Ouch, this hit hard.
Did it unconsciously.
Fortunately the web ui doesn’t 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.
Is this everyone or do I have adhd?
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.
Can't count the number of ideas I've lost simply because I can't remember to jot it down when it hits
Google Keep/Apple Notes/Nextcloud Talk's "note to self" is a lifesaver here.
Don’t reply on NC for notes beyond sync
I know that in the future AI will scour my screenshot folder and group everything neatly, add tags even.
Hope is a wonderful drug
Also maybe we will be able to prompt our pc with a local open source model “pick all science related screenshots and group by the topic” - sure 1344 results, do you want to see them?, no list all the topics, - astronomy(34), quantum(23), ethnology(10)
"Her" mentioned.
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.
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 😄
I was looking for this comment! I swear it’s quite useful and not just feeding my self-hosting habit!

These ideas are getting refined by fermenting in my tab stack!
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.
I double dare you to close all. It's the best legal rush.
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
I'm in this picture and I don't like it
This is Pinterest basically.
Honestly I’d love an alternative to Pinterest that isn’t shit. Also a requirement for source/artist before you can post it
Downloading this to my meme archive I'm never gonna use 🫣
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.
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?
Stop getting personal
F u four calling me out like that but also thank you for validating my feelings.
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
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.
