Kateok fediverse, how do you keep your "Downloads" folder under control? I kinda gave up on mine.. x_x

leah & tigers & bears, oh my!i found that if you copy its contents to a flash drive which then turns out to be faulty, you find out pretty quickly which bits you didn't really need after all :-(

@kit_ty_kate I tend to just forbid the usage of the Download directory and temporary stuff goes in ~/tmp instead.
Now about half of what I used to get is nicely sorted but ~/tmp is quite a mess.

Klara in the hidden land@kit_ty_kate This is why I don't use a downloads folder.
Except, like, an awful lot just ends up on my desktop or in my home directory, so I don't know how much of an improvement this really is.

My “downloads” directory is on a tmpfs, so that it's emptied at reboot at least. Also, if it's too big, I may run out of ram :D

@samae i like the idea, i need to dig this out ^^" i already have a fair amount of stuff in tmpfs and I constantly have 80/90% of my RAM taken (i have 16Go)
