Inaccurate Computing: AI, Quantum, & The Error-Filled Future

Traditional, binary computing is built on extreme accuracy and consistency. Quantum Computing & Al are founded in uncertainty and computational hallucinations.

What does that mean for the future of computing in general?

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! 🤣

Have you heard about YouTube's new audio dubbing? They are rolling it out now. New uploads for select creators and evrntually all creators. Will be copied to other languages, via the formerly named Aloud audio dubbing servive.

While this may help creators reach a wider audience. Who owns the rights to those new language dubbed copies? How might Google leverage that data? Might their AI in another language use creator data? YouTube is bragging about dubbing, but nothing about who owns those copies, or how they may be used.

As someone who has done a fair share of wifi troubleshooting, this was pretty freaking fascinating

Also, this is historical sleuthing to rival Lunduke's, back before he was covering "Woke in tech". :)

$10 Off Yearly, & Discounted Lifetime Lunduke Journal Subscriptions
(Available through end of day Monday, December 9th.)

The Lunduke Journal is 100% ad-free and 100% free from the influence of Big Tech.

To pull off this feat, we run the occasional mini-fundraiser.  A couple days of fundraising and sales to keep every show and article completely free of ads.  Which is pretty sweet.

As of right now -- after 2 days of fundraising last week -- we are just a little short of hitting our December funding needs.

To help push us over the finish line -- and keep the lights on here at The Lunduke Journal -- we're running a super quick sale with two sweet deals:

These deals are available through end of the day, Monday, December 9th.

Want to support truly independent Tech Journalism?  Scroll down.  Pick the subscription deal that's best for you.  Every single penny goes directly towards keeping The Lunduke Journal running (and sticking it to Big Tech).

$10 Off Yearly Subscription

Now through end of day Monday (Dec 9), you can grab a yearly subscription with a $10 discount.

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 (with all the perks). For life.

New Lifetime Subscriptions are available, for $200, from now through Monday, December 9th. 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.)

The Famous Lifetime Subscription (with Bitcoin)

You can also obtain a Lifetime Subscription via Bitcoin.

Last week at The Lunduke Journal (Dec 1 - Dec 7, 2024)
Codes of Conduct! ChatGPT Insanity! KDE Gets Naggy! Firefox Activists!

December kicks off with a round of some really friggin' weird stories.  But my absolute favorite?  The one where Mozilla pays for an expensive rebranding... as a "Global Crew of Activists".

I mean... what on Earth were they thinking?  You can practically hear the 5 remaining Firefox users switching to another browser.
