Have a guess at how many unsorted memes I have

Leaving firefox tabs open like RAM is free

I have coworkers who do this, then they joke about it and laugh together on zoom calls while their audio/video/screen sharing abilities degrade and crap out one by one.
“I have 143 tabs open, I’m so terrible! Hahahahahahahaha!”
It’s not funny, Susan, you’ve derailed the entire meeting.
It’s ok you can just download more RAM
Every so many months I'll "Share all tabs" on my Android Firefox to a text editor with no file size limit (which can take a few minutes just for that), save the file, close all tabs to wipe the slate clean, and never open the file I saved again.
It's like I'm prepping for the day I win the lottery, and suddenly have as much time for this stuff as I did when I was a kid. But even were that to happen, I'd still have more responsibilities taking up my time than kid me ever did - and I'd still be trying to keep up with new stuff at the same time. sigh
- Most of those links will be dead by the time you get back to them
Once a year, Firefox croaks in a way that loses ally tabs and its the worst fucking thing that can possibly happen.
- There are session manager extensions that will keep a saved list for you to go back to. This is the one I use.
There are creators extensions that park the tabs if you don't use them for a time. Thst way there is no ram being eaten on my tab group of 50 tabs that I want to have when I go back to that rabbit hole.

300+ tabs and 100+ screenshots awaiting judgement day

Noob. Those are positively amateur numbers. Come back when you're at least a couple orders of magnitude higher than that.

I low key feel attacked by this.

Leave me and my years-old bookmarks alone!

Then one random day your decide to look through your photos on your phone and wonder "why did i take a picture of this?"

True. But I am just hoping for a competent enough AI model in ~ 5-10 years which i can run locally against my hard drive which helps me sort this shit.

You sort of can already. For text it's definitely possible, and I've started doing it since my notes are mostly text rather than screenshots. (I use obsidian to take notes, and quick thoughts get their own note).
I don't have a mega cohesive workflow yet but this is the list of things I do:
I have a script that combines all my notes into one. This runs automatically in my computer every few minutes, and synced to Google drive.
For work (we have a Gemini Pro subscription) this plus some rolling meetings notes gets added to a gemini "gem" (custom set of instructions/context) that has been instructed to answer from my notes, so that I can ask it "what recent ideas have I had" or "what's the biggest problem right now with project XYZ".
For my personal notes, I upload manually the combined notes to perplexity and do roughly the same.
And the one that might work for you, now I've opened my obsidian vault (I.e. the folder where my notes live) with Windsurf, an AI-enabled IDE. These things can do much more interesting things than vibe coding. I use this for tidying up: "help me find topics in my notes where I haven't linked the notes between them".
You could use this last one to open your screenshots folder, and your monthly credits might not last that long if you're dealing with images, but I think that'd be a problem only at the beginning when you have a large number of unsorted files. You could ask it to put analyse them and put them into longer format notes, for example. Or go through them one by one, analyse them, and if they're worth keeping, add the text to a single big text file and then move the screenshot to another folder that you could delete later.
Immich works pretty well for me. One time I had to search for something and had to explain it, example: “small white rectangular box near middle of photo” and it found what I was looking for. Kind of blew me away.
- +1 for immich. Not ideal, not bad either...

Literally where I am right now, following a half dozen personal productivity bankruptcies (admittedly during a pretty insane time personally). Anyone have any suggestions pretty please? 🙏😓

Edit: Get out of my head Stamets! 😂

No

Sounds like me and my steam library. I have so many games I have nothing to play. This is my burden to shoulder.

I have a bucket setup with my web host and then I use the Dropshare app to upload them. If I come across a meme or video I like, I fling it on there and it copies the URL to my clipboard. Now I have a place to store them that doesn’t require maintaining a local collection.

How do you organize those screenshots?

I don't have a good solution for this problem. (4600 screenshots are awaiting to be sorted...)

The everlasting desire to have my own web archive being combatted the the knowledge of just how bad an idea it would be only just keeping it at bay.
