Every "Linux Sucks" video. In order.
(You're welcome.)
September 01, 2023

The "Linux Sucks" series kicked off back in 2009, at Linux Fest Northwest.  Since then, there have been 15 shows in the series -- recorded at everything ranging from a 1,000 seat auditorium in Los Angeles... to a dark room... in a cabin... all by myself -- which have been viewed millions and millions of times.

Seriously.

It's ridiculous.

Well, with Linux Sucks 2023 fast approaching (details to be announced soon), I wanted to provide all of you with a complete list of every surviving "Linux Sucks" video.  Ever.

Here they are -- the only place, in the Universe, where they are all available to watch -- in chronological order.

Which ones are my personal favorites, you ask?  Good question, imagined Internet person!

The 2016 show was a ton of fun.  Huge live audience.  Really fun guests -- how many times does a guy get to do a show with both Richard Stallman and Fantasy / Sci-Fi author Piers Anthony?  Plus Cory Doctorow.  And the CEO of Red Hat.  Man.  That show was fun.

Then there's the 2019 show... which went horribly, terrible wrong!  Shoot.  Everything that could go wrong with that show did!  Total trainwreck disaster!  But that kinda makes it special.

The 2022 one?  Makes me laugh.

Oh, oh!  The 2017 show!  I told the organizers of the Southern California Linux Expo that this was going to be the very last Linux Sucks ever.  Told everyone that.  But.  Here's the thing... I totally lied.  lol!  Plus... this edition spends a significant amount of time looking at pictures of my bad hair decisions over the years.  Seriously.  Roughly a thousand people were trapped in an auditorium... watching me talk about the history of my hair.  It was amazing.

Fair warning: Some of these shows have naughty words in them.  I try to keep things very family friendly here at The Lunduke Journal.  But, back when I recorded some of these shows, I allowed a few naughty words to slip out.  It never gets too swear-y... but, still, worth noting.

Enjoy.

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! 🤣

"Andreas Kling creator of Serenity OS & Ladybird Web Browser" - Lunduke’s Big Tech Show - September 13th, 2023 - Ep 044

Japan's Square-Enix Game Developer is going to focus on Japanese Programmers, instead of having California and UK offices write code. I'm trying to figure what perspective is the best reasoning.

  • US Game Developers either write code "poorly" - or inject politics where it isn't wanted.
  • Game Publishers cannot justify Added "Translation" (Localization) Costs for Games, based on Lower Sales in the US and the UK.
  • Are False "Academic Credentials" in play? H-1B Visas in US "Cheated" for Employment? Are American Coders "evenly skilled" for Gaming, or Database Ops, or Web/Commerce, or Science/Robotics?
  • Are Japanese concerned about "Careless Use" of A.I. Code Generation (hallucinations/bugs)?

I asked ChatGPT, but I thought it gave a really weak answer.
Grok was far better in clarifying the concept of Socialist Computing.

👨‍🔬 For now, I think that I will hide the "A.I. Prompt", but part of it included:

  • How can programming practices become more like Venezuela after its transition to Socialist policies?
