In what ways do you document your life? How often? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

A follow-up question on this topic, how often do you guys go back and check out these memories? Because I seemed to have developed an habit of clicking videos and photos but never checking them and when I check them after a long while, I literally have 0 memory of that scene.

I think It's one thing to have these memories stored somewhere digitally and one thing to have them registered in our heads. It's an odd feeling when you look a old video and feel "did I really do that?" Does anybody else relate to this?

Thanks dude! :)

I just checked the YouTube channel and wow this is like a goldmine to me! Surprised how this channel never got recommended to me by YT algorithm from how much of calisthenics content I was watching. Will be checking their app too!

Reading this title, I was like as the doomer guy myself, "hah nothing achieved this year" and it then clicked in my head that I was actually doing some pushups and squats in my home on consistent basis.

I am very lean guy with my weight usually hanging around the underweight to healthy weight but I've started to develop some belly which is very noticeably to the people around me. So I decided to do some very basic body weight exercises -pushups and squats.

I started with not being able to do 2-3 pushups a day to current personal best of 12 pushups in one go! I have visible enough biceps and triceps now too :P (highlighted as a tldr answer)

I still haven't figured out the right way to go about my calisthenics journey with proper plans and programs, it feels kinda tough to find proper resources for a complete beginner, so if you know a really good resource do share it with me! I'd would've have a calisthenics focused community on lemmy too.

What makes you happy? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] zerozaku@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

You can tie happiness to the things you like, but I feel this kind of happiness has become very fleeting for me. I feel happy one moment and then feel the sadness coming back. I think this has to do with the fact that, in my head, I feel I'm behind in my life and been stuck without any breakthroughs that I find my peers are getting.

Yeah, I like watching sports and anime. Used to like playing video games but not anymore.

What little things do you do each day that are your small ways of sticking it to the man? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

And how do I do that?

Our phones DO listen to our voices 24x7 (lemmy.world)
 

(I know many of you already know it but this incident I experienced made me so paranoid about using smartphones)

To start off, I'm not that deep into privacy rabbit hole but I do as much I can possibly to be private on my phone. But for the rest of phones in my family, I generally don't care because they are not tech savvy and pushing them towards privacy would make their lives hard.

So, the other day I pirated a movie for my family and since it was on Netflix, it was a direct rip with full HD. I was explaining to my family how this looks so good as this is an direct rip off from the Netflix platform, and not a recording of a screening in a cinema hall(camrip). It was a small 2min discussion in my native language with only English words used are record, piracy and Netflix.

Later I walk off and open YouTube, and I see a 2 recommendations pop-up on my homepage, "How to record Netflix shows" & "Why can't you screen record Netflix". THE WHAT NOW. I felt insanely insecure as I was sure never in my life I looked this shit up and it was purely based on those words I just spoke 5min back.

I am pretty secure on my device afaik and pretty sure all the listening happened on other devices in my family. Later that day, I went and saw which all apps had microphone access, moved most of them to Ask everytime and disabled Google app which literally has all the permissions enabled.

Overall a scary and saddening experience as this might be happening to almost everyone and made me feel it the journey I took to privacy-focused, all worth it.
