are a complete mess that I don't even want to look at. If I spent like 5 minutes each day organizing them I'd sort it out in no time but I just can't get myself doing it.
This is my non - organisation system too... For everything which I don't have to keep decently for some external purpose. Even though I also love to organise stuff ha.
I did manage to get everything onto a 2TB harddrive, so now I have decades of irregularly organised chaos (more or less, I lost some of it several times through not backing up) all in one place - yay!
Also, despite all intentions to the contrary, I'm doing exactly the same thing with my newer devices lol (that's the hollow laughter of despair).
I leave a bunch of of tabs on my phone web browser until i can't take anymore (around 15/20 tabs) then i organize everything with bookmarks so i can, maybe, some day, who knows, if i feel like it and the planets align, i might take a look on them, just maybe
This is exactly what I do too! Bookmarks felt too hidden and easily forgotten so I now have folders upon folders of tabs I mean to get back to π
Stop attacking me!
Then you forget or misremember the name of the site or idea, and itβs just lost in a sea of broken dreams.
I know that in the future AI will scour my screenshot folder and group everything neatly, add tags even.
Hope is a wonderful drug
My pixel 9 does that
Also maybe we will be able to prompt our pc with a local open source model βpick all science related screenshots and group by the topicβ - sure 1344 results, do you want to see them?, no list all the topics, - astronomy(34), quantum(23), ethnology(10)
what's worse is when it's a store you wanna check out but don't want the advertisement to get credit, and when you finally DO remember to check it out, the store is gone cause it was a scam all along
Did it unconsciously.
Fortunately the web ui doesnβt tell me how many bookmarks I have.
I go a step further and (browser) bookmark each post I save. All of the bookmarks are sorted by Comments vs Post, and Community. This means I can ensure that I can search by the title of the post in my bookmarks.
Hoarder app is great for this
I've used Wallabag forever. Wish I could import it all to Hoarder. It looks neat, I bookmarked it a few weeks ago.
You might be able to bulk import links
Oo looks like I can now and use it with ollama too. Wicked. Will take a look later, cheers.
Itβs a pretty sweet software! I recommend the app as well. I donβt use the ai part and itβs already good
