Stories Mainstream Tech Media Won't Talk About
The Lunduke Journal is not afraid

The Lunduke Journal tells the stories that no other prominent Tech News outlet will even touch.

From deeply researched pieces on the troubling finances of major Tech Foundations to wild (but true) -- and sometimes highly political -- tales from Big Tech corporations... The Lunduke Journal is prepared to tackle all of it.

The Lunduke Journal never takes a single dime from any company, for any reason.  No advertising or sponsorship dollars are accepted.  Ever.  Period.

 

If you want to support the work of The Lunduke Journal -- and help keep truly independent Tech Journalism alive -- consider becoming a subscriber or contributor today.

Here is a sampling of stories which broke first, right here at The Lunduke Journal.  Stories that very few other news outlets are willing to touch for fear of losing their funding from Big Tech.

Bizarre Tech Foundation Funding

Ever think about how much money major Tech Foundations -- such as Mozilla, Wikipedia, or The Linux Foundation -- actually make?  And, often even more interesting, how those funds are spent?

The Lunduke Journal digs through everything from IRS record to audited reports to get the answers.

Big Tech & Tech Foundation Shenanigans

While most Tech News outlets are busy writing about the latest press releases and product announcements, fed to them by Big Tech... The Lunduke Journal covers the news they won't even touch.  The dirty underbelly.  The weird stuff.  The stuff that makes you go, "Ohhhh, that explains a lot."

Extremist Politics of Tech Organizations

While most of The Lunduke Journal stays clear of politics... sometimes Big Tech companies and Foundations take some pretty extreme political actions.  And, since every other Tech News outlet is afraid to report on them, it's up to The Lunduke Journal to bring this information to light.

Thanks to many brave whistleblowers, within these organizations, The Lunduke Journal has been able to break some of the most important (and troubling) stories in the Tech industry.

Keep Indie Tech Journalism Rocking

Let's be honest: This isn't easy.

  • Big Tech Corporations and major Tech Foundations don't want The Lunduke Journal to keep reporting on them... for obvious reasons.
  • Other prominent Tech News outlets want The Lunduke Journal to go away... we shine a line on their refusal to cover these stories.
  • Major Tech Podcasters and YouTubers fear covering many of these stories... angering Big Tech means losing critical ad dollars and access.

Roadblocks and adversity at every turn.

But The Lunduke Journal has one advantage that makes all of this possible.  A secret weapon.

You.

Because of subscribers and contributors to The Lunduke Journal, this work can continue.

Want to be a part of what we are doing here?  Want to help ensure that Independent Tech Journalism (and The Lunduke Journal) continue reporting the truth?

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! 🤣
