I tend to either act as a data hoarder, but most of the time end up being overwhelmed with anxiety about having so much data. Even when I just look at my personal photos, I just feel impeding doom knowing it can only grow and grow, it will never get smaller.

I was wondering if this had a term.

And coming from this question, I am just amazed by this community. What has prompted your interest in data hoarding?

    This makes me uneasy. I have colleagues like this. They have 40 open tabs, and none of their desktop icons are even in a grid… With stuff literally overlapping.

    I call these desktops a “Layer 8 collage”.

      I feel called out on the number of open tabs but hey gotta put that RAM to good use.

      Seriously now, if I’m researching something the number of tabs just explodes to several hundreds. To be in line with the data hoarder principles I do save and organise the data so it’s accessible offline but damn it can become quite annoying to manage at some point.
