megane-kun ( @megane_kun@lemm.ee ) English5•7 months agoIt’s a subdirectory that was created on April 2023. Looking inside, it contains a bunch of APKs related to YT Revanced. I kept it there because I can’t come up with a better location to move it to. That’s basically the same story for almost all of the files that ended up staying in the directory anyways. However, I try to keep try to keep things clean.
Whenever I visit the downloads directory, I make it a point to try to remember the context in which the files ended up in there. If I can no longer remember the context, I delete it. If there ends up way too many files of “the same class” then I’ll try to move them together onto a different location. But if it’s a file or two that I can’t move elsewhere, it’s no big deal.
Chris ( @i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk ) English5•7 months agoOn my phone, it’s this which is datestamped 17 February 2012. I think I copied it there off the NAS, and the image is older than that.

SkaveRat ( @SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de ) 4•7 months agoMy default download directory is /tmp, so I don’t really accumulate much of random download files
janNatan ( @janNatan@lemmy.ml ) 3•7 months agoThe APK for F-droid, because I just got a new phone.
Bob ( @MadBob@feddit.nl ) 3•7 months agoMy downloads directory’s empty, because I organise everything to a laughable degree. People actually get inspired by how organised my PC and phone and so on are.
CanadaPlus ( @CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org ) 3•7 months agoThe Linux command “ls -t” sorts by newest first, if anyone else needs a cheatsheet.
It is “model_v5.torrent.zip” from December 2019. Looks like I was going to download AIDungeon back when that was new and amazing. I’m sure I never actually set it up and used it.
Tyoda ( @Tyoda@lemm.ee ) 2•7 months agoThe Linux command “ls -t” sorts by newest first, if anyone else needs a cheatsheet.
I thought to myself “yeah, like I’m going to use the command line to check it instead of a gui file manager”
Then I realized I was already going to ssh into my PC from termux because I am too lazy to get up. So… thanks.
Anyway, it is as I guessed a pdf listing the mandatory courses on the college I allegedly graduated from this summer.
CanadaPlus ( @CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org ) 2•7 months agoAllegedly? Uh-oh, are you have trouble getting actual documentation of that?
Tyoda ( @Tyoda@lemm.ee ) 2•7 months agoKind of, actually. The graduation partay was on July 25, but if you’re a no-show, they make you wait till August 22 to go get the papers. Guess they needed a summer break too, but come on!
lud ( @lud@lemm.ee ) 1•7 months agoMaybe they don’t remember it.

fmstrat ( @fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com ) English3•7 months agoMy downloads folder started in the early/mid-nineties. So TAG BBS execitable, probably.
iamjackflack ( @iamjackflack@lemm.ee ) 2•7 months agoI don’t have a downloads directory. The browsers I do use are set to ask for save file name every time (not always the same directory) and I delete everything when done using. The default dump everything to a garbage folder is not really a great idea
datavoid ( @datavoid@lemmy.ml ) English2•7 months agoApparently I have a bunch of scala tuning files from 1996
CanadaPlus ( @CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org ) 1•7 months agoDid you take a liberal definition of “downloads directory” like the other guy?
datavoid ( @datavoid@lemmy.ml ) English1•7 months agoNope, are you weirdly angry for no reason?
CanadaPlus ( @CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org ) 1•7 months agoNo. That’s just a long time ago.
I can’t imagine you’re on the same machine, so I guess you must have rolled over your files in such a way that the download directory was still preserved?
datavoid ( @datavoid@lemmy.ml ) English2•7 months agoFair enough - didn’t mean to sound confrontational.
I definitely didn’t download the files that long ago, that’s just when they were created. I probably downloaded them in 2020 or 2021.
The real mystery of my download folder is only a few weeks old, and was caused by a year long obsession I’ve developed - it’s called “what is this.mp3”
If anyone knows what this sample is called, please let me know! It’s the new craze I guess
CanadaPlus ( @CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org ) 1•7 months agoIt sounds kind of like the Morse code for “8”.
dizzy ( @dizzy@lemmy.ml ) 1•7 months agoThat’s the “wheel up signal” from the blu mar ten junglejungle sample pack. Classic sound in jungle and uk garage music.
https://blumarten.bandcamp.com/album/blu-mar-ten-jungle-jungle-1989-to-1999-samplepack
The sample is taken from this song
It was originally recorded from a saxon soundsystem clash in 1993
