Like a girl, apparently.I like to use numbers to organize even further. I have a folder called "00 Projects" which always shows up at first. Inside it, subfolders for each project. If I'm working on a project right now I'll name it "00 myproject" and when I'm done, I take the numbers away. Every year I back up everything into yearly folders and start over.

all on the desktop with funny or descriptors. i'm a dekstop negro that's for sure.
Anything intended to actually be organized gets a descriptive but usually infantile nameAnything throwaway is just a variation of aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I name files and sort them into directories and subdirectories with descriptive but somewhat short paths the best I can, so long as I have the patience to do so. Organizing music is high priority, organizing frog pictures is low priority.My porn folders are each behind both a hidden directory and another dir named '--help' so it's slightly harder to cd into one by one, unless you already know it's there.
>>107038593I name my files based on whats i'n e'm.I name my tax stuff "tax." I name my assignments "assignments." I name my funny stuff "funnies."My porn folder is called something less obvious, though.

Woman file-naming is personalizing everything to be about yourself: "My Pictures", "My Music". etc. A learned man makes autistic amounts of subfolders to minimize noise. I dump all files into one of 6 or 7 mega folders with a bunch of subfolders in each, all of which is in a giant container called "Archive". For example:>MEDIA/>>Film>>TV>>Music>>Radio>>Podcasts>>Youtube Videos>>Art & Illustrations>>Wallpapers>>News Clips>>Interviews>>GifsWhole lot of pajeet-tier organization ITT.
>>107038593>>107038835Use Everything with meta tags.
code/ random scripts and codegit/ repos in my githubimg/ - gif/- 2d/ anime imagesvid/- rekt/- gore/3d/ porndoc/- pdf/- medical/- receipts/
Everything saved to Downloads. Once a day transfer everything to its home. Mostly Pictures, Music, Games, Files, Porn, or Videos. Pictures has the most subfolders arranged by 4chan boards as categories, plus a couple extras like Wallpapers. Games has folders for each emulator then a PC folder. All games internal even those that don't need it and Files internal because it's where the important shit is, Pictures and Music and Videos and Porn external. Porn is a clusterfuck but that's on purpose because I'm a bi degenerate.
Plain English just works.There are actual monkeys here just rolling their faces on the keyboard for file and folder names? Good lawd.\Miscellaneous\temp\Photos\Stable Diffusion\Taxes\RecordingsNo weird quirks. I just need functional names, not bullshit. If I cannot decide on a subfolder name, I use the current date or current month + year (Jan2025, Aug2025, Mar-25-2025, etc.). Unsorted files I prefer to stick in their own folder and call it "to be sorted".

I ussed to do it like the boys. But after 5 yearrs worth of solid trans conversion therapy I now name folders like the girls. Stll have my penis though I have been converted to thinkpads so it's even right now trooons.
Lately whenever I slam my keyboard to temporarily name an unknown imageset, using at least nine characters to avoid dupes, the string "jew" shows up so consistently near the end that I've started deleting it out And even when there isn't one of those there's usually "jwe or "jrew"It didn't used to be like this, my fingers just know...
