Clarification: I'm not just generically looking for more people to follow or more interesting content. I want to follow people I already interact with here on bsky. If we like each others posts and occasionally comment or DM, it would be super poggers to do that with you on mastodon instead.

I would very much like to avoid automated posts on my timeline, but that's really cool, thanks for sharing!

If any of you guys have mastodon, please lmk your handle! 🙏 I've been spending a lot more time over there. My bsky feeds are like 85% angry people and promo (self or otherwise) these days, I'm kind of over it. It's bad mental hanging out here.

Since I didn't know it was a thing until this morning by total accident, YouTube has added not one but *two* voice "enhancements," Stable Volume and Voice Boost, that can really muck up the audio on videos. Here's the info and how to turn them off: support.google.com/youtube/answ...

So.... Yes you forget to start it (unless you have a script)?

I am not really a fan of oats either but I tolerate them when I'm trying to make healthier choices haha. But I think I'm the opposite of you - I only add as little toppings etc as I can. If I'm going to pile a bunch of fruits etc on top, I'd rather just be eating the fruits by themselves

(the science is computer science because I might add a reminder for this as a feature to my timer. but not if it's only a syl-problem)

QUESTION: How many of you open a study/pomodoro timer and just... forget to actually start it? asking for science, please respond o7

OK TELL ME WHAT YOU DO FOR YOURS AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE and also how do you feel about like, normal oats? Do we just prefer the opposite texture lol

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

Of course! I'll DM you a link! This pomo has absolutely nothing to do with streaming btw LMAO there's twitch integration planned eventually but overall it's intended for just general use/productivity. I made it for myself specifically to use OFF stream 😂

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

Oh you mean just the beef IN the ramen?? I thought you meant like a whole separate burger to the side hahah that makes more sense

100

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

Poring some hot water into a foam cup at 6am is pretty different energy to frying up patties and assembling an entire burger at 6am LMAO

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

it is 1.8% protein by weight LMAOOO so like. Technically yes, but

010

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

I walked into the kitchen intending to have a healthy, well-balanced breakfast, and walked out with a bowl of instant ramen. Gonna be one of those days

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

I am comparing the way I usually have oats vs how the overnight ones came out lmaooo we are not going to troubleshoot my toppings If the "issue" is with my toppings, I am not interested in "fixing" it.

100

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

I did!! I actually woke up too early and had to have something else for breakfast LMAO

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

Wow overnight oats are Not Good™

Update to my pomodoro timer project! It's much easier and more intuitive to use now! 🎉 Plus custom sound alerts! I still don't consider this to be ready for general release so I'm not publicly uploading it anywhere just yet, but if you'd like to give it a try just let me know!

Screenshot of various options and views of the pomodoro timer. It can range from quite large and obvious with a bunch of buttons to a very small window that shows only the minutes left and which pomo you're on.

Note: This is still an early version and accessibility sucks.

I tried out crosstalk.im last night with Alex! the nostalgia was SO REAL oh my god It was also super easy to set up, like wow.

Screenshot of a MSN client. It looks very similar to the one from 2009!

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

I can tell you right now absolutely nothing will happen if I try to lie down and sleep hahaha

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

I don't think I'm at that level yet. 150mg in my legit coffee and only 77mg in the energy drink, plus whatever was in the trashy instant latte I had earlier (not very strong so probably 50-80mg?). 300mg/day is the threshold for PREGNANT women, pretty sure it's fine.

000

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Thinking about balancing out the coffee with an energy drink but I can't tell if this is genius or stupid in my current state 🤔

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

The dumbest part is that I accidentally ground myself decaf beans first AND THEN I PUT IT ASIDE FOR ALEX AND MADE MYSELF A NORMAL ONE IF I'D JUST USED THAT DECAF I WOULD PROBABLY BE FINE RN

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

NOW I'M MANIC AND SLEEPY/TIRED AT THE SAME TIME JUST END ME

I FORGOT COFFEE MAKES ME SLEEPY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

Implying I am just manic and obnoxious 100% of the time LMAOOOOOO /j

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

The prescribed steroids have yeeted me into mania(/hypomania) please forgive all my yelling and unhinged energy in discord/twitch/irc lately weep

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

If that works for you then that's awesome 👍 But that is not how everyone uses the app. I'm glad you're not being affected but that doesn't mean no one is, and the people that are being affecting do not actually know that they are being affected because it's an absence of a thing.

000

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

The problem is that the DEFAULT setting is to completely hide NSFW posts and NOT show them in the feed with a warning like you're describing. A lot of people do not know they have NSFW set to this in their settings and can't see the posts at all. And your entire account can get flagged as NSFW.

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

This has been on my mind a lot over the last week, especially coming into pride month. I think I need to stop sweeping my gender identity under the rug all the time

140

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

I'm sure they're hidden like that too, but that is still a huge problem imo lmao

bsky I am missing random notifications, stop vibe-coding your shit

040

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

I know right?? From my understanding they made it so bsky mods can tag your entire account as NSFW, and the default setting is to hide NSFW posts completely. So a lot of content creators just get disappeared even if also post SFW stuff.

110

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

Also for the record, I'm still speaking about people that haven't tried mastodon at all. If someone's tried it and didn't like it, I can respect that. Just give it a chance 😭

010

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

Yeah... I know people active both here and masto but they're def the minority. It just kills me when people get upset by things like this nsfw account tagging but then refuse to even think about moving somewhere that doesn't have that problem 🗿 but I totally get not wanting to go there alone.

210

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

I personally know very few people in my social circles that have tried it 😔 Pretty much everyone I know with a mastodon account is someone I met on mastodon.

110

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

And it's SO EASY to avoid those parts of the culture! For the most part anyway. Content warnings and filters and muted words are so much more functional there. Also just being able to mute an entire instance? Peak.

010

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

Mastodon has their own problems but they're like... much less alarming problems AHAHAHA

100

syl 📚☕ [hiatus] @sylphrin.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

(Gentle) reminder that mastodon exists 📢 It has a lot of features that bsky/twt users say they want, I'm honestly confused that so few bother to try it tbh. Then again there are still people using twitter and reddit despite them being bot cesspits now so the inertia is very real ig.
