By request, I am making “Lifetime Subscriptions” to The Lunduke Journal once again available… but only until end of day tomorrow (Friday, December 30th). So, if you want one, chop chop.
The “Lifetime Subscription” (which runs $300) has the same benefits as the “Founding Member” subscription… with the added bonus of lasting forever. Meaning you get absolutely every perk The Lunduke Journal offers… and you never need to pay again. For life. Which is pretty cool.
Worth noting: If you are a current Monthly, Yearly, or Founding Member subscriber — you can apply the total amount you have already paid during 2022 towards your Lifetime Subscription. Good way to save some bucks. If you need assistance in figuring out how much you’ve paid for your current subscription, feel free to ask and Lunduke can look it up.
How to snag a Lifetime Subscription:
Go to the Lunduke.Locals.com subscription page. Select the “Annual” option, and select “Card”. Then enter the amount for a Lifetime Subscription ($300 minus anything you’ve already paid in 2022).
You will then be contacted by Lunduke to finalize setting up your account (it’s super easy).
Just be sure to do it before end of day on Friday. Because, on Friday night, I’m putting the “Lifetime Subscription” option back in the vault and it will no longer be available for folks to purchase.
This is the first and last note you’ll see about this. No reminders.
Open Source Initiative Hides Election Details, Others Fear "Political Retribution"
Last month, the Open Source Initiative held an election where the votes were tampered with in order to exclude "reform" candidates". Now many fear "retribution" if they speak out.
Leaked Video: Adobe CEO & CPO Announce Ending DEI Policies
"We have never hired based on quotas... but going forward we will discontinue the practice", "We have a duty to operate within the boundaries of the law".
The prominent Tech Publication is not just Anti-Trump... but Anti-Jewish and Pro-Hamas. At this point there simply aren't many Tech News outlets left who are not Extreme Leftists.
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.
A huge thank you to everyone who has already pitched in — but we’re not quite to our April goal yet. Luckily we have (checks watch) around 16 hours left! If you’ve been thinking about contributing… now’s the time!
Through today — Friday (April 18th) — you can snag the following Lunduke Journal discounts:
Oh! And everyone who uses Bitcoin — as either a one-time donation or for a Lifetime Subscription — will get their contribution doubled by a generous fan who is matching donations (1 to 1). Pretty awesome.
Support The Lunduke Journal (with Bitcoin matching through Monday April 21st!)
UPDATE: The April pledge drive has been extended through Monday (April 21st)! There are a lot of people celebrating both Easter and Passover right now, so this will give folks a better chance to take part.
April has been an absolutely wild month so far — filled with leaks from Adobe, Red Hat, IBM, & Microsoft. Huge DEI-related Big Tech news. The works.
Many stories that not one other Tech News outlet has the cajones to cover honestly — Tech news stories which, without The Lunduke Journal, would never get told at all.
(And April is only half way over. Crazy!)
All of this is possible because of support from you. The Lunduke Journal never takes a dime from Big Tech. This allows The Lunduke Journal to cover any topic (and any Big Tech company) honestly… without fear of getting cancelled.
In order to pull off this feat (which is fairly unique in the world of Tech News), every month or so we run a two day pledge drive. Nothing crazy. Just a few discounts on subscriptions, send out a “hey, you should subscribe” email or two, and — boom — we remain independently funded and can afford to keep every single show 100% free from advertisements.
Pretty good deal, eh?
Well, this month we’ve got something extra cool.
Matched Bitcoin Donations
A very well known, and very awesome, nerd is offering to match all Bitcoin donations (and Bitcoin subscriptions) made over the next 48 hours. Up to a total of 1 BTC.
No strings attached. Other than, and I quote, “Just keep pissing them off.” (I’m also not allowed to breathe a word of his identity to anyone… which, if you knew who he was, you’d probably say, “Yeah, that’s a good idea.”)
Seriously.
If The Lunduke Journal brings in 1 BTC between now and 12:01am on this coming Tuesday? He’s going to match that with another 1 BTC. Heck. Even if we only bring in a small fraction of a Bitcoin, it’s still a fantastic opportunity for The Lunduke Journal to get ahead on future funding.
So scroll down. Pick a way to contribute (if you haven’t already). Any option is fantastic (there’s a few discounts in there).
Of course, if you’ve got some Bitcoin burning a hole in your pocket, consider either making a one time BTC donation (or pick up a Lifetime Subscription with BTC). Because it gets doubled. And that is amazing.
