The Lunduke Journal Live Call-in Show + Discord Server
November is a big, big month for The Lunduke Journal
October 31, 2022

Got two awesome announcements today — things that have been in the planning stages for many months now.

The Lunduke Journal Live Call-in Show

Coming in November, a brand new show from The Lunduke Journal — a Live Call-in Show!

Ever want to take part in a Lunduke show? To ask questions, give your opinions, take part in quizzes, and joke around with Lunduke? This is your chance.

The show will record (and air) weekly, on Thursdays, with the first show happening on Thursday, November 10th.

That’s a big week for The Lunduke Journal! The very next day, Friday, November 11th, will see the debut episode of The Lunduke Journal Video Interview Series… followed by “macOS Sucks” on Saturday, the 12th! Whew!

Note: Only full subscribers to The Lunduke Journal will have the opportunity to take part in the Live Call-in Show. The public can enjoy the show for free… but only subscribers get to be a part of it.

The Lunduke Journal Discord Server

In order to facilitate the new Call-in Show, we’ve set up a new Discord server!

Many different services were evaluated (including XMPP, Telegram, Mumble, Whereby, and so many others)… but, ultimately, Discord provided the right mixture of features to make running a live, audio, call-in show extremely easy for me. While Discord has some drawbacks, those features just were too handy to pass up.

This also means that The Lunduke Journal now has, on Discord, a 24x7 chat server!

Our Discord server has the following rules (that just so happen to be the rules across all of The Lunduke Journal):

  1. No cursin' and swearin'. (Imagine a cowboy in a 1980's, prime-time TV show. If he wouldn't say it, you shouldn't say it.)

  2. No politics. None at all.

  3. Be excellent to each other.

In order to keep The Lunduke Journal Discord a friendly, happy place… it is only accessible to full subscribers (Standard, Founding Member, or Lifetime) to The Lunduke Journal

The invite link to the Discord server is at the bottom of this post… you’ll need to be a full subscriber to see the link.

The Pokemon Go Spying Conspiracy Theory? Yeah. It's Verified.

Pokemon Go using your phone camera to build a CIA-backed 3D Map AI system.

It sounds like an insane movie plot. But it's real.

In 2016, this was "Lunduke's crazy conspiracy theory about Pokemon Go being used to spy on everyone, backed by the CIA". Now, in 2024, Niantic Labs (the makers of Pokemon Go), proudly brags about using Pokemon Go to spy on you... and using that covertly obtained information to build a massive, 3D artificial intelligence mapping system of private spaces.

"We receive about 1 million fresh scans each week, each containing hundreds of discrete images."

In other words: Lunduke was right.

Mozilla's "Dreams" Do Not Include Firefox ... or Even Web Browsing

A survey about Mozilla's future doesn't mention Firefox... but it does have 8 gender options.

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! 🤣
