For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

Um hi.
This could be a picture of me. It's classic ADHD desktop, with things dragged 'for later'.
Later isn't today.
in my case i just have twenty different folders all for files "for later", with a datestamp. oldest is probably around 2021?
actually twenty is very generous, probably more like a hundred, all across different categories, with different and unique and sometimes duplicated files.
Ahh the custom software we used in the warehouse I managed had an upper limit on the number of windows it could spawn.
I found that, it was faster to keep a window open (as a child of the main process) than close the window which forced an update of the parent process current tab.
So I'd have an absurd number of open windows for whatever I was doing for the day. It got to the point during CV19 where I'd have too many windows open, eventually opening another window would kill them all and prompt me with a dialogue to send an error report to our BDM (lead programmer too).
He would daily get hit with multiple crashes from me, mostly just saying 'hello "BDM Name"'.
I've still got friends working at the same company, I don't believe this has been resolved since.
I have a script that auto erases my desktop every reboot.
