The April Lunduke Journal Pledge drive has ended! Thank you to everyone who pitched in to help The Lunduke Journal continue to provide ad-free, Big Tech Free journalism!
The Lunduke Journal would not be possible without your support.
Seriously. Thank you.

Reminder: Debian allows convicted child rapists to be Debian team members. Also, Debian left X.com, citing "Gender"& "Diversity", and offers internships... but not to Straight White Men.

Using the term "Master" in our software projects is racist, right? I guess that makes Linux, and most of the "Woke" Open Source Projects super, duper racist.

Call a Jew a "Nazi"? Fedora Linux (and Red Hat) say that's ok. Suggest that someone is being "antisemitic"? That's a "Code of Conduct Violation".

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.

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! 🤣

This is just a super quick reminder (so no body misses out):
This Friday (September 19th), the price of a new Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal will be increasing from $200 to $300.
Which means: If you want to pick up a new Lifetime Subscription for the lower price, simply grab one (via Locals, Substack, or Bitcoin) by Thursday night (Sep 18th). That’s roughly 24 hours from the moment I am writing these words.
Obviously, once you have a Lifetime Subscription you’re set. You know. For life.
I wanted to give all of you some notice so you could grab one at the lower rate.
Also worth noting: The Lunduke Journal has phased out sales and discount promotions. The current price of a subscription is the best price.
This will be the final reminder before the change goes into effect.

The Lunduke Journal regular live-streaming is back! The next show is Tuesday, September 16th (tomorrow) at 1pm Eastern (10am Pacific, 5pm UTC).
You can catch the live video, for free, on X, Rumble, YouTube, & Locals.
We’ve got a lot of Tech News to cover — and who knows what stories will pop up between now and then!
Time permitting, we’ll also be doing a little Nerdy Q & A. So, if you’ve got something you’d like to ask, join us in one of the chat rooms!
Also, quick reminder that the price of new Lifetime Subscription is going up this Friday. If you want one at the lower price, now’s your moment. We’ve also added some new perks for subscribers worth checking out.
See you nerd tomorrow!

A quick update: There are some new perks for Lunduke Journal subscribers, and an upcoming price increase for new Lifetime Subscriptions (if you want one of those at the lower price, you have a couple days).
All the details below.
This coming Friday (September 19th), the price of a new Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal will be increasing from $200 to $300. I wanted to give all of you a few days notice so you could grab one at the lower rate.
If you want to pick up a Lifetime Subscription for the lower price, simply grab one (via Locals, Substack, or Bitcoin) by Thursday night (Sep 18th).
The prices for new Yearly and Monthly subscriptions will remain the same. No changes.
Reminder: The Lunduke Journal has phased out sales and discount promotions. The current price of a subscription is the best price.
I am working on adding a few new perks for Lunduke Journal subscribers — a way of saying “Thank You” for making this work possible (while still keeping all of the articles and shows free for the world).
Here are the perks as of today.
Perks for all Subscribers (Monthly, Yearly, and Lifetime):
Access to the 12 DRM-free, PDF eBooks.
Access to the “Linux Tycoon” video games (for Linux, DOS, & Windows).
Access to the exclusive Lunduke Journal Forum.
Note: The eBooks & Games are currently only available on Locals & Substack (due to platform features). Those perks will also become available to subscribers on X, YouTube, & Patreon next week. Stay tuned for access details.
Additional (Optional) Perks only for Lifetime Subscribers:
The Lunduke Journal will follow your account on X.
Your name (real, or internet handle) listed in a special thanks slide at the end of new Lunduke Journal videos.
Both of these perks are 100% optional.
If you are a Lifetime Subscriber, and would like to take advantage of either (or both), simply email “bryan at lunduke.com” with the subject line “Lifetime Perk” (that part is important, I get so many emails this will help me see yours) and include a link to your X profile and/or the way you want your name to appear at the end of videos.
One of the nice parts of having Lunduke Journal follow your X account… is it will make it far easier (and more likely) for me to see your comments.
I am working to expand all of the regular perks (books, etc.) to subscribers across all platforms (which was a little tricky, considering the differences in each platform, but I managed to figure out how to do it) — while adding a few new ones as well.
Nothing crazy, just a way of saying “Thank You”.
Seriously.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support. The Lunduke Journal is only possible thanks to each and every one of you.
