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.
- glitchc 1y agoI am sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine the grief. It must be very hard.
- tsuyoshi_k 1y agoReply 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.
