    This reminds me that my Downloads folder is like the attic. I don’t fear ls -a in ~, but I fear what I will find if I wander into Downloads unprepared.

      I constantly clear downloads, idk how people can stand the clutter every time they want to find something

        there are some directories in my machines i consider ephemeral. Downloads and ~/temp should be able to be deleted with no real consequences

        I have a script that sorts old downloads into folders by year and month. I’m afraid to open the folders but also don’t want to delete them 🤣

        Dolphin has a built in filter bar that you can enable, so I just start typing the thing. I know we’re talking command line, but I mostly interact with files through Dolphin
