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.

From my screenshots folder (Psycho-Pass Episode 2).

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.

Ouch, this hit hard.

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 just woke up and I’m being called out like this?

Saving this

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.

Me when I try to put all my reaction pics in one folder

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…

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it

I always screenshot a million things on my phone and then purge them all at once one day without even looking.

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 don’t 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.
