Last week at The Lunduke Journal (June 16 - June 22, 2024)

Missouri v. IBM! Mozilla Executive v. Mozilla! Internet Archive & Piracy!

Whew! This was one, seriously legal week here at The Lunduke Journal!

And, once again, most of this news was only covered by The Lunduke Journal. Wired, Verge, Gizmodo, The Register, or TechCrunch? Not a peep about about the IBM and Mozilla lawsuits.

Fun Factoid: The first round of IBM & Red Hat Leaks was 195 days ago. 195 days. Now resulting in multiple lawsuits against IBM (including now by the government). And not one of the major Tech News outlets -- all of which are funded by Big Tech advertising -- has covered that story. Worth asking why.

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! 🤣

Not what I was hoping for this afternoon, but still nice to get some classic Mac time in. Grabbed a game from Macintosh Garden; Starship Titanic. I’ve never played it, but I remember being really curious about it as a kid.

Moved it over to the Mac via sneakernet. It’s been decompressing for over 30 minutes… just realized I forgot the onboard USB is 1.1 and I didn’t transfer the files to the HDD before running StuffIt on it. Whoopsie 😅. I really love old systems.
