Now, a lawsuit has been filed against Red Hat, on behalf of Allan Wood, who was a Senior Director at the Linux giant.
That lawsuit alleges significant racial, relgious, and gender discrimination. And, based on what information we currently know about Red Hat's discriminatory policies... his case looks incredibly strong.
We just filed a federal lawsuit against IBM’s subsidiary Red Hat for illegal racial discrimination. IBM has allegedly implemented illegal anti-white and anti-male quotas. We will use every tool to hold IBM accountable:
With our co-counsel, including Barnes Law, we filed a lawsuit on behalf of our client against the International Business Machines Corporation’s (IBM) subsidiary, Red Hat, for violating Civil Rights laws by allegedly engaging in discriminatory employment and termination practices against white males.
Our plaintiff is a white male and was a dutiful Red Hat employee for eight years, rising to the position of Senior Director. He was an exemplary employee who had never received a negative review during his time at Red Hat.
But for the discrimination he faced, he was on the path to becoming one of the top executives at Red Hat…
In 2021, Red Hat began implementing illegal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) requirements. In accordance with its illegal activities, Red Hat hired a Chief Executive Officer of DEI to spearhead these programs — mandating employee training while implementing employment quotas aimed at achieving diversity goals by illegally treating race as a dispositive factor for employment and advancement.
On several occasions, managers and executives at Red Hat commented to our plaintiff and other employees expressing their dismay at the lack of diversity in the workforce and their desire to achieve certain workforce quotas based on race and gender. Red Hat executives indicated that these DEI initiatives would influence certain hiring and employment decisions.
Our plaintiff was vocal about his opposition to these discriminatory policies and continuously advocated for hiring based on merit and skill rather than other immutable characteristics.
Red Hat made express statements, both vocally and in writing at company events, that were derogatory towards white individuals and presented an anti-white agenda. Red Hat also remarked on the low number of women employed and expressed anti-male rhetoric. Red Hat made it clear that it was going to implement heightened DEI policies, with the sole intent of increasing diversity.
Red Hat has made it clear that it is in favor of discriminatory policies that the Supreme Court has found unconstitutional.
In the case of Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v. Harvard, decided together with SFFA v. University of North Carolina, Red Hat, along with 70 other corporations, filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of affirmative action:
At a kickoff event in Texas, Red Hat brazenly announced its “Bold DEI Goals,” which included quotas.
Red Hat sought to remake its workforce demographic, seeking to reach 30% women globally and 30% associates of color in the United States by 2028.
Just two weeks after this announcement, our plaintiff was informed by his manager that his role was being eliminated following several months of discriminatory treatment.
Upon information and belief, 21 of the total 22 individuals were white males.
Last year, James O'Keefereleased a recording of IBM Chief Executive Officer and Board Chairman Arvind Krishna promising to fire, demote, or deny bonuses to corporate executives who fail to meet the corporation’s racial, national origin, and sex-based hiring quotas or hire too many Asian individuals.
Following this shocking footage, we filed a federal civil rights complaint with the EEOC against IBM for alleged racial and sex discrimination.
We also wrote to IBM’s Board of Directors, demanding an end to the corporation’s systemic violations of law to prevent the waste of corporate assets and harm to shareholders.
Today, we are proud to file this lawsuit to continue to fight corporate America’s destructive, illegal, and odious use of illegal DEI initiatives that are fundamentally anti-white, anti-male, and anti-equality.
System76 Built Replacement of Ubuntu Infra in Response to Islamic Terrorist Attacks
Following the recent multi-day outage of Ubuntu servers, due to DDoS attacks from Islamic Terrorists, Linux hardware maker System76 has rolled their own infrastructure.
Usage of AI (Claude, Codex, etc.) is exploding in the Linux world. At the current rate, the Linux Kernel will be predominantly developed using AI sometime this year.
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.
I have 2 grandkids that are toddlers and there are two standout shows that are on it started as YouTube shows put out by very small teams. Long before AI: Ms Rachel and Danny Go. My grandkids love these shows and I love them too.
Ms Rachel reminds me of the stages of small children and how to teach them. It’s so cool to see the early episodes and how very basic the show tech was.
Danny Go - I assumed was AI. He has so many excellent songs and movement to go with them. Lots of green screen and very simple animations. But no, he and his small team include music producers, educators and it’s all done traditionally.
Now Danny Go is on Netflix. I’m not sure what network has Ms Rachel - both started and are still on YouTube.
My grandson loves lots of YouTube shows that are basically parents filming their kids playing with toys and doing skits.
Lotta garbage on YouTube but it’s cool that some people are able to start small and build an audience

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).
If you’re already a Lifetime Subscriber and want your name added to the Solaris Wall, just drop me a line (contact info on Lunduke.com).
Last call for the "Amiga" Lifetime Subscriber Wall. It's almost full!
Holy smokes, that was fast.
The 6thLunduke 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):
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.
Amiga Lifetime Wall & March Lunduke Journal Stats!
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.
The Amiga Wall!
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.
March 2026 Stats
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:
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.
There are some options. For both subscribing and donating. They're all on this page.
Bonus: At the bottom of this page you will find the invite link to the super-secret Lunduke Journal Discord Chat Server. This is only available for full subscribers, which makes it a nice place to hang out. No riff-raff.
