Sunday Show Questions, Final hours for new Lifetime Subs
Bryan Lunduke
March 15, 2023

As Lunduke recovers from yesterday’s move to our new home town — driving across three states with three kids in the back seat — there are a couple quick

1- Subscription Changes take effect tonight

Starting tonight — at Midnight (Central Time) — the following changes will go into effect:

  1. The Standard Monthly (and Yearly) Subscription — along with the Yearly Founding Member Subscription) price is going up.

    1. Existing subscribers will be grandfathered in at their existing price.

  2. No new Lifetime Subscriptions will be offered.

    1. Existing Lifetime Subscriptions are honored for life. Naturally.

I tried to give everyone a bunch of notice and reminders on this, so hopefully nobody misses it. ;) I’m offering a discount on these subscriptions until Midnight (see below).

2- Send in your questions for the Big Sunday Tech Show

There are two ways you can send in your questions:

  1. Email them to bryan at lunduke.com with the subject “Show Question”.

  2. Or, even better, post them to this thread on Lunduke.Locals.com.

Any question or topic is fair game — as long as it’s good and Computer-y.

3- Final hours of this Lifetime Subscription Sale

Until Midnight tonight — when the subscription changes go into effect — I’m offering the following.

Here’s the deal:

  • Any subscription of $50 (or over) will qualify for a Founding Member Subscription.

  • And anything of $125 (or over) will qualify for a Lifetime Subscription

Both options give you full access to all sites in The Lunduke Journal (including both Locals and Substack). See here for details on all the perks.

To get a Founding Member Subscription:

  1. Go to Lunduke.Locals.com/subscription.

  2. Choose the "Annual" option.

  3. Enter "$50" (or more) in the amount field.

To get a Lifetime Subscription:

  1. Go to Lunduke.Locals.com/support.

  2. Choose "Give Once".

  3. Enter "$125" (or more) in the amount field.

Note I am processing these manually, so give me a few hours to upgrade your accounts (on both Substack and Locals) after you make the purchase. I will contact each of you by email after I set your accounts properly. If you don’t hear from me within a day, send an email to [email protected] to make sure your accounts get full access.

The cover was for "The Org Mode Reference Manual" for Emacs. But what was inside... was something very different!

Ubuntu Replaces Sudo with Untested Rust Alternative in Next Release

The battle tested "sudo" is being dropped in favor of the not-finished, untested "sudo-rs"... entirely because it was written in Rust. And that's just the start of Ubuntu's Rust plans.

Plus: Lunduke's opinion on the real reason for replacing working GPL software with Rust re-writes.

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! 🤣

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.
