Once a month, The Lunduke Journal runs a two day fundraiser to support the kind of Truly Independent Tech Journalism (tm) you've come to expect.

This simple, 2 day fundraiser makes the following possible:

• No advertisements (of any kind) in any show or article from The Lunduke Journal. We get right into the meat of every story without a deluge of "sponsor breaks", banners, or pop-over video ads.

• No Big Tech Influence anywhere within The lunduke Journal. Because we never take a single penny from Big Tech.

• Total Editorial Freedom. We can cover the stories that would get other Tech Journalists cancelled. Nobody can tell The Lunduke Journal what to talk about.

But this is only possible... thanks to all of you.

If you appreciate what The Lunduke Journal does, consider grabbing a subscription or making a one-time donation. Lots of options (big and small).

Ways to Support The Lunduke Journal

So many options. All of the details and options are below.

Bonus: During the fundraiser -- and only during the fundraiser (through Tuesday, Dec 3rd) -- the, much coveted, "Lunduke Journal Lifetime Subscription" is available. A great way to support this work while getting lifetime access to all of the perks of being a subscriber.

The Famous Lifetime Subscription
