I've got some standing orders of 1 or 2 euros every month for bigger projects like grapheneos and kde. And for small apps that I actively use, I try to donate 5 or 10 euros now and then. It's not much but I believe if everyone is doing their part we succeed in the long run

I have my bookmarks in folders and subfolders, so I can find them when I need to.

In terms of what my bookmarks are:

2300 Video game bookmarks
800 Manga bookmarks
600 Music bookmarks
750 YouTube videos to watch
250 YouTube videos saved because they were good
150 News articles and blog posts to read
120 Books, movies, and TV series
100 Various privacy services I need to switch to
600 Old bookmarks that I moved into a folder instead of deleting

The core theme here is that I refuse to use built-in tracking mechanisms. I don't want vendor lock-in so I use bookmarks instead to manage them (which Qobuz makes very difficult).

I do it differently; I essentially have a software list there, too, and all are categorized.

Gotta say that is organized.

Curious about bookmarking video games. Like games online? Guides? How would that work? You can self host collections, so why the book mark?

Same with Manga, why not self host your own library?

Seems like you are making a lot of work for a browser when the tools to do it much easier are already there.

With games, they're are various categories like:

Demos I want to play
Demos I've played and my opinion on them
Demos that I might want to play, but I haven't decided yet.
Games that aren't worth putting on my Wishlist, but that I'm not prepared to discard entirely.
Games from my wishlist that I'm unsure if I actually want to play and that I need to sort.
Games that I haven't wishlisted but might want to.
Everything to do with itch.io because their launcher and storefront is garbage.

In terms of manga, I use a database site but there are limitations.

There are some I've read one chapter of and saved for later, some I've read nothing of but want to read, and some I'm reading but put on pause because of the release schedule.
When it's time to start a new manga, I normally pick out more than one. When that happens I bookmark the list and go back to it after I finished the previous one.
There are manga from before I started using a manga database and haven't sorted.
There are manga that I've marked as "want to read" but for various reasons am reconsidering.
There are oneshots I've read on Reddit and saved.

As for why I don't self-host, I don't really want to buy more disk space in this economy. Also (and more importantly) a collection of pirated manga is far harder to backup than just a database. In terms of preservation, I have so much new stuff to read that I'm not too fussed if something goes away.

Isn't this the truth.

Thanks for kindly responding, I find it interesting.
