All around the world, people are celebrating Blue Screen of Death Day.
This year's festivities, proudly sponsored by Crowdstrike and Microsoft, kicked off in the wee hours of the morning -- people from all corners of the globe simply could not wait to ring in BSOD Day 2024!
Below are pictures -- from airports and offices... to Times Square -- of how people chose to comemorate the day.
Reminder: Debian allows convicted child rapists to be Debian team members. Also, Debian left X.com, citing "Gender"& "Diversity", and offers internships... but not to Straight White Men.
Linux, Rust, & NixOS Use Master Branch, Support Human Slavery
Using the term "Master" in our software projects is racist, right? I guess that makes Linux, and most of the "Woke" Open Source Projects super, duper racist.
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.
New Lunduke Journal Sub Perks, Lifetime Price Increase Next Week
A quick update: There are some new perks for Lunduke Journal subscribers, and an upcoming price increase for new Lifetime Subscriptions (if you want one of those at the lower price, you have a couple days).
All the details below.
Lifetime Subscription Price Increase
This coming Friday (September 19th), the price of a new Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal will be increasing from $200 to $300. I wanted to give all of you a few days notice so you could grab one at the lower rate.
The prices for new Yearly and Monthly subscriptions will remain the same. No changes.
Reminder: The Lunduke Journal has phased out sales and discount promotions. The current price of a subscription is the best price.
New Perks for Lunduke Journal Subscribers
I am working on adding a few new perks for Lunduke Journal subscribers — a way of saying “Thank You” for making this work possible (while still keeping all of the articles and shows free for the world).
Note: The eBooks & Games are currently only available on Locals & Substack (due to platform features). Those perks will also become available to subscribers on X, YouTube, & Patreon next week. Stay tuned for access details.
Your name (real, or internet handle) listed in a special thanks slide at the end of new Lunduke Journal videos.
Both of these perks are 100% optional.
If you are a Lifetime Subscriber, and would like to take advantage of either (or both), simply email “bryan at lunduke.com” with the subject line “Lifetime Perk” (that part is important, I get so many emails this will help me see yours) and include a link to your X profile and/or the way you want your name to appear at the end of videos.
One of the nice parts of having Lunduke Journal follow your X account… is it will make it far easier (and more likely) for me to see your comments.
Thank You
I am working to expand all of the regular perks (books, etc.) to subscribers across all platforms (which was a little tricky, considering the differences in each platform, but I managed to figure out how to do it) — while adding a few new ones as well.
Nothing crazy, just a way of saying “Thank You”.
Seriously.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support. The Lunduke Journal is only possible thanks to each and every one of you.
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.
