They get into Ad blocking, anti-virus, and the like. The nature of "free" software comes up. Gaming on Linux, Wine, virtualization, etc. They get into the concept of a software repository, and the associated package manager. The layers of effort that goes into every distribution. All of this and more!

The discussion starts off about audio editing and just spins out of control from there. Joe and Leo get into a few discussions about some games available on Steam. We talk a little about the Steam Deck. The Texas heat is a topic. That leads to ideas about how to mitigate the heat in the home. AI in the home, ownership of software (or the lack thereof) and so much more!

We did get into a pretty cool conversation about game emulation. Bill ordered one of those little Linux based personal game pads which comes pre-installed with a staggering number of games. That erodes into a back and forth about stuff like D&D as well as Magic The Gathering. As the title suggests, it's a hot mess, but we had a lot of fun none the less. We were happy to see the return of Eric to the fold. Oh and…yea - Majid had a toothache. Fun times!
