Google Tells Courts How Google Should Be Punished (and Tried to Hide it)

Released Friday before Christmas -- the ideal time to hide any announcement -- in response to losing an antitrust suit, Google proposes no real changes to their company or search business. Unsurprisingly, Mozilla (who likes Google's money) agrees.

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! 🤣

#SundaySounds

This band's video for their song "After Destruction" was one of my favorites of 2023. Seems that they will release a new music video for it tomorrow, according to this great teaser with lovely retro-inspired computer graphics. Wonder if the song will be the same? 🤔

Last week at The Lunduke Journal (Dec 8 - Dec 21, 2024)
Linux Foundation Lowers Linux Spending! IBM, Red Hat, & Mozilla Discrimination Lawsuits! ChatGPT Can't Say Lunduke!

What an absolutely insane month December has been so far.

The annual reports for The Linux Foundation and Mozilla both dropped (and were just as ridiculous as you'd expect).  Massive legal battles moved forward -- involving IBM, Red Hat, Mozilla, & Google.  Oh, and I convinced OpenAI to ban my name from usage in ChatGPT.  How nuts is that?

And, as usual, none of the big stories are being reported by The Generic Brand Tech News (tm) outlets.  The Lunduke Journal remains the only game in town.  All the links are below.

Speaking of which -- all of the links below are to Lunduke.Locals.com.  But you can now officially find all of these shows on a bunch of other platforms.  X, Rumble, Substack, Patreon, YouTube, Facebook, iTunes, Spotify... shoot... just about everywhere.  You can even downlad DRM-Free MP4s of all shows.  How crazy is that?  All the links are over on Lunduke.com.
