A consortium of the major Internet companies — including Google, Twitter, and Facebook — held an emergency meeting on Monday afternoon to discuss the fate of Edward Johnson.
Johnson, the first “Arch-using, Vegan, Steam Deck owning, Rust programmer”, was facing a potential complete banning from the entire Internet.
The fight over AI coding, in Open Source, continues to escalate. Some embracing AI in Linux, others fighting against it.

C64 OS 1.09 has a full networking stack, virtual desktops, and an online Software Center. For Commodore 64. That's 44 year old hardware. Awesome.

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! 🤣

Holy frijoles! There are now 20 (twenty!) Lifetime Subscriber Walls, filled with the names of roughly one bazillion Lunduke Journal supporters.
Just amazing.
Two super quick updates:
The “Desqview/X”, “NeXTSetp”, & “TRS-80 Model 100” Walls are now full! (Check them out on Lunduke.com and at the end of new shows.)
There are 3 new Walls available to put your John Hancock on… and, just for kicks, these ones aren’t from Classic Operating Systems… they’re Classic Games:
Oregon Trail
Commander Keen 4
Leisure Suit Larry
I don’t expect space on these Walls to last long. First come first served.
If you already have a Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal, simply get ahold of me and let me know which Wall you want your name to appear on.
If you don’t have a Lifetime Sub yet… what in the heckatarnations are you waiting for? The Lifetime Discount only lasts through the end of July (which is roughly one week away).
A huge thank you to all of The Lunduke Journal subscribers. Your support is deeply appreciated. You make this possible.

Buckle up, Buttercup. Because The Lunduke Journal is about to blow your mind.
The “BeOS” Wall Lifetime Subscriber Wall is now full (see all of them on Lunduke.com)!
We’ve added a new “TRS-80 Model 100” Wall (because we can)! That’s the 19th Lifetime Subscriber Wall! 19!
The discounted Lifetime Lunduke Journal Subscriptions are still available through to the end of this month (July).
Which means there are, as of this exact moment, 4 Walls with space available (see Lunduke.com for the full list of Walls). But these fill up wicked fast.
Emacs (only a few spots left)
Desqview/X (a little less than 2/3rd’s full)
NeXTStep (still plenty of space)
TRS-80 Model 100 (just launched)
Nice, right?
Worth noting: The “TRS-80 Model 100” has very limited screen resolution (240 x 64), which means only a small number of names can fit on that wall. If you want on it, I’d let me know right away.
Grab a discounted Lifetime Subscription (if you don’t already have one), then let me know (email “bryan at lunduke.com”) which Wall you’d like to see your name on.
Huge high five to everyone who has already added their name to a Wall. At the current rate, we’ll have over 20 retro computer themed walls, filled with all of your names, by the end of the month.
And, doggone it, that’s amazing.
-Lunduke
Well, we’ve done it.
We’ve answered the eternal question: “Which Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriber Wall would fill with names quicker? Emacs or Vim?”
The answer, it turns out, is “Vim”. And it takes just 8 days.
A hearty “Thank You” to everyone who supports The Lunduke Journal by getting Lifetime Subscriptions (massively discounted throughout July) and getting on these walls! You make all of this possible!
Now. How long will it take for Emacs to fill up (matching the same number of names as the Vim Wall)?
Well, right now the Emacs Wall is a hair over 2/3rds of the way full. So we’ll find out!
With the closing of the “Vim” Wall (and the BeOS Wall only having the space for 1 name left), now seemed like a good time to add a new retro computer wall: The NeXTStep 1.0 Wall.
Right now, there are 4 Walls available to add your name to (*cough* massive discount *cough*).
NeXTStep (just opened)
Emacs (about 2/3rds full)
BeOS R5 (1 spot left)
Desqview/X (1/2 full)
Once again, huge thanks to everyone who supports The Lunduke Journal!
