I’m curious to see what Lemmygrad does in their free time, apart from shitposting on an obscure internet board.

I went out to a park to chill in the shade and read a book / sleep in the grass.

I also spent some time working on my indoor herb garden. My basil started quickly but since a few days, my cilantro has joined the race as well. Unfortunately there are no signs of the spring onions yet, but inshallah they will grow.

I made banana bread with my gf and afterwards we went to a bar.

Today, I will do a workout and follow my cat’s advice of doing absolutely nothing. It’s too hot and with the sun on maximum UV strength, going outside would mean turning into a lobster very quickly.

    I’ve been out the last two days with some family. A short weekend trip to a touristy lake which everyone talks about but I hadn’t gotten to before now. Saw a couple cool old cities and towns and an entire island turned into a botanical garden by some feudal descendants of some sort. Grabbed a couple neat craft beers, had dinner on the lake shore, avoided all but the most mild sunburn. It’s been a decent weekend.

    Contrary to my username, I spent pretty much all of yesterday asleep. Today I’m gonna make the lemmy UI look good on larger screens.

    Tried to enjoy the outdoors! Well, I succeeded, but it was so hot I had to take lots of breaks. But I managed to neaten up the garden. I listen to (mostly Spanish) audiobooks while I do that.

    I got through about three hours of Assata Shakur’s Autobiography in Spanish. It’s a great book. One memorable line (if I got the translation right) is, ‘Never let your enemies decide who your enemies are.’

    With a little more sleep it would’ve been a perfect weekend.

    I’m also growing some herbs indoors. I have coriander, basil, and mint. The first two are doing great and I’ve been using them in dishes. The mint is growing but slowly. Can’t wait for some home-grown mint tea!

    I installed Gentoo alongside Debian and Windows, took me an entire day 😅

    Also I saw on distrowatch that there is an open source OS on development that can run Windows stuff natively (.exe programs and all these things), It’s called ReactOS. I tried installing it on my PC but the USB just wouldn’t boot :(

    And this isn’t from my weekend but I discovered that I absolutely love the KDE Classic cursors for some reason. I guess it’s because they are so simple and kinda give retro vibes.

      ReactOS has been in the pipeline for a long time I believe. Have they made much breakthroughs recently? Would be legitimately awesome if they got it to be usable, kinda have my doubts about its viability as a true windows alternative though tbh, as awesome as it would be.
