I am joined today by Chris Titus -- Tech YouTube-inator, and software developer -- to talk about his quest to make Microsoft Windows far more enjoyable to use through his "Ultimate Windows Utility". A single application that fixes many of the shortcomings of Windows. Removing telemetry, debloating the system, and other such necessities.

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! 🤣

Something to think about...
Linux has millions of lines of code...it's bloated beyond compare...no one alive can vet the changes required to make it secure...
Minix 3 has fewer lines of code...is self healing...has BSD software that it's compatible with...has a book that details it's operation...
Which would you choose???

Your experience so far with Fable 5?

Mythos released as Fable 5 - thoughts

Let’s focus on the price. Yes this is the new top model until next week or month.
By someone else. It’s very expensive. So expensive that they are only releasing it via subscription for a couple weeks. After that, it’s API pricing only. This thing will rack up bills in the hundred to thousands PER WEEk. And be worth it for some.

It’s like with employees. You can hire a fresher right out of college and pay them far less than you pay me. And there are various levels in between. In my area of expertise, there really doesn’t exist clients who don’t want my expertise. It’s a question of matching up with a companies budget priorities and my level of skill and experience. All the time I have companies interview me, love me, but choose to go with someone “not as good or as experienced” but more affordable. That’s life as it should be.

We are going to see this in AI. $20/mo for the smartest AI that exists….$200/mo for 20x the use…is going ...

TempleOS arrives on The Lunduke Journal Lifetime Wall

“When are you going to add a TempleOS Lifetime Wall??!”

I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve received that request over the last few weeks. Well. What the heck! Why not?

There are now three Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriber Walls (displayed both on Lunduke.com and the end of all new shows) with space available:

  • Macintosh System 1

  • Windows 2000

  • TempleOS

 

A few quick notes:

  1. The Windows 2000 Wall, which was introduced only 2 days ago, is already about half way full. At the current rate, that one will likely be full by the end of the week. Still plenty of space on the Mac System 1 Wall.

  2. The discount on Lifetime Subscriptions ($125… discounted from the normal $300) runs through the end of June.

  3. One Lifetime Subscription = Name Listed on One Wall. These Walls are crazy popular and fill up super fast, so I have to put that limit in place.

  4. Want your name on more than one Lifetime Wall? Grab a second Lifetime Subscription (use the discounted rate) and you can have your name added to one of the Walls with space still available.

Massive high five to everyone who has supported The Lunduke Journal and made these retro-computer Lifetime Walls so much fun to do!
