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.
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.
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)
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.
I’m certain my wife is ADHD, undiagnosed.
One thing she does is constantly buy storage containers of all shapes and sizes to organise her insanely disorganised world.
All this has achieved is an insane amount of forgotten storage containers in the house and we have no idea what’s in any of them.
And yes, she once attempted to buy a giant storage unit to store her storage containers.
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 have Firefox on my phone set to delete tabs that have gone unused for a week. It helps my sanity.
I self host a bookmark tool literally called hoarder. Save stuff to it all the time, never ever go look at it.
And you can tie in AI ✨! So you can make an LLM categorize the stuff that you'll never look at again.
No thanks.
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.

These ideas are getting refined by fermenting in my tab stack!
