While this is not something I would probably use directly just due to technical limitations (incorrect hardware), I do really like the idea. I am constantly clearing out old stuff that I simple do not use, it is a good way to be. No need to carry everything around, everything gets voided in a long enough time. Outside of the digital space, all the paintings I have done and everything I touch will be rendered null. Many will go to the rubbish tip either in my life time or very shortly afterwards. Don't try to cling on and drag this stuff everywhere. Back to the OS however, hopefully you could allocate somethings to be manually exempt from the deletion but it would have to be done so that people must do it intentionally rather than just trying to avoid the issue of deletion. There are many one or two notes I keep with little bits and pieces I would like to keep, the rest of it is just noise.

Thanks so much — and I completely agree with your take on impermanence and letting go. Actually, OS Yamato does support a kind of “favorite” (♡) to mark something you want to keep. But! Even favorites fade if unopened for a year Because hey — if it really matters, you’ll probably open it at least once a year, right? (And if not… maybe it wasn’t that precious after all?) Also, favorites are easy to find via sorting, and photos can be grouped in albums while memos can be organized with tags — so it’s not total chaos It’s all part of keeping the garden tidy, not turning it into a museum.

  That is a great middle ground. Keeps with the overall theme without compromise.

    Really appreciate it — thank you! OS Yamato is still in an early stage, so I’m actively looking for thoughts and feedback to help shape its direction. You can even use it to casually chat with friends — so feel free to give it a spin and see how it feels in practice. Every small insight helps make it better

  > if it really matters, you’ll probably open it at least once a year, right? (And if not… maybe it wasn’t that precious after all?) This makes me wonder if you've experienced much loss in your life. About twenty years ago, I lost my wife and child in an accident. It took years before I could look at photos without drowning in grief and even today, after lots of therapy, I can't look at too many before I'm overcome. These photos are the most precious item I own, and it would be devastating to lose them, but I do not look at them often or at every one. I actually agree with the over all premise that the majority of things we save can be pruned, but there are things that just... are beyond this simplistic view IMHO.

    I am sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine the grief. It must be very hard.

    Reply suggestion: Thank you for sharing something so personal. I’m truly sorry for your loss — I can’t imagine the depth of that grief. OS Yamato is not meant to impose forgetting, but rather to invite reflection. Some memories deserve to last forever — and Yamato allows users to mark items they wish to keep. That said, I understand completely that not everyone wants to revisit things often, and that doesn’t make them less precious. Your perspective is a meaningful reminder that digital systems should be gentle and flexible. I’ll carry that with me as the project evolves. Thank you again.
