June 2025: Getting more real
In the whole 2025 I’m always trying to be more outside. Meet more strangers and feel more fleeting gazes.
Maybe I’m already get ready for more long travels? I really want to meet more friends in the different cities. Can I really do it?
Whisper: someone said I’m cute ^=^
On designs
After Google’s Material Design 3 Expressive, Apple released their new design system Liquid Glass. Now the whole world is shifting to using more and more glass effects. But people(customers) love glass, so I accept this fed.
But overall, they are all way better than linux desktops. qwq
Emm, another thing is that Nothing(a company name) will release a new flagship android phone: Phone (3)
It will not released until July, so now there’s nothing fun to talk about.
Speaking of Nothing, I switched my system and editor fonts recently.
For monospace font the choice is still Monaspace(by GitHub Next) but using different family: Argon
-> Xenon
. Also means sans-serif to serif.
I’m discovering serif font recently. Nothing is famous precisely because their graph and hardware designs, why not use their font directly? For that I find this repository: Yokilleurs/NothingFonts.
But be honest, unlike my previous choice Google Sans, their fonts are not quite so generic. So compact, so artistic. The system UI font still required sans-serif fonts.
But I used NType Mono for my window title. That doesn’t matter, dose it? Reasonable sacrifice for art:
I think that’s all.
Development
In June 2025, I only created 23 commits on github. I haven’t focused on programming since April.
However, Now I have a long-standing repository of my solutions to algorithm problems: SourLemonJuice/algorithm-problems-archive.
Games
I didn’t spend too much time on gaming, but I did want to finish OneShot in July.
One big change is about Heroic Games Launcher, a great manager for linux gaming. I migrated all my “Non-Steam Game” to Heroic, easy to open winecfg, explicit wine prefix path. That’s way more useful.
“Non-Steam Game” referred to pirated games, but it also covered regular windows apps(e.g. NetEase Cloud Music).
And… I finally switched my Steam UI language to English. :)
I’m really concerned about cultural issues… The publisher set up the different marketing materials for each language zone, even some game covers are also different.
I… don’t know.
Ending
I missed someone’s invitation and let their down. I’m sorry for that, if you can see this.
Maybe I should plan for only next two weeks?
Even though the pride month has ended, I think I’ll still keep that rainbow emoji on some of my messaging platforms.
Why not, especially at today.
