    I'm alive because my self-preservation instinct is too strong to let me kill myself. Also, my mom would be sad. And I want to see more seasons of my favorite anime ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I wanted a short, cool username but did not have an idea for one. So my current username means Peter in Polish, which is my actual name in my native language.

    I started training to prevent health issues that come with sitting in a chair for long hours at my job. I mostly do bodyweight exercises (r/bodyweightfitness recommended routine) with addition of some kettlebell use. It's been exactly a year since I started training more regularly and I've gained 10 kg over that time which makes me kind of proud of myself. I went from 75 to 85 kg at 187 cm of height, so I basically went from somewhat skinny to average looking. It feels great to be stronger, clothes look better on me, improved looks brought me a little bit more confidence, and training regularly helped me reduce mood swings that I had before. I hope that over next two years I'll be able to gain another 7-10 kg. That would be my dream shape :-)

    There's also similar program called Monitorian which serves the same purpose and unlike Twinkle Tray it's not an electron app. Although I had some problems with it causing random CPU spikes and cursor lags so I'm using Twinkle Tray myself now. And if you're using Linux there's ddcutil and ddccontrol

    I only use a note taking app on desktop because on mobile I only need to keep some short temporary notes, so I put them in Note to self in Signal. On desktop I use Zim. I like that it's offline, cross platform, let's you edit in simple wysiwyg editor, and notes are stored as simple human readable files in a directory.

    Probably only that it doesn't make use of prefers-color-scheme CSS media query so user has to manually flip the switch to enable dark theme.

    Hello. I've been lurking Tildes for months and thought it's finally the time to make an account here given that Reddit decided to become more hostile to its users. It's refreshing to see such well made website with nice community.

    I'm from Poland and I work in IT as a programmer. I'm a rather boring person. I usually spend my spare time reading books of various genres, watching TV series or doing some bodyweight exercises
