I often catch myself using Downloads to store a very suspicious quantity of files.

Linux or Windows… doesn’t matter. Downloads is where I. Will find it.

😳 > du -sh Downloads 168G Downloads

[–] GreenMartian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 10 hours ago

You're a massive du -sh

If you want to make yourself organize better, set up a cron to remove all downloads older than 7 days 😳 then you’ll be efficient—and probably have nightmares.
