A consortium of technology companies, working in partnership with the Inclusive Naming Initiative, have announced that they will no longer be using the words “bug” or “debug” in relation to computer software.
XLibre + XCE + Chicago95 + Wine + Steam. Faster, lighter, and better compatibility with Windows software than Windows 11.

Is SUSE & openSUSE planning to implement age verification which would require parental consent for teens to use Linux? It looks that way.

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.

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! 🤣

Oops. CISA contractor leaked government AWS API keys.
Good times.
Until this past weekend, a contractor for the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) maintained a public GitHub repository that exposed credentials to several highly privileged AWS GovCloud accounts and a large number of internal CISA systems. Security experts said the public archive included files detailing how CISA builds, tests and deploys software internally, and that it represents one of the most egregious government data leaks in recent history.The GitHub repository that Valadon flagged was named “Private-CISA,” and it harbored a vast number of internal CISA/DHS credentials and files, including cloud keys, tokens, plaintext passwords, logs and other sensitive CISA assets.https://krebsonsecurity.com/2026/05/cisa-admin-leaked-aws-govcloud-keys-on-github/
M5 Pro MacBook Pro vs M5 Air
The best work laptop I’ve ever been given is the new M5 Pro MacBook Pro. I am comparing it to my personal M5 MacBook Air - well, and frankly, to my M2 MacBook Air.
It’s a Mac, so all the reasons I love Macs and some of you hate Macs apply - so no need to cover old ground.
Main take away - My M2 Air is every bit as good as the follow ons for how I use computers - for now. I simply don’t do video editing, 3D Modeling, compile large code bases - nothing that requires the M5 Pro. That may change if/when I start using local AI models.
Is the M5 Pro faster? Yes. But not noticeably so for how I use my computers. I have the 16” and the screen is wonderfully large and looks amazing. If I put them side by side, I can tell the quality improvement. But mostly, I’m just as happy with the MacBook Air screens.
Is the MacBook Pro heavier? Yes. Noticeably so. But when I’m working with it in my lap, which is how I work, I do not feel it. It’s only picking it up...
😱 IT'S AN EMERGENCY !!! MORE ELECTRICITY! MUST GRAB LAND!
You've probably seen the news about HOW MUCH "A.I. Data Centers" will need in the near future.
You probably know "Moore's Law" in terms of Computer Technology increasing in its efficiency.
[Poll] What's Really Going On with "A.I. Electricity/Land Demands"?

Just a quick heads up that the 7th “Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriber Wall”, aka “The Solaris Wall”, is almost full!
The Solaris Wall has enough space for maybe 6 or 7 more names (depending on name length)… before we lock it down and move on to Wall Number 8 (which will be another retro computing platform).
Hard to say how long until the Solaris Wall is full… but no more than a few days. These things fill up fast.
First come, first served.
Huge thank you to every subscriber. The Lunduke Journal wouldn’t be possible without you. You rule.

Holy smokes, that was fast.
The 6th Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriber Wall (aka the “Amiga OS 3.1” Wall) was introduced… what… a week ago?
I kid you not, the darn thing is already almost full! I was wildly unprepared for how popular this would be!
There’s enough space left for maybe 5 or 6 more names. Tops. Then I’ve gotta declare “Wall 6 (Amiga) is Full” and start Wall Number 7!
Here’s what all of the Lifetime Subscriber Walls look like (each shown at the end of every Lunduke Journal video):
If you want to get onto the Lifetime Subscriber Wall (and have any chance of making it onto the Amiga Wall before it’s full) here’s what you need to do (and do it quickly):
Grab a Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal (if you don’t already have one).
A Lifetime Sub includes all the standard perks (plus a few) and can be picked up via Locals, Substack, or Bitcoin (whichever you prefer).
Email “bryan at lunduke.com” and let me know how you would like your name displayed (“Joe A.”, “Joseph Arnold”, “JoeyPants”, “SirJJMcManly”, etc.)
It’s first come, first served.
If you’ve already emailed me about being added to the wall, your spot is secured.
For the rest of you: Chop chop. At the current rate, I would be very surprised if the “Amiga Wall” wasn’t full by some time this weekend.
“Lifetime Wall 7” will be unveiled after the final name is added to the Amiga Wall. And, yes, it will be a different (awesome) retro computing platform.
As always, a huge thank you to every subscriber to The Lunduke Journal. Absolutely none of this would be possible without your support.

Hello all of you amazing Lunduke Journal subscribers!
With March now behind us, I wanted to give you crazy kids a quick “behind the scenes” look at the stats for The Lunduke Journal. Because Inside Baseball stuff is fun.
But before we dive into charts and numbers… behold! The brand new 6th Lifetime Subscriber Wall of Shame Awesomeness! The AmigaOS 3.1 Wall!
Every Lifetime Subscriber Wall (which I show at the end of each video) is a real screenshot from a different computing platform. Mostly retro. All awesome.
If you’d like to see your name listed on the new AmigaOS 3.1 wall, grab a Lifetime Subscription (if you don’t already have one) and toss me an email. I update the walls about once each week with new names.
The last few Lifetime Walls filled up incredibly quickly. So if the Amiga Wall interests you, I wouldn’t wait too long. Hint, hint.
The big news: Total “views” were way, way up in March.
A fair bit beyond what was anticipated. A hair over 19 million during the month.
That’s in total, across all platforms. As usual, the audio podcast and X lead the way in terms of total views/listens for shows (by quite a lot).
Interestingly, we saw significant “views” growth on even the smallest platforms in March (Facebook and TikTok).
Free subscribers also took a major jump in March, with the largest one month gains ever (I’m pretty sure, certainly the largest this year or last). Up 7,623 over the month before.
Again, new subscribers grew across the board. The biggest gains were seen on X, but all platforms saw a significant bump.
Hard to complain about that!
The top 3 shows for March were all focused on the Age Verification laws:
Arch Linux Says Opposing Age Verification is Code of Conduct Violation
Omarchy Linux Rejects "Retarded" California Age Verification Law
While those were the top 3… it’s worth noting that the top 10 (and, really, the top 15 or so) shows for the month were all incredibly close in terms of viewership numbers.
As always, a huge thank you to all of The Lunduke Journal subscribers. You make all of this possible.
