The Commodore Smartphone Blocks Social Media & Browsers
An official Commodore flip phone. Which runs Android. But purposefully blocks Web Browsers and Social Media Apps. And disabled Touchscreen. For $550. Seriously.
And, yes. I misspelled "smartphone" in the title. Typing is hard.

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! 🤣

Personal Empowerment with GenAI
I have been concerned that GenAI has the ability to cause destruction of the job market via replacing human jobs with AI at a more rapid pace than job creation. It is a POSSIBLE fate. It is not set in stone, nor is it inevitable. I believe with intention, effort and direction a future of abundance can be brought about by the enhancement of human capability with AI. I wrote a book series about it from three different lenses: the consultant company (my field), the business (our clients), and the personal (everybody). They are handbooks with exercises, not just theory.

They are evidence I’m living out the enhanced life. I’ve never written books before. I write a LOT of tech posts. It’s not the same thing, but AI helped me take my ideas and put them into book form.
I recommend reading the personal empowerment book if you have an interest in this area. You’ll want to give it to others (and feel free to).

AI Dependency
This issue has been brought up and it’s a good one - what happens if you start using AI and become dependent on it? I will start by conceding it will happen to everyone and it has happened to me. Now let me explain how it’s not what the fear mongers think.
I’m also going to set aside my “Use AI to enhance yourself, not replace yourself”. It’s a related, but different topic and I’ve written several books on it. Just know that I acknowledge that lazy students who have AI write their papers harm themselves in exactly the same way paying for term papers always has. They cheat themselves.
So, we are left with - even if you use AI reasonably, you aren’t cheating with it, your mind is engaged and you are using it as an appropriate tool, not as personal replacement — you STILL have a dependency issue.
Truth 1: I’m already dependent on phones, cars, electricity, credit cards, grocery stores - the list is endless. I’m already dependent on computers and the cloud...
"C64" & "BeOS" Lunduke Journal Lifetime Walls open!
The “TempleOS” and “Macintosh System 1” Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriber Walls are full! Those suckers filled up in a single week! (You can check them all out at Lunduke.com.)
But, behold! The “Commodore 64” and “BeOS R5” Walls are now available to add your names to!
Windows 2000 : 2 spots left
Commodore 64 : Space available
BeOS R5 : Space available
Those last two spots on the Windows 2000 Wall won’t last long. And, honestly, I expect the C64 Wall to by full pretty quickly.

Lunduke's Week in Tech : June 7 - June 13, 2026
It has been, yet another, weird and wild week in the world of Tech and Open Source.
Filled with awesome and inspiring stories (Linux logos on Race cars!)… mixed with bizarre, Woke politics and concerning technical news.
And, as usual, all but one of the big stories this week were completely ignored by the other of the Tech News outlets.
Here are the major stories from the last week, with direct links to X and Substack. You can also watch / listen on a bunch of other platforms (Rumble, RSS Audio Podcast, etc.), listed on Lunduke.com.
Rust-Based Malware Hits 1.4% of Arch User Repository (X, Substack)
Godot Game Engine Promotes Extreme, Pro-Trans "Pronoun Palace" Game (X, Substack)
GNOME in Damage Control Mode After Revelations from Ex Board Member (X, Substack)
Proton Mail Apologizes for Sponsoring "Far Right French YouTuber" (X, Substack)
Ex Board Member Reveals Corruption & Dysfunction at GNOME Foundation (X, Substack)
AI Generated Patches to Linux Kernel Hits New Record High (X, Substack)
Huge thank you to all of The Lunduke Journal’s subscribers. You make all of this possible.

TempleOS arrives on The Lunduke Journal Lifetime Wall
“When are you going to add a TempleOS Lifetime Wall??!”
I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve received that request over the last few weeks. Well. What the heck! Why not?
There are now three Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscriber Walls (displayed both on Lunduke.com and the end of all new shows) with space available:
Macintosh System 1
Windows 2000
TempleOS
A few quick notes:
The Windows 2000 Wall, which was introduced only 2 days ago, is already about half way full. At the current rate, that one will likely be full by the end of the week. Still plenty of space on the Mac System 1 Wall.
The discount on Lifetime Subscriptions ($125… discounted from the normal $300) runs through the end of June.
One Lifetime Subscription = Name Listed on One Wall. These Walls are crazy popular and fill up super fast, so I have to put that limit in place.
Want your name on more than one Lifetime Wall? Grab a second Lifetime Subscription (use the discounted rate) and you can have your name added to one of the Walls with space still available.
Massive high five to everyone who has supported The Lunduke Journal and made these retro-computer Lifetime Walls so much fun to do!
