Earlier today, the KDE Foundation -- maintainers of the second largest Linux desktop environment -- announced that Tomdul Strongshout, a Dwarf Paladin, had been hired to fill their top position within the organization.

"Tomdul's unique blend of Dwarven specs, combined with his Paladin class spells -- such as Word of Glory, and Crusader Strike -- are precisely what the KDE Foundation was looking for as we enter this new chapter in the battle for the Linux Desktop... and for Azeroth," stated one member of the KDE Hiring Committee.

KDE users and developers, across the Internet, were quick to voice their support for the new Executive Director.

"I'm stoked to see where your leadership takes KDE Plasma and the rest of the KDE software collection," stated one enthusiastic KDE user.  "The exciting recent advancements in the Qt API, and your experience fighting the undead horde are an excellent match."

In other news, rumors are circulating that The Linux Foundation is preparing the announcement of a new President: Greke Deathbattle, an Orc Warrior who anonymous insiders describe as "a pretty good tank."

The Pokemon Go Spying Conspiracy Theory? Yeah. It's Verified.

Pokemon Go using your phone camera to build a CIA-backed 3D Map AI system.

It sounds like an insane movie plot. But it's real.

In 2016, this was "Lunduke's crazy conspiracy theory about Pokemon Go being used to spy on everyone, backed by the CIA". Now, in 2024, Niantic Labs (the makers of Pokemon Go), proudly brags about using Pokemon Go to spy on you... and using that covertly obtained information to build a massive, 3D artificial intelligence mapping system of private spaces.

"We receive about 1 million fresh scans each week, each containing hundreds of discrete images."

In other words: Lunduke was right.

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! 🤣
