"macOS Sucks" approaches! Here's the schedule of events.
October 30, 2022

My next big show, “macOS Sucks”, is set to be one of the most fun shows I’ve ever done. Whether you love or hate Apple, you’re going to get a kick out of this. To say I’m excited would be a massive understatement.

To get everyone ready for the big day, below is the detailed schedule (all times Eastern).

Saturday, November 12th, 2022.

  • 11am — Pre-Show chatroom.

  • 12pm (High Noon) — “macOS Sucks” begins via live video stream. The show will last for approximately 1 hour.

  • 1pm — The “macOS Sucks” virtual after party.

  • 2pm — Exclusive video hangout for Founding Members and Lifetime Subscribers. Hang out with Lunduke as we unwind after the show.

The URLs for the video stream, text chat, and the Founding Member / Lifetime video hangout will be emailed out to everyone (and posted to Lunduke.Locals.com) a few hours before things kick off.

The recording of the event will be posted the day after: on Sunday, the 13th.

Remember: Only full subscribers to The Lunduke Journal can watch the show and join the fun!

You can always follow upcoming events on The Lunduke Journal Events Calendar.

Well, would you look at that!

Some super smart person had discounted subscriptions to The Lunduke Journal — conveniently timed before “macOS Sucks”! Wild!

  • Founding Member Subscriptions: $75 / Year (normally $125)

  • Lifetime Subscriptions: $200 (normally $350)

And both give you full access to both Lunduke.Substack.com and Lunduke.Locals.com. Which means you can take part in all of the events happening in the community… including “macOS Sucks”!

Also: If you currently have an existing subscription… that one year of a Founding Member Subscription? That gets added to the length of you current subscription. If you have 6 months left on your subscription via Substack or Locals? You will now have 1 year + 6 months.

Sweet, right?

You’ll want to pick up (or extend) your subscription here on Lunduke.Locals.com. That’s the best way for everyone (details below).

Subscribe via Lunduke.Locals.com

Here’s the breakdown of what each subscription level gets you:

 

To grab either the Founding Member or Lifetime Subscription, simply click this link:

Subscribe via Lunduke.Locals.com

Then select “Annual”. The $ amount field is editable. For a Lifetime Subscription enter “200” (and you’ll never be charged again), for Founding Member enter “75”. (And don’t forget to subtract what you’ve already spent on your existing subscription!)

Looks something like this:

 

Your subscription will be updated for both Substack and Locals. (These subscription levels give you full access to both sites.)

I highly recommend the Lifetime Subscription. Never need to pay another dime. All the benefits of a Founding Member level subscription. If you’re planning to be a nerd for more than another year or two… seems like a no-brainer. ;)

See you at “macOS Sucks”!

The futility of Ad-Blockers

Ads are filling the entirety of the Web -- websites, podcasts, YouTube videos, etc. -- at an increasing rate. Prices for those ad placements are plummeting. Consumers are desperate to use ad-blockers to make the web palatable. Google (and others) are desperate to break and block ad-blockers. All of which results in... more ads and lower pay for creators.

It's a fascinatingly annoying cycle. And there's only one viable way out of it.

openSUSE says "No Lunduke allowed!"

Those in power with openSUSE make it clear they will not allow me anywhere near anything related to the openSUSE project. Ever. For any reason.

Well, that settles that, then! Guess I won't be contributing to openSUSE! 🤣

Special shout-out to all the Lunduke bros

Last call for the "Amiga" Lifetime Subscriber Wall. It's almost full!

Holy smokes, that was fast.

The 6th Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriber Wall (aka the “Amiga OS 3.1” Wall) was introduced… what… a week ago?

I kid you not, the darn thing is already almost full! I was wildly unprepared for how popular this would be!

There’s enough space left for maybe 5 or 6 more names. Tops. Then I’ve gotta declare “Wall 6 (Amiga) is Full” and start Wall Number 7!

Here’s what all of the Lifetime Subscriber Walls look like (each shown at the end of every Lunduke Journal video):

 

If you want to get onto the Lifetime Subscriber Wall (and have any chance of making it onto the Amiga Wall before it’s full) here’s what you need to do (and do it quickly):

  1. Grab a Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal (if you don’t already have one).

    1. A Lifetime Sub includes all the standard perks (plus a few) and can be picked up via Locals, Substack, or Bitcoin (whichever you prefer).

