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 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! 🤣

An outmoded security concept???
Is the common Linux security scheme of three layers of access rights the best way to do things??
Example:
I move files around quite often and use several different flavors of Linux as well as other operating systems. And each time I switch flavors they all fight over who has access to drives, files, and resources.
I get permission denied a lot even if I try to access things under root from other OS's...
It's my machine and I always have the same user ID, so why can't I do what I want???
Did Linux miss the boat with this one???
I suggest that the User should have ultimate Writes access and any other file or drive should have global Reads access.
Now some of you will say that's nonsense but hear me out...
In theory the logged in User should be the boss...not root...
The User should have the credentials to do what they want. Any parts of the OS that are sensitive should be Read Only. This way commands like rm -rf would not wipe that out...
Passwords would be the...

50% off Monthly, Yearly Subscriptions! Lifetime Subs for $100! Let's get everyone subscribing to The Lunduke Journal!

The number of free subscribers to The Lunduke Journal has absolutely exploded — across a bunch of platforms — which is truly amazing. The real Tech News is spreading farther than ever.

In fact, the free subscriber growth is so utterly massive, that if even a tiny fraction of you became a paying subscriber… The Lunduke Journal would become comfortably financially set for a very long time. Able to continue reporting on Big Tech — and corrupt Tech Foundations — well into the future.

All without taking a penny from Big Tech.

With that in mind, let’s do something awesome… something that will make Big Tech really grumpy.

Let’s get as many people subscribing to The Lunduke Journal as possible. Right now. This week. Let’s make this Big-Tech-Free, Non-Woke Tech News publication financially set for a good, long time.

To give everyone a kick-in-the-butt to help make that happen, I’m going to discount absolutely every type of subscription in a crazy way — through Friday, May 9th.

  • %50 off Monthly — Now $3 / Month (was $6 / Month)

  • %50 off Yearly — Now $27 / Year (was $54 / Year)

  • %50 off Yearly MP4 Downloads — Now $27 / Year (was $54 / Year)

  • %50 off Lifetime Subscriptions — Now $100 (was $200)

That Lifetime Subscription one is crazy.

Seriously. Make a one-time donation of $100, and be subscribed to The Lunduke Journal… for life. (This includes full access to the community Forum.)

If even 1% of the new free subscribers who have joined in the last month take advantage of this… The Lunduke Journal will be fully funded through the end of this year. And then some.

Let’s make it happen. Scroll down. Pick which ever subscription type works best for you. Then high-five yourself for making Big Tech grumpy.

Just be sure to do it by the end of the day on Friday, May 9th. The prices all go back to normal after that.

Lunduke Interviewed by Side Scrollers

Yesterday I joined the Side Scrollers show for an hour-long interview.

We covered the Adobe Copyright fight, PewDiePie and Linux, Pokemon Go and the CIA, and how The Lunduke Journal came to be. Definitely worth a watch. I join the show around the 56 minute mark.

 

Next Monday (May 12th), I’ll be a guest on Citizen Podcast with Dan Hollaway.

Critically Important Reminder: The Lunduke Journal refuses to take any funding from Big Tech. The coverage from The Lunduke Journal is only possible because of you.

And with efforts to silence The Lunduke Journal ramping up (including fraudulent copyright take-downs on YouTube), your support is needed more than ever before. If you haven’t already become a subscriber… there’s a lot of options.

All of them make a huge difference:

Without your support, so many stories about Big Tech and Woke Tech would never get told.

Seriously. Now’s the time to support this work, if you are able.

And a huge thank you to each and every one of you. You are making the Tech World a better place.

Adobe silences Lunduke, "GNOME is Antifa", & Linux Leftists v. PewDiePie
The Lunduke Journal coverage for the week ending May 4th, 2025.

This has been one heck of a weird week — both for Open Source in general, and The Lunduke Journal in particular.

From GNOME contributors declaring that “GNOME is Antifa” to Open Source project leaders declaring that they intend to block PewDiePie fans from using Linux — because PewDiePie fans are, according to Open Source Leftists, “fascists”. Just plain weird.

And, of course, the saga of Adobe working to silence The Lunduke Journal continues to march forward.

As usual, most of these stories were not only broken by The Lunduke Journal… but most Tech News outlets have refused to cover them at all.

Highlights from the last week (ending Sunday, May 4th, 2025):

Those links are all to X — but you can also find all of these shows on every other platform where The Lunduke Journal is available (including Rumble, Podcast, YouTube, and the rest).

Reminder: The Lunduke Journal refuses to take any funding from Big Tech. This type of reporting is only possible through the support of all of you. There are a number of ways you can help out — and, big or small, every option goes directly towards funding this work.

Without your support, so many stories about Big Tech and Woke Tech would never get told.

Seriously. You make The Lunduke Journal possible.

Thank you.
