Supply chain attacks against open source is getting worse
Backdoors snuck into 12 OSS packages were downloaded hundreds of thousands of times
I had no idea Waterfield made cases for the Nintendo Switch. Decided to go with this one in waxed canvas. Very reasonably priced from my standpoint especially given Waterfield’s reputation for high quality.
Phil Neville has rightly pointed out the social media platforms repeatedly have failed to act and called for boycotts by players and teams. We need more organizations to stand up and stop enabling these platforms to foster abuse. Twitter racist abuse of ManchesterU Paul Pogba ⚽️

Wow. Twice now Manchester City has lost last minute goals due to VAR ruling they were enabled by inadvertent hand balls. I didn’t notice the one today at all. ⚽️
I mostly watch sports so Sony’s PS Vue has been my streaming service. But they raised the price and I heard YouTube TV now has a strong sports line up at a lower price. Giving YTTV a try and it definitely has higher quality streaming for sports than Vue. 📺
I signed up for the Apple Card today. Easy enough to do (just had to unlock my credit report). The only thing I don’t like is there is no way to export transactions to personal finance software like Banktivity. The only export format is a PDF. My card will be low volume so ok.💵
I went retro/Luddite this week: picked up a couple of watch tools and replaced batteries in a handful of watches my wife and I had in our drawers. Wearing one in place of my AWs4 today. Main thing I’m missing is being able to give voice commands by raising my wrist and speaking.
Periodically I think of users who used to post here frequently and then just disappeared and wonder what happened and if they’re ok. Some folks will make a short post when they step away which is nice. I wonder if I’m the only person who thinks of the rest?
I really feel like there is more to discover in Discover these days.😃 //@macgenie
Watching Manchester United vs Chelsea. At half time its everything I’d hope for in a top flight game. ⚽️ 🇬🇧
I’m excited English Premiere League ⚽️ season as started. Shaping up to be a good one after all the transfers.
Only a couple more weeks until US college 🏈 starts. It will be interesting to see if Clemson can repeat. Personally I hope for some upsets.
I woke up at 4am as if an alarm clock had sounded. Wide awake.
On my second coffee and yeah, there might be a 🍩 involved as well.
We are family though we are not all the same.
For @macgenie photo challenge.
Relaxation for @macgenie. Water added. They don’t call it a lazy river for nothing. 📷
I don’t use a Ring doorbell. But if I did I would not be happy about this.

First Segway lesson

This was when I had shoulder surgery. I had to wear an immobilizer for 6 weeks that strapped my arm to my body. For the first two weeks I couldn’t even lay down so had to sleep in a chair. Good times!
Ate at the new Lazy Dog by our house for the first time. 👍🏼👍🏼
Enjoying the sound of a gentle rain on the window this morning. It’s a bit unusual here because rain usually involves thunderstorms. 🌧 ☕️
Wispy clouds today. Our class of 2022 daughter is going through orientation and club rush this morning. Future college costs are beginning to loom large! ⛅️ 📷
Years ago when Fox broadcast English Premiere League games they also aired Sky Sports News. When NBC took over they dropped Sky making it much harder to keep up with the EPL from the US. To my delight I discovered this morning that NBC is now airing Sky Sports News. 😃 🎉 ⚽️
Had a chance to observe another armadillo on the trail this morning. It has not a care in the world. 📷
My daughter and I did a shift at the food pantry today. Unlike our previous shifts on shopping days, today was a receiving and restocking day. By the time we left the shelves were nearly overflowing. Lots of bending and reaching and now I feel sore. A good day.
