Subscribing to & Supporting The Lunduke Journal
June 24, 2024

The Lunduke Journal is the last bastion of truly independent Tech Journalism -- covering topics that, literally, no other Computer News outlet is willing to touch.

How is that possible?

Because The Lunduke Journal doesn't take a single penny from Big Tech... and runs zero ads.  Ever.

Want to help?  Here are some of the ways you can help support the mission of The Lunduke Journal.

Standard Subscriptions

The most common way of supporting The Lunduke Journal is simply to pick up a standard Monthly or Yearly subscription via Lunduke.Locals.com.  This gives you full access to the main community site on Lunduke.Locals.com and makes sure you will get every exclusive book, article, and video released.

Choose whichever type of subscription you'd like and click the link below:

Lifetime Subscriptions

Want the benefits of a Standard Monthly subscription... but want to pay once and never need to pay again?  For life?  Want to support The Lunduke Journal, in a big way, right up front?  The Lifetime Subscription is a great option: for $300 USD.

  • Go to Lunduke.Locals.com/support.
  • Select "Give Once".
  • Enter "300" into the amount field.
  • After checking out, Lunduke will toss you an email once your account is set to full lifetime status.

One Time Donations

Bitcoin Lifetime Subscriptions & One Time Donations

You can also obtain a Lifetime Subscription via Bitcoin (this is the only subscription type we offer via Bitcoin).

  • Send $300 worth of Bitcoin (or more) to the following address:

  • Email "[email protected]" with the following information: What time you made the transaction, how much was sent (in Bitcoin), and the email address you use (or plan to use) on Locals.com.

Here's a handy-dandy QR code you can scan that also has a Bitcoin Wallet Address for The Lunduke Journal:

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! 🤣

Loving the Modern World

FaceTiming with my grandson is a wonder of modern life. They live four hours away, so this is how I see him most. He totally gets that he's talking to Pawpaw. He wants to hold the phone and disconnects us a lot but it’s fun. He gives me kisses by phone.

My daughter sends us photos nearly every day. What a boon to families that don’t live near each other.

We have a family group chat. Three adult children and their partners are all on it keeping us connected with ease.

Don’t want to go back to the dark ages myself.

Last week at The Lunduke Journal (Sep 15 - Sep 21, 2024)
Real-Time Linux! Dystopian AI Future! Fake AI Podcasts! Exploding Pagers!

If you only have time for two shows, check out the "Real-Time Linux" and "FreeCAD" episodes.  Some seriously fun, good news for Linux in there.

But, boy-howdy, outside of Linux... there was some seriously funky news this week.  Especially when it comes to AI shenanigans.  Fake AI Podcasts, AI used to brainwash people, AI surveillance... pretty weird and dark stuff.  All of the AI stories are worth checking out.
