    Stop attacking me!

    Then you forget or misremember the name of the site or idea, and it’s just lost in a sea of broken dreams.

    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.

      I have data on my NAS stretching back to 2002. It’s been migrated a few times, but the metadata doesn’t lie.

    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).

    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.

    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)

      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.

    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…

      Just like basically every mental attribute, ADHD is a spectrum. I’ve been diagnosed ADHD but don’t have it half as bad as many of the people here seem to, and yet I’ve also had a variety of bad reactions to every medication I’ve tried. Other people may have a few symptoms but not enough to bother getting a diagnosis, as it may not affect their daily lives at all.

      But also I’m another person who has too many favorites to ever properly read through, so this is a definitely real, medically valid internet comment diagnosis that you undoubtedly have ADHD

        Also there is a problem with some clinics diagnosing adhd ad hoc

        You just go they talk to you and bam you get diagnosis after one hour of half assed interview and questionnaire. It’s more or less harmless for individual imo but you waste money and time where the problem may be something different

        I don’t know how to approach this fake half assed diagnosis topic but it has disturbed my inner peace and itches the back of the brain

      This is something everyone does in varying degree and does not necessarily mean you have ADHD.

      Looking at this behaviour in isolation says nothing WRT whether or not you have ADHD…so the answer is maybe, maybe not.

      And you can tie in AI ✨! So you can make an LLM categorize the stuff that you’ll never look at again.

        Honestly, I think this was probably the initial product idea for this Microsoft Recall shit. If I could have something like that running locally, open-source and with a non-insane security architecture, I’d never again use a folder in my life.

        Dump it all to ~/mytrashpile and let the AI figure out what I want I’m looking for 😄

          It supports using a self-hosted LLM, and it’s used for automating tags. It’s not really generative AI, and you don’t need to send your data to the cloud.

      My first response to seeing this:

      “Interesting. I’ll add this as a bookmark so that I can go back to it later.”

      Honestly, with how many projects I have bookmarked, I should probably allocate some time to just looking through my bookmarks to see if anything especially interesting stands out.

      At work I use tab groups to keep them organized by project, so I can tell just how far behind/how overwhelmed I am with a given project by the count of tabs in a given tab group.

      It’s a highly effective way to quantify my work-related anxiety.

        But I can’t close them, I need to remember! I don’t know what I need to remember any more but they seem important
