there is this app that I found on fdroid that makes it pretty easy to log notes and photos on a daily calendar.

It certainly does not replace ANY of the other methods of documentation like videos and quality photos, and long detailed journal entries.

I just use it because it reminds me of the Snapchat Memories feature but FOSS.

It is a good starting spot, and makes it easy to document with photos.

It has been pretty good to me so far, I recommend that you give it a shot:

Hey, I'm trying to be more proficient in my Russian.

I think that the more letters a language has, the more words it has, and the more ways you have of getting you message across. The Russian language has so much depth to it due to the many ways of saying the same thing. This can be heard through Russian music or read through Russian literature. The more words a language has, the better you can describe what you are feeling. Maybe there is a better language for translating the complexity of our minds into primal/basic words that we have created.

Now, I might me a bit further in my learning that you are, but if anyone is interested

I have just started a Russian Learning Community that I hope to grow in the coming months.

Beginners, intermediate or advanced / fluent speakers of the Russian language

This sounds like a perfect opportunity to start reading books.

Society changes Book is book

Media changes Book is book

Trends change Book is book

Government changes Book is book

Games get outdated Book is book

Servers get shutdown Book is book

Book will always be there in its original format, no ads, no change, no tracking, no brainrot, no trends, no algorithmic content creation.

Book is book

 

Photos, journalist, audio recordings, video, blogging, printing photos, making music, posting online etc...

How do you record certain events? Make a journal entry? Just keep it in your memory to yourself?

How do you trust you wont forget the small details that you know today?

How do you trust the security of your documented life? your journal, your printed photos?

You you like analogue or digital documentation? Do you store data on HHDs? (they have a ~30 year lifespan) Mdisk? Photos? Pen and Paper?

Childhood memories? How do you view these archives?

Do you even believe in documenting the events of your life? Is it important to you? The quicker you write down an event, the more emotion you can convey.

What do you do and don't do?

Music is art, and when you realise that, you realise that every little thing in a song was placed there by its creator. It was there to serve a specific role. And once you add the instruments being place a specific way, the lyrics being sung a specific way, and the meaning of the lyrics flying over your head if you zone out for a second. You start to listen to music like you are looking at an art piece in a museum, trying to understand what the creator wanted to achieve, what point did they want to get across, what message did they want to leave on this planet that will live on longer than them.

This ties into more non mainstream music. Some can agree that most albums are slop all built around one song that become the hit. And that song became the hit because it was built around one part of a chorus that was made so that the song can go viral on tiktok.

See that kind of music I hate, when the artist puts away the brush and takes out the printer.

Everything feels the same, sounds the same. More technically speaking, most artists use the same plug ins, sounds, virtual instruments. Everything is strictly on beat, robotic and autotuned to the max.

That is why older bands and music artists still are so influential and relevant. It's because they wanted to create something with the limited supplies that they had.

Like the saying goes: limitations breed creativity

Its not all lost, still good stuff out there. Sift through the corporations and slop and find something that resonates with you.

With art and music, amounts of views don't matter...

It's the viewer that makes the music matter.
