Crazy Tech People Who Hate Lunduke - Part I
Lunduke drives Tech Journalists to mADnEsS & destroys entire projects... with his magic words!
April 14, 2024

One of my super-powers (apparently) is writing words which burrow into the brains of many nerds... driving them slowly insane.

Tech Journalists, Software Developers, Project Managers... even your average computer nerds are susceptible to my wizardly words of wickedness.

And, because I have to see their linguistic detritus, I am now going to subject all of you to the insanity which they spew.

I present to you: "Crazy Tech People Who Hate Lunduke - Part I"

Yeah.  Part One.

Fair Warning: I've censored some of the more offensive words in the following screenshots.  But, just the same, their declarations aren't exactly clean and wholesome.

OSNews.com

We begin with Thom Holwerda, the editor of OSNews.com.  He recently posted this delightful gem over on Mastodon (a social network filled with people who are definitely very well adjusted *wink wink*).

Oh, dear.

"Hey Lunduke," I hear you asking.  "Could you provide us a single screenshot that gives us a glimpse into the minds of the average Tech Journalist?"

Ta-da.

Curious why certain "Tech News" sites refuse to cover Lunduke Journal articles (no matter how massive the news)?  I think this helps to explain it.  This is how they see people.

Also... nEaT caPITaLizATioN, DudE!

GLIMPSE (a GIMP fork)

The creator of GLIMPSE (a fork of GIMP) recently published this regarding my coverage of Mozilla and Firefox.

I am so powerful.

I'm going to go ahead and quote that.  Because it's awesome.

"If you're angry at Mozilla because Bryan Lunduke said mean things about them, then as someone whose previous project was torn apart after one of his videos called it a "woke fork", I kindly invite you to go [CENSORED] yourself."

Apparently I, Bryan Lunduke, single handedly "tore apart" an entire project (the GLIMPSE project, I assume) by simply mentioning it.

I'm going to be honest with you... I had completely forgotten that project existed.  But, according to the project founder, I "tore it apart" with my word magic.

Not gonna lie.  Feeling pretty powerful right now.

Wonder which project I should mention next...

elementary OS

Here is a -- definitely very sane and reasonable -- post from the founder (and currently sole employee) of elementary OS (a fork of Ubuntu).  That post is entitled "Assault, death, transphobia, etc".

Wait.  What did I do?

I'm not 100% sure... but I think he's saying I... took out a hit on him?  Like... in a mafia movie?  By... posting an article about computers?  And if someone else shares the link to that article... that person is now part of... that hit?  Or something?

Or maybe my words are like that VHS tape in The Ring?  You know... you read a few of my words then a creeply lady starts crawling around your laptop before you die?

Huh!

Well.  Either way.  You heard it here first, folks.  Sharing links to my words is, like, literally murder.  The future is weird!

Rent free, baby!

What have we learned today?

  • My words drive Tech Journalists to mADnEsS.
  • I can "tear apart" open source projects with two words.
  • If you share a link to my words, you are comitting murder.

One thing is also clear: They can't stop talking about me... my wizard words compel them.

In fact, it's gotten to the point where people are issuing "Stop reposting Bryan Lunduke Challenges".

Good luck, buddy.

If past performance is any indication of future performance... that challenge will end poorly.  Especially after I write up some more of my Black Magic Words of Wonder.

Whew!

Wonder what we'll learn in Part II?

The GNOME Foundation is using claimed financial support of LibXML2 as a reason people should donate to GNOME. Only one problem: The LibXML2 dev was forced to abandon the project due to lack of support from GNOME.

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! 🤣

I created a goal on my Ko-Fi to buy an external hard drive to store computer magazines, so I don't have to rely on the Internet Archive and save space on my laptop. It's going to be cheaper than running a server (my previous idea). I need your help archiving this important part of PC history.

So, you know, grab one before that darn ball drops! (Then check out all of the Lunduke Journal Subscriber Perks.)

Because that deal is re-DONK-u-lous.

Lunduke's Nerdy Q&A, Lifetime Sub for $89

Two quick tidbits on this glorious Sunday:

Reminder: $89 Lifetime Subscriptions

Lifetime Subscriptions to The Lunduke Journal are currently discounted to $89. For life. Which is… insane. That’s less than 1/3rd of the regular price.

Monthly and Yearly subscriptions are 50% off. Which is also pretty darned snazzy.

Submit Questions for Lunduke’s Nerdy Q&A!

On Tuesday I will be recording a long-overdue episode of “Lunduke’s Nerdy Q&A”.

Got questions you’d like asked in the show? No guarantees, but I’ll get to as many as I can!

Retro computing. Current computer news. Ridiculous hypotheticals. Any question is fair game... just make sure it’s good and nerdy.

To make it simple for me, there are two ways you can submit questions for this week’s Q&A:

  1. Add a comment to this thread on Forum.Lunduke.com.

  2. Reply to this thread over on X.

  3. Ok. I lied.  There are three ways.  You can also reply to this post, right here, on Locals.

Note: Only Lunduke Journal subscribers can access to Forum.Lunduke.com. All of the details on how to gain access are on the Lunduke Journal Subscriber Perks page.

The FOMO of not having a Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal

Time for some Fun Lunduke Journal Facts of Fact-ly-ness!

  1. The “per-month” cost of a Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal is an asymptotic line. The longer you have that subscription, the closer it gets to $0.00.

  2. The Lifetime Subscription was first introduced 3 1/2 years ago… and is still going strong.

  3. The price of a Lifetime Subscription is currently discounted to $89. For life. That’s less than 1/3rd the normal price.

The earlier you pick one up, the quicker that asymptotic line begins approaching zero. Which is fun.

We Don’t Have Time Machines

If you think you might ever want a Lifetime Subscription, now is the time.

Imagine missing this discounted price and missing out on months of, mathematically certain, asymptotic line fun. This is one of those scenarios where Future You (tm) would want to travel back in time to tell Present You (tm) to snag a Lifetime Subscription.

Go. Grab the Lifetime Subscription for $89. That deal is good all December long.

There’s a video of me yammering about it too. Just for good measure.

You’re welcome.
