Adobe Makes 2nd Fraudulent Copyright Claim Against Lunduke Journal

Adobe's war on Tech Journalism continues, as they issue a second false copyright claim in 48 hours. The 2nd one even more ridiculous than the first.

Figma Trademarks "Dev Mode", Demands Nobody Use Phrase

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! 🤣

"Andreas Kling creator of Serenity OS & Ladybird Web Browser" - Lunduke’s Big Tech Show - September 13th, 2023 - Ep 044

Heard from a birdie that the LTSC build of Windows 11 is being fought for internally over at Microsoft. Internal forces are pushing hard for it to be offered as a pro tier version of Windows that normal consumers can purchase. This would be for people not trying to use any of MS' SaaS and just want a stable Windows platform.

With how awesome Open Mandriva has been I find myself asking this question less and less, BUT since Windows can be neutered with firewall software, GPs, and several debloating scripts, is it really wrong to use Windows?

Officially my mantra is to use the best tool for the job.

But this question is directed to all of the hardcore Linux users. All the headaches you have grown so accustomed to and now ignore. Would you just like something working the way it is supposed to sometimes. Would you like low-power states that don't glitch out? Tired of wondering if your software will run with the repos your distro uses?

Even unoptimized and bare minimal effort thrown ...

I had some big revelations the last few weeks about the younger generations and their complete lack of appreciation and understanding of technological advancements.

I got my first console in 1981, my first computer in 1983, and worked in IT for 25 years before switching careers to teaching at an international school three years ago. I teach students from grade 6 to 10, and the diploma programme for grade 11 and 12.

A lot of the students use ChatGPT privately, mainly to cheat on their assignments. I have been teaching them about vibe coding on Claude.ai, open source AIs run locally, AI music generation (udio), image generation, and now video generation with Google Gemini Veo-2. They are not impressed by anything I show them. They take everything for granted. If I generate a video that is amazing they only point out potential flaws. I showed them some games made in two weeks with vibe coding, and their only comment is "the reflection in the water doesn't look real". When I explain that what ...
