Heads up: A Locals issue when using the App, looking into it

For some reason many of you cannot see locked posts (subscriber only) when using the mobile Locals app.

This seems to mostly be impacting "Lifetime Subscribers" but others as well. I'm checking into this to see what's going on... luckily the Locals crew is super responsive, so hopefully we'll have this fixed pronto.

In the mean-time, you can access everything from the website, it seems like.

Update: Locals crew is working on it. Looks like it is starting to work again for some already.

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! 🤣

24 hours left to grab a Lifetime Sub (and stick it to Big Tech)

There are about 24 hours left in "The Great Lunduke Journal November Fundraiser"!

Huge thanks to all of you who have already pitched in to make sure The Lunduke Journal can keep doing what we do.  All of you are absolutely amazing.

Read all the details. Watch the video. Support The Lunduke Journal with one of the options below.

The Famous Lifetime Subscription

The "World Famous Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscription" is exactly what it sounds like.  Pay once and get full access to The Lunduke Journal.  For life.

We had retired the "Lifetime Subscription"... but so many people have been asking for it, we're bringing it "out of the vault" just for this weekend.  New Lifetime Subscriptions are available, for $200, from now until Sunday, November 10th.  Then this option goes "back into the vault".

Here's how to grab one of these coveted bad boys for yourself:

  • Go to Lunduke.Locals.com/support.

  • Select "Give Once".

  • Enter "200" into the amount field.

  • After checking out, Lunduke will toss you an email once your account is set to full lifetime status.  (This usually happens within a few hours.)

You can also obtain a Lifetime Subscription via Bitcoin.