  2. Email “bryan at lunduke.com” and let me know how you would like your name displayed (“Joe A.”, “Joseph Arnold”, “JoeyPants”, “SirJJMcManly”, etc.)

It’s first come, first served.

If you’ve already emailed me about being added to the wall, your spot is secured.

For the rest of you: Chop chop. At the current rate, I would be very surprised if the “Amiga Wall” wasn’t full by some time this weekend.

“Lifetime Wall 7” will be unveiled after the final name is added to the Amiga Wall. And, yes, it will be a different (awesome) retro computing platform.

As always, a huge thank you to every subscriber to The Lunduke Journal. Absolutely none of this would be possible without your support.

Amiga Lifetime Wall & March Lunduke Journal Stats!

Hello all of you amazing Lunduke Journal subscribers!

With March now behind us, I wanted to give you crazy kids a quick “behind the scenes” look at the stats for The Lunduke Journal. Because Inside Baseball stuff is fun.

The Amiga Wall!

But before we dive into charts and numbers… behold! The brand new 6th Lifetime Subscriber Wall of Shame Awesomeness! The AmigaOS 3.1 Wall!

 

Every Lifetime Subscriber Wall (which I show at the end of each video) is a real screenshot from a different computing platform. Mostly retro. All awesome.

 

If you’d like to see your name listed on the new AmigaOS 3.1 wall, grab a Lifetime Subscription (if you don’t already have one) and toss me an email. I update the walls about once each week with new names.

The last few Lifetime Walls filled up incredibly quickly. So if the Amiga Wall interests you, I wouldn’t wait too long. Hint, hint.

March 2026 Stats

The big news: Total “views” were way, way up in March.

A fair bit beyond what was anticipated. A hair over 19 million during the month.

 

That’s in total, across all platforms. As usual, the audio podcast and X lead the way in terms of total views/listens for shows (by quite a lot).

Interestingly, we saw significant “views” growth on even the smallest platforms in March (Facebook and TikTok).

Free subscribers also took a major jump in March, with the largest one month gains ever (I’m pretty sure, certainly the largest this year or last). Up 7,623 over the month before.

 

Again, new subscribers grew across the board. The biggest gains were seen on X, but all platforms saw a significant bump.

Hard to complain about that!

The top 3 shows for March were all focused on the Age Verification laws:

While those were the top 3… it’s worth noting that the top 10 (and, really, the top 15 or so) shows for the month were all incredibly close in terms of viewership numbers.

As always, a huge thank you to all of The Lunduke Journal subscribers. You make all of this possible.

Lifetime Wall Number 6, Plus How to Access MP4s & Forum

A few quick reminders for all of you amazing Lunduke Journal subscribers:

First: If you have any kind of payed subscription (Monthly, Yearly, or Lifetime) there are a bunch of cool perks available to you. MP4 Downloads, PDF eBooks, and access to the Lunduke Journal Forum. All the details on how to gain access to everything is right here.

Enjoy.

Second: At the end of this next week I’ll be unveiling “Lifetime Subscriber Wall of Shame” number Six at the end of all new Lunduke Journal videos.

 

At that same time I will be updating and permanently locking down Walls 1 through 5.

If you are already a Lifetime Subscriber, and would like to be added to the new Wall number 6 (or to one of the couple remaining spots on Walls 4 and 5), email me (bryan at lunduke.com) with how you would like your name to be displayed (full name, first name only, nick name… any way you like).

  1. CRT Linux Pico Wall: Full

  2. DOS Word Wall: Full

  3. Win 3.11 Notepad Wall: Full

  4. MacOS 9 Wall: 2 Spots Left

  5. PalmOS Wall: 1 Spot Left

  6. Mystery Wall: Open

Those final spots on the MacOS and PalmOS Walls are first come first served. The first people to request those spots get them.

Everyone else will roll over into Wall 6. Which is a secret, retro computer platform. You’ll dig it.

If you have already contacted me regarding being added to one of these walls (or changing the way your name is displayed), I’ve already got you on the list for the changes later this next week.

If you don’t already have a Lifetime Subscription, grab one and get yourself on the wall.

It’s pretty sweet.
