    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?

    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.

    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)

    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 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.

    what’s worse is when it’s a store you wanna check out but don’t want the advertisement to get credit, and when you finally DO remember to check it out, the store is gone cause it was a scam all along

    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)

        I don’t see whats stopping you from doing exactly that ten years ago. What you describe it just tag searching. Plenty of software exists to do that.

          You’re missing the point that actually requires tagging and organization to begin with.

          The difference they are talking about is automatic parsing and natural language understanding of their screenshots and other data.

      Newer Pixel phones can do this already, and I quite like it. Basically a local model on the device writes a text description for each screenshot, and you can sort/categorize them based on that. It will refuse to describe particularly spicy screenshots (either political or graphic), but perhaps that’s a good thing.

      You do need to sell your soul to the corpo overlords though and join the Google ecosystem, which I continue to have mixed feelings about.

        I wonder if there is a way to do this on a degoogled graphene OS installed pixel phone.

        BTW, I’m looking for a source of a cheap pixel 6 or newer phone for privacy purposes (to install graphene OS on), I’m a disabled activist on a fixed income so it’s hard to afford stuff like that most of the time but at the same time it’s becoming more and more important to take measures like that for privacy, if anyone is interested in a trade or otherwise has a good idea for how I can get one, please let me know.

          I bought a pixel second hand and did this, it’s easy to do even for a non techy person. You might say which country you’re in, I could give some ideas but I’m in england so they might not work for you.
