The day heated up earlier than expected, but thankfully we had shade and a little breeze to help us enjoy our hike.

NEW: We have confirmed that Activision took a specific version of Call of Duty: WWII offline because hackers were abusing a flaw in the game to hack players.
Sources tell us that the issue was a bug that had been patched in other versions of the game, but not on the one for Microsoft Store and Game Pass, which are still offline.

So I'm curious, #Musicians
There are now legions of people using #Linux for recording, synthesis, processing, etc - it's a full-on cottage industry at this point.
There are also a large number of Music Professionals using #BSD, but they call it MacOS.
But what I'm curious about, what is the state of Music Production on #FreeBSD and other non-Apple BSD.
I will not be surprised if it turns there are none, nor will I be surprised if it turns out that there is a tiny community of elite DSP nerds making high-end products with it.

My daughter got me really into these Hercule Poirot books and they inspired this little doodle
(I'm never sure if i should post doodles or only finished comics)
The image shows a screenshot of a messaging app interface. At the top, there is a navigation bar with a left arrow, a green circle with the letter "E," and the word "Emojis." The right side of the bar has a lock icon and three vertical dots. Below the bar, there is an illustration of a character with brown hair and a dark hoodie, sitting at a table with a gray cat beside them. The character is petting the cat, which is leaning in close.
Beneath the illustration, there are several messages. The first message reads "You invited Edges," followed by "Edges accepted the invitation." The next message states "meko #nowar changed the chat permissions," and the last message says "Edges changed their avatar." The user's avatar is visible at the bottom, showing a character with cat ears and a black and white design. The chat is labeled as "Encrypted." The interface includes a text input field with a microphone icon and a camera icon, along with a plus sign for additional options.

over the years i've become more interested in game/software ephemera than the software itself.
for example, few people under 20 have grown up with a local computer store or brick & mortar store that sells boxed games. biking over to the computer store to line up, pay cash, and buy a game you've been saving for months has become an alien experience.
a few days ago i bought some old PC boxed games from a guy that had them in storage for decades. of all of them, i was the least excited about Millionaire. it looked like the kind of lazy portware that probably started its life as a text simulation on the Apple II and made its way to every godforsaken architecture.
tucked away on the last page of the manual was an absolute treasure: the original VISA transaction record for the day the game was bought, for $52.88, on July 20, 1985 at the Real Canadian Superstore in Edmonton, AB, Canada. This is before Canada had the goods and services tax (GST), and when Alberta was abbreviated to Alta.
the owner stapled it on to the warranty registration card, just in case he had to return it or RMA it some day.
Superstore #1572 is still there, in the north end. while i knew they had always sold video games, i had no idea that they sold IBM XT software way back in 1985.
(for anyone not in Canada, Superstore is a national discount grocery chain.)
even better, no one under the age of 30 will have seen these credit card transaction records. they were made using a "credit card imprinter" - a sliding mechanism that pressed the card number through several layers of invoice and carbon copy paper. The invoice papers were usually two or three layered - a white and pink copy for the business, and a yellow copy went to the customer.

#USpolitics #TexFloods [3] #Accountability
Accountability is a whole lot different than blaming. Blaming is an emotional thing while accountability has to be proven. When you cut the guts out of your warning system you may want to blame #Biden but you can't prove it. But when you cut the head of NOAA and the weatherservice it CAN be proven who is accountable.

"REPUBLICANS CUT THE BUDGET. NOW THEY’RE BLAMING BIDEN!"

Quote by CDS:
"Jul 6, 2025
The Texas floods are heartbreaking—and they didn’t have to be this devastating. While the right blames Democrats and shouts about “politicizing tragedy,” they’re the ones who gutted the very systems designed to protect families. This video unpacks the hypocrisy, the gaslighting, and the real human cost of cutting public safety in the name of politics."
