The Quest to Remove My Name From ChatGPT

ChatGPT says Lunduke: is a Trans-Man, has a husband named Evan, has club feet, advocates for DEl policies, and (worst of all) loves Windows 11. Obviously this is false and defamatory. Thus begins my quest to have OpenAI stop using my name.

Solved: Why ChatGPT Will Not Say "David Mayer"

This mystery is pretty much solved (or, at least, close enough). And it definitely is not some "Rothschild Conspiracy", like much of the Internet believes.

Other names ChatGPT refuses to say: Alexander Hanff, Jonathan Turley, Brian Hood, Jonathan Zittrain, David Faber, & Guido Scorza.

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! 🤣

We’re at 82%! With less than 2 hours to go!

With a little less than two hours left in the official December Lunduke Journal Fundraiser, we are currently sitting at roughly 82% of our funding goal.

Can we make it over the 100% mark by midnight (Central time)? At the current rate? It’s not looking likely. Not unless a bunch of people jump in and grab subscriptions (or make one-time donations) in the next 100-ish minutes.

What does it mean if we miss the goal — if we fall short?

The good news is we’re only missing the goal by a little. We’re already over 80% of the way there.

Which means that we simply need to make up the difference somehow. Maybe another (smaller, shorter) fundraiser later in the month. Or maybe some sort of live streamed telethon sort of event. Something like that should put us over the finish line. (It’s worth it to stay ad-free.)

Then again… there are around 100 minutes left....

Went on Alison Morrow’s show this morning.

Talked about roughly a million topics — it was sort of bringing her audience up to speed on some of the things happening in Tech / Open Source. Nothing all of you haven’t heard me talk about before.

This is the first of the clips. I’ll post the rest as she puts them online (I think the whole thing may be on her Locals as well).

Through Tuesday: Lifetime Lunduke Journal Subscriptions are available!

Yesterday afternoon we kicked off the December Lunduke Journal Fundraiser -- our once-a-month effort to keep The Lunduke Journal free from advertising and free from Big Tech.

Unlike every other Tech News outlet on Earth, we've managed to stay Big-Tech-Free for several years now (thanks to all of you). Can we do it again this month? I bet we can.

If you were thinking about snagging one of those fancy "Lifetime Subscriptions", the details are all below. They're available until tomorrow (Tuesday) night.
There's also a bunch of other ways you can contribute. Choose whatever feels right for you. Every subscription & contribution is amazing.
Here's a video with me yammering about it.

There are a lot of perks to being a Subscriber to The Lunduke Journal.

But the best perk of all is sticking it to Big Tech (including the corrupt Tech Foundations) by keeping their most hated (and most feared) Tech Publication in business.

You can't put a price on that. 😎
