I really hope so. My parents are actually moving to the same-ish area, worst case I’ll have to hangout with them on the weekends or something. My mom loves to garden, so there will definitely be a space at their house (that I’ll probably get conned into building, lol).

Got lots of plans, life keeps getting in the way . . .

Hey, that’s my thing, hahaha.

Progress is always progress, and 60% is pretty dang good, easily 80% more than most of my projects. I wish you the best of luck with all your photosynthisizing endeavors. Considering the current state of everything, this is some good in the world.

Thank god

My issue is I’m literally moving states in a couple months, so everything has become about making that happen. Wouldn’t get a chance to enjoy any plants before then anyway.

Gardening (or any outside time) really is the perfect thing for recovering, glad the timing worked out. Maybe you could get a greenhouse set up for next year?

I’m on Lemmy, a thread based discussion platform, aka. a forum. Followers are a massively stupid, meaningless waste of time here. Vastly prefer having legit conversations anyway.

Why the hell would I want any followers

First, this is not Mastodon. Idk the rules there, but to my knowledge, there is nothing requiring the use of alt-text on lemmy.world.

Second, this is a post asking about fucking weekend gardening plans, not some world news or national tragedy. The image is literally meaningless outside of the context of the post. If you can’t interact with the image or you don’t like something, then the post isn’t for you. Move on and be a miserable asshole somewhere else.

Literally anything other than gardening 🥲

Alt-text is great and important, but nobody is required to put in extra time and effort on their own original post for such things, especially not on a casual post that maybe a few thousand people will interact with.

Some of us may struggle with reading, writing, visual processing, etc., or have to use tools that make adding additional accessability features a huge challenge. There are many sides to the same coin, not everything is done with malicious intent or an abilist mindset.

I side-loaded Mint for a couple hours just to goof around, and then . . . never booted Windows again, quite literally forgot it was installed three days later

I heard this concept somewhere once of “Technical Debt” wherein a thing gets made and it works really well but then it gets updated or new features are added and something breaks, but rather than tear the whole thing apart to fix the issue, a patch or bandaid gets slapped on to ship the thing. Then the next update comes along and this time it takes two bandaids, one to ‘fix’ the new problem and one to keep the old bandaid on. The next update takes three bandaids, then four . . . and so on. The accumulation of all these bandaids is known as the Technical Debt, and it must always be repaid, somehow, someday.

Microsoft stubbornly refuses to repay their technical debt at all costs, Apple is terrified of letting anyone ever get even a glimpse of their mountain of technical debt, and Linux bathes in a weird soup of refusing to let technical debt even happen and dispensing bandaids so fast they make the RedCross look like a joke.

Hasn’t this been in the works for like 5 years
