Many of you know I wrote for It's Foss for a while (from 2016 to 2021). I kinda got working on my own projects after that. Last night, I was talking to the guy who runs IF. I asked if he would be interested in me writing some articles for the site because I could use the money. He like the idea.

In the past, I've mainly written Linux-related articles. Abhishek suggested that I also write articles about computer history. I pitched an article about BeOS and Taligent (the failed OS partnership between Apple and IBM). He okayed them. Are there other stories that you think I should cover?

C++ Standards Contributor Banned For Using Word "Question"

C++ ISO Standards Group (known as WG21) has permanently banned a long time contributor (with dozens of papers on C++) because he included the word "question" in the title for a technical document. Seriously. It's as insane as it sounds.

A pattern of prominent developers banned from programming projects for insane reasons.

elementary OS 8 is the DEI Linux Distro

"Take that fascists!" says elementary OS founder, Daniel Fore.

Will a pro-DEI & pro-Woke marketing strategy prove successful in attracting new users to a small, commercial Linux distribution? In the words of a wise man, "It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em."

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! 🤣

GhostBSD XFCE on X220

After someone recommended GhostBSD a few days ago (can't remember who wrote about it. I can never seem to find the posts I want when I do a search) I installed GhostBSD XFCE on my X220 with 8GB RAM and a 1920x1080 replacement LCD.
I chose XFCE over MATE as I read that it would be snappier than MATE on this old hardware.

Installation was smooth and easy and everything runs perfectly except WIFI. I looked everywhere and it doesn't seem to have any GUI for doing anything about WIFI. Looking at the FAQ now and it looks like I will have to jump into the terminal. Unless I missed something.

Maybe MATE would be a better option? Anyone knows if MATE would run at an acceptable speed on this X220?

Mozilla Nearing EOL, Linux CoC Insanity, Red Hat Ditching Linux for AI, & … Pokémon Go?

What in the heckatarnations is going on in the computer world?

I'd love to point to one particular story and say, "If you click on just one of these links... this is the link you need to click on." But... dang, man. All of these stories are absolutely insane.

Not to mention the fact that there are at least four stories -- from just the ones below -- where The Lunduke Journal can confidently say "Told ya so!" to all of the other Tech Journalists out there.

Which. Not gonna lie. Feels pretty darn good.
