December at The Lunduke Journal. It's gonna be a fun ride.

November 25, 2023

2023 has been one heck of a fun year at The Lunduke Journal.

  • We’ve published some of the most hard-hitting journalism in the Tech world — on Wikimedia, Mozilla, The Linux Foundation, Open Source, and so many other companies and topics.

  • We’ve had some great podcasts and videos — including the “macOS Sucks” event.

  • We’ve consolidated all of The Lunduke Journal content (every video, article, and more) onto one, freedom-loving platform: Locals.com. (Leaving Patreon, Substack, YouTube, and others mostly behind.)

What will December hold? How will The Lunduke Journal finish out this wild year?

In the most “Lunduke Journal-y Way” possible.

  • Publishing multiple deep, investigative articles which have been in the works for several months — and which will be talked about for years to come.

  • “Amiga Week” kicks off on December 6th. An entire week with a special focus on Amiga (and Amiga inspired systems).

  • The “Linux Suck 2023” event. Live streamed (and on-demand).

  • And, of course, a healthy dose of podcasts, comics, satire, and articles.

Yeah. December is going to be one heck of a grand finale for what was already an incredible year.

A huge thanks to all of you amazing subscribers who make everything possible — couldn’t do this without you!

On that note: The biggest events coming up in December will all be subscriber-only (or, in a few cases, subscriber-first). Including “Linux Sucks 2023” and some articles that everyone is going to be talking about.

If you don’t have a subscription yet: Get one. If it’s still Saturday (November 25th), you can grab a Lifetime deal that’s absolutely insane. After Saturday, the prices go back up.

But December isn’t here quite yet. For the last few days of November, we’re going to have some fun.

  • Monday, November 27th, we’ll be doing an “Ask Lunduke” show.

  • Tuesday, November 28th, there will be a live stream — recording a regular podcast, plus a live chatroom hangout.

  • And plenty of comics, satire, and fun throughout the final days of November.

See you on Monday, you amazing smelling nerds.

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! 🤣

Some reporters are claiming Microsoft has lost 400 million users due to MacOS and/or Linux. Sorry, that's not the truth. The loss, is from China. The CCP told people to move from Windows. And promotes Harmony OS from Huawei.
